UFC Fighters React To Hector Lombard’s Failed Drug Test

Let’s face it, at this point if a fighter “doesn’t” fail for performance enhancing drugs it would be news worthy.

In this new PED Era of the UFC, fighters are continually being dishonest with themselves, their fans, and the sport by using Performance Enhancing Drugs.

Hector Lombard is just the latest. He’s not the first, and he won’t be the last.

The MMA World reacts:

My applause goes out to NAC 6wks into 2015 and the sport of MMA is turned on it's head. It's great news , it is. I'm excited

I still respect @HectorLombard as a man and as a Martial Artist. I am never surprised when pro athletes get caught w PED's.

As usual with these things, fans are encouraged to reserve judgement until all the facts are known.
