Belfort: Weidman should do extra drug testing too
A lot has been said about Vitor Belfort, his use of TRT, and drug testing, but Belfort believes Weidman should also be tested as much.
Heading into their UFC title fight this summer, a lot has been said about Vitor Belfort, his use of TRT, and drug testing, but Belfort believes Weidman should also be tested as much:
“I don’t believe (Weidman is on steroids), but people give too much importance to the treatment I religiously do with medical support,” Belfort told MMAFighting.com. “And to make it fair, my opponent should also be tested with blood exams throughout his camp.”
It’s not clear yet if the Brazilian will be granted an exemption to take TRT for UFC 173, and Keith Kizer leaving the Nevada Athletic Commission could change the odds of it happening.
“That’s not up to me,” said Belfort when asked if he had better chances with Kizer out of NAC. “My job is to train and fight, and that’s what I’m doing.”
