UFC’s Jeff Novitzky: USADA ‘still evaluating’ Paulo Costa case

That’s a good point, I can concede that.

However I still feel like there’s relevance in the comparison, even if it’s not a complete apples to apples comparison. I think it shows how fallible and suceptible to intervention this anti-doping system we have is. It isn’t impossible to by pass or deceive, and given the right circumstances and conditions could be replicated if not similarly in practice, at least in concept. All I wanted to point out was it isn’t outside the scope of possibility that the Cuban government could have interest in making sure Yoel performs well among other world class athletes.

I don’t know if he’s clean or not. I’m probably full of shit. I just think that using his record of USADA testing as conrecrete proof he’s likely clean does not hold up as well as some might proclaim.

You’re right though it probably isn’t the best example though. It was just the most immediate and prominent example relating to Olympic level doping evasion.
