King Mo: I might cheat at video games, but I never cheat at fighting
Posted on January 17, 2012, 10:23 PM by Trent Reinsmith
News broke on Tuesday that, according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal had tested positive for the steroid Drostanolone at the January 7 Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine fight card. Lawal defeated Lorenz Larkin via a second round knockout on that card.
Pending an appeal, the positive test will result in a one year ban, fine and Lawal’s victory will be overturned to a no contest.
An appeal seems very likely, as Lawal was adamant that he had not taken an illegal substance. "I'm very surprised about this. I am very careful about what I put into my body. I've never tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. I've gone through, and still welcome, Olympic-style testing.” Lawal then added there is one thing he does cheat at, “'I’m not a cheater. I might cheat at video games, but I never cheat at fighting." – for more see ESPN.com

notice how they all say i never failed a test, instead of saying i never took anything illegal. by saying the first thing if something goes to a jury technically they weren't lying. If i was not guilty of something i would be saying i never did the shit, not i never failed a test.
na mo pretty sure you cheat at both
So he used the steroids to be better at gaming? Am I missing something? I am pretty sure that he is going to lose his xbox live account too..when it rains it pours.
I disagree completely. What's the point of saying "I never took anything illegal" , when the test-results clearly show that you did. That would be stupid. The next best thing to say is "I never failed a test before", to show that this is a one time occurrence and that it might have happened by accident or at least 'not knowingly'.
Shut up Mo, your fan base was going up too
I bet he uses a modded controller as well.
i don't know who put those drugs in me. not my fault
"These aren't my pant I am wearing" said the crackhead....
oh, is that what you said?
where do you monkeys come from? With your incoherent ramblings, there should be a skill testing question for posting on lowkick, i wouldnt feel the need to login half as often
Trust me, theres no need for you to log in.
Ah, the classic "I don't know what my trainer was injecting my ass with, but I let him do it anyway," defense.
lol !!!!!!
Oh yeah you didn't cheat in MMA? Then why were you tested positive for steroids? ****ing classic excuse he made. Steroids don't just automatically show up in your body. He should just admit he took it like a man.
The thing about these guys who take steroids is that most of the time they usually don't act like men.
Honest Mr. Commsioner, somebody must of spiked my koolaid.....
if he genuinely didnt know he took that banned substance, then he should really collect together and look at all the supplements he's taken.
He had lunch with Cyborg
Yeah thats it....
SOB.....had lunch with her, then started swapping spit with her....
Cheating SOB......love triangle
David you're so right. Innocent people act innocent. Guilty people say i never failed a test before.
i think he has the same "nutritionist" as cyborg they call him big steve and his supplements come in small plastic bags
From the back of vehicle trunk...
"I am very careful about what I put into my body. I've never tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug."
translation - I'm really good at cycling my P.E.D.'s. I dont understand how I got caught.
Fact is all pro atlets taking steroids...just some of them are not very carefull about it and get caught
poor mo, ce'ya next year...
I don't like the "all pro athletes do it" attitude or all "All MMA fighters do it" attitude. ALL of them don't and painting them all with one brush is the greatest wrong here. The system isn't perfect but let the system deal with the positive tests and move on.
still "ALL" of them using it...
Even baseball players use steroids(why I dont know)
If they cant keep it out of baseball, there is no way you'll stop it here.
