Twitter reacts to Melendez’s failed drug test

Earlier today it was revealed that Gilbert Melendez had failed his post-fight drug test at UFC 188 and would be suspended for a year. Twitter reacted with disappointment mostly:

@CowboyCerrone: I know a guy!! Always game, Drug and PED free

@Marc_raimondi: Just spoke with @ALIAQUINTA. He didn’t know about the Melendez news. Not sure his statement is printable, but let’s just say he’s not happy.

@TheSavageTruth: Say it ain’t so Giblert … Sad to say, I expect more and more of this as the new PED policy kicks in.

@JulesK_fighter: MMA, why you break my heart all the time?

@FunkMaster_UFC: What the Funk is up with people and their supplements and PED-using minds? I don’t take crap unless it’s a gummy multi-vitamins. 

#ForWhy?

@supercalo: nSaC fails again, name on test was Gilbert Melendez not Giblet Melendez, sheer incompetence, Giblet remains negative.

@frontrowbrian: Gilbert Melendez screwed up big time. I have to think FOX and ESPN will fire him.

@NickUFC: I wouldn’t be surprised if Gilbert Melendez never fights in the UFC again. Will be 34 when his suspension is over, 1-3 in UFC & costs a lot.

@ZidanSports: Gilbert Melendez’s UFC achievements can be rounded down to one: a win over Diego Sanchez. 1-3 and now suspended for a year.Lovely investment

@MindsetsandReps: Either way it’s good for the sport. A clean fighter going up against an ‘enhanced’ fighter is a serious health risk. #UFC #Melendez

@FletchFFletch33: Probably should’ve know something the way Gilbert Melendez walked through damage like Robert Patrick in T2.
