UFC champion Israel Adesanya shot down suggestions that his swollen pectoral muscle during his fight with Paulo Costa was due to the use of performance-enhancing drugs, and said he was told it could be due to his use of marijuana.
Adesanya, who demolished Costa to extend his perfect record to 20-0 as he defended his UFC middleweight title at UFC 253, was questioned about a strangely swollen right pectoral muscle, with some observers suggesting that it could be the sign of PED usage.
Adesanya immediately denied those claims, and has since undergone a series of medical tests to determine the cause.
“Pec-gate. No, (I don’t have an update),” Adesanya said to ESPN.
“My pituitary gland was checked, hormone levels are fine, estrogen and testosterone. Yesterday we had an ultrasound and a mammogram. I had one for the first time.
“To be honest it might have just been unhealthy living a little bit. Like smoking weed, that’s what the doctor from the UFC said. He said I need to stop, but I’m not stopping, I’m just going to slow down on the smoking weed.” – RT News
