Cris Cyborg Steroid Cheater Even Dr. Johnny Benjamin Leaps From Her Bandwagon!

Honest MMA fans always believed Cris Cyborg Santos cheated with performance enhancing steroids to gain an unfair advantage over her opponents.

Now it's official because the California State Athletic Commission has caught Cris Cyborg using steroids.

Dana White has stripped Cyborg of her Strikeforce 145 pound title while the flimflam former female champ blamed her steroid use on a vitamin pill!

We've exposed Cyborg steroid use apologists before. Remember Dr. Johnny Benjamin's Cris Cyborg steroid cheating lies by omission?

Is clueless Dr. Johnny Benjamin still defending Cris Cyborg's steroid use? From his latest article on Cyborg's failed steroid test, it appears Dr. Johnny now believes Santos is a steroid cheater.

To his credit, the MMAJunkie.com Doc explains in detail why he now believes Cris Cyborg is a steroid cheater.

However, Dr. Johnny Benjamin still can't help muddy the issue. He mentions (creates out of thin air?) some xenophobic rumor about Brazilian MMA athletes and steroid use.

I don't know how the MMA Doc comes up with this nonsense but PtWhiteBelt's comment about the Doc's ridiculous assertions sum it up perfectly:

"'Furthermore she only reinforces the misguided, xenophobic stereotype/misconception/rumor that PED use is rampant among Brazilian athletes and is a primary reason for their dominance in MMA.' Wow, where did that come from? Who are exactly those dominant Brazilians everyone misguidedly thinks (ab)use PEDs? Whose stereotype is that exactly? Maybe the Doc would like to share something with us? Could it be that this is his own suspicion now masked as a "let's pretend everyone/lots of people think so"? "

Johnny Benjamin tried a similar misdirection trick in his original article defending Cris Cyborg from steroid use accusations.

I revealed Benjamin's flawed reasoning in an earlier article. Here it is in pertinent part:

"So while Dr. Johnny Benjamin will claim he wrote a truthful statement, in my opinion a man with his background should have known he was committing a lie by omission. The good Doc simply left out the whole story in order to convince his readers that Cristiane Cyborg Santos has never used steroids.

In his puff piece column for MMAjunkie.com Dr. Johnny Benjamin then continues to mislead his readers by stating this about Cyborg steroid critics, "I know this and many other types of malicious commentary are the very ammunition that detractors of MMA use to wage their anti-legalization war. So, while some pitiful individuals are out there typing away spreading their filth and venom, other MMA fans should begin to realize why it is so hard to legalize MMA in some key states..."

More hogwash because it's the good Doc who is delusional. The reason it's difficult to legalize MMA in some key states has all to do with politics and little to do with "filth and venom".

Take New York state for example. MMA promotions are not allowed there because of a powerful special interest group, namely, the Union Lobby.

The UFC is owned by Zuffa whose majority stockholders are Frank and Lorenzo Fertitta who also run the family owned Station Casinos which has long been a staunchly open shop.

The biggest promotional organization in MMA, the UFC, believes in open, fair, non union capitalism while the Democratically controlled government of New York is beholding to the powerful labor unions who helped get them elected. Neither side will budge, therefore there will be no major MMA events in New York state.

All this was omitted in Dr. Johnny Benjamin's Ask The Doc column in MMAjunkie.com even though Dr. Johnny claimed to have recently been part of the legislative process.

In my opinion his cover up, omissions and puff piece reporting are shamefully irresponsible and make him wholly unqualified to render an honest opinion about Cris Cyborg and steroid use to loyal MMAjunkie.com readers and the public at large."

Dr. Johnny Benjamin tried to address this in his 01/09/12 MMA Junkie article:

"In a prior article, I defended all athletes in general and Santos in particular against the diminution of their work ethic and sacrifice by those who chose to belittle them with unsupported accusations of performance-enhancing (commonly anabolic-steroid) drug use.

Just because you can't do what they do (or look like they look) is not proof that they cheat and use PEDs. It may provoke suspicions, but that is far from proof and shouldn't be used to malign and slander an elite athlete."

Again, Dr. Johnny fabricated another rumor to cover his failings. MMA fans do not make steroid accusations because they can't pull off an omoplata like Frank Mir or train like the Diaz brothers.

Knowledgeable MMA fans have always respected the sacrifices and work ethic of these elite athletes. The fans also know that when Cris Cyborg tosses Marloes Coenen around the cage like a sack of feathers, it's not solely attributable to Cyborg's skill and training.

Online Poker For US Players My Americas CardRoom Story

I've enjoyed playing online poker at Americas CardRoom for quite a while now. I used to play at PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and UB but since Black Friday, those online poker rooms are no longer available to US poker players.

Americas CardRoom still enthusiastically welcomes US poker players so you can play online poker there even if you live in the USA.

You may have been familiar with Doyles Room. Well Americas CardRoom bought Doyles. ACR has completely revamped their poker website and software for your poker playing pleasure. The new software layout is similar to PokerStars. The main page menu is easy to follow and many of the lower limit cash games, Sit and Gos and tournaments are filled with weak poker players.

If you play solid poker you will do very well at the Americas CardRoom. I particularly like the RNG software that deals the cards. In my opinion it is the fairest, most life-like dealt deck of cards online.

If you've suffered ridiculously crazy and unfair suckouts (beyond all expected normal variance) on Full Tilt or other poker websites, then you'll love Americas CardRoom. Sure, there are still cold deck suckouts and bad beats but, in my experience, they are much less frequent than those I experienced on other online poker sites.

Remember the atrociously bad customer service at Full Tilt? You'll find none of that at Americas CardRoom. They have live customer service 24/7 and the reps are friendly, courteous and helpful (all speak perfect English too!).

You can play with play money poker chips and enroll in one of Americas CardRoom's many freeroll tourneys, where you can win real money for zero buy-in cost. It's a great way to build your bankroll using none of your own money.

Join Americas CardRoom right now.

If you want to deposit real money, there are several options available for you at Americas CardRoom. One method is with your Visa credit card. I once made a credit card deposit there that wasn't immediately approved. However, after talking with customer service, my deposit was OK'd within a couple of minutes. That's the kind of customer service you can expect from Americas CardRoom.

If you deposit $50 Americas CardRoom will give you an additional $50! If you deposit a $1000, you'll receive an additional $1000 free! Cashing out your winnings is simple and fast on Americas CardRoom. They have the fastest payouts in the industry.

You can also get money back every time you play poker on Doyles Room. This feature is not available to all Americas CardRoom players though. To get this incredible rakeback money you must sign up here, Americas CardRoom.

For more information about the new Americas CardRoom, read this Americas CardRoom Review. I hope to see you at the tables!
