Wow, shame on him! I really thought he was all about preserving the reputation of the Gracie name, guess not.

From Royce's weigh-in pics, he looked to me like he added a bit more mass.

Never suspected he was juicing.

Of all the fighters to test positive, this one bothers me the most.

Ya, this was a bit of a surprise to me as well. I dont know why fighters resort to doing this. Its only a matter of time before they are found out.

With Gracie I would bet that he had an injury in training and took steroids to try and recover faster, as there is no need for juice with his fighting style at all. Again, not to be the devil, but these guys should know that Deca stays in your system for a LONG time by now.

If he is gonna keep any of his reputation, he had better not run around making lame excuses and saying that he didn't mean to take them.

Not good at all.


I wonder if the match will be ruled a no contest now? If it happens to Diaz over pot I'd hope they would follow suit.

California does not have the bylaws to overturn fights based on failed UA screenings so says Armando Garcia but they are looking into it.. think I read that at mmaweekly.

Im not all that surprised after the way Hughes overpowered him. Im actually surprised it took him so long...Sad though, he will always be that guy nobody could beat in the 90's when I think of him

I am just shocked and appauld the orginial UFC champ and Veteran fighter taking juice? Think of all the fans that worshipped the ground he and his family has walked on, not to mention all the fighters that have watched and followed him. Think of all the students that he teaches and all the fighters that have fought him are they going to question his wins and or loses?
also there own against him?
