With every bold denial Anderson Silva begins to look a bit more crazy. At this point it’d be easier for him to own up to his mistake and retire with dignity.
Instead Silva holds firm to his claims of innocence, he holds firm to his story of not taking PEDs before his UFC 183 fight against Nick Diaz.
“What? What do you mean? No, no, no, I didn’t take anything. I didn’t take any of this,” Silva told Soares. “What I took was a shot of anti-inflammatory. No, man. F*ck. I’m telling you, man.”
Silva hung up the phone and gave the news to his conditioning coach Rogerio Camoes.
“They said I failed the doping test,” Silva told Camoes.
Silva calls back to his manager and tells him that he used an anti-inflammatory called dexalgen for three days, and told him to contact his wife and get all the information about everything he used before UFC 183.
“I didn’t take it, master,” Silva again told Camoes. “Are you crazy? I didn’t take anything. Do you think I’m crazy?”
The fact that Silva took anything without his trainers knowledge is fishy. Usually a trainer monitors anything his athlete puts into his body and Silva taking anti-infalmmitants at home sounds a bit off.
The NSAC and the UFC have the final decision on Anderson Silva and if they believe his story then he will avoid punishment.
