It seems that the quarrel between Gordon Ryan and Nicky Rodriguez isn’t going anywhere, anytime soon.
Namely, after both athletes accused each other of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) use, Rodriguez went to get tested.
The results came in negative (watch from the 3:38 mark):
Ryan replied in a sarcastic tone:
I saw you apparently and conveniently took a blood test today, while looking like a soft bag of sh** compared to your usual form; 5 months after ADCC, when everyone is known to cycle off, with no matches currently announced.
He then offered a USADA “testing deal” to Rodriguez:
Since you’re so on board with drug testing, would you be willing to take random USADA/WADA testing from now until the next ADCC?
I will be more than happy to fund them so it doesn’t cost you a dime you don’t have anyway.Since you’re the only one claiming to be the natty king, this shouldn’t be an issue – right?

Rodriguez accepted the challenge:
Okay I’ll do it; for every usada test I pass you pay me 10k. If I fail any I’ll pay you back.
However, Ryan wasn’t having any of the $10,000 suggestion:
He wants me to pay him 10k per test so he can 1 of 2 things – either make sure he gets paid more for showing up natty and losing than he would showing up on cycle and winning (1st place is 10k).
Or he would just not compete until ADCC, stay natural, and then fake an injury and not compete but still get the money.
