FYI it is not impossible to maintain a sculped physique while on heroin i was a junkie for a few years and you would have no idea if i hadnt told u. Also remember Mark Ker can?? Pretty sure he was a heroin addict in the Doc Smashing Machine. Eihter that or he was shooting himself with morphine or something. So that could kind of make you impervious to pain, but can also cause severe drowsiness. You would have terrible condition because your heart rate slows down but whatever….. oxymorphone (brand name Opana) is a new drug that doctors are prescribiing in place of oxycontin because of OC’s hghly addictive nature. It is preferred because it is supposed to have a less euphoric feeling. It has a short half life,

Dad was a heroin addict and sis was on crystal meth for a minute and they are entirely different. On crystal Irvin might have had a chance.[haha JK] I just stick with that funky, skunky, smelly green shit. And if you got a good connection you are NOT fighting while high or stoned [there's a difference] you’re trying to remember all the ingredients to that BOMB sandwich you ate three months ago while watching the Street Fighter 2 anime for the 9th time.

Tryin’ to catch me fightin dirty………….(to the tune of ridin dirty, get it?)

then i’m the green lantern

shhhit if diaz became impervious to pain cause he smoked so much weed, I must be god damn super man.

Sandman horribly mangled his knee vs. Thiago Silva at the Liddell Jackson fight. I was at that fight, and the way he was writhing around and convulsing, we thought something far worse had happened. Apparently his recovery included a lot of pain management meds, because that is the only way you’d have methadone in your system besides trying to rid yourself of a nasty heroin habit…

Just as an fyi… Methadone is used to treat opiate addiction including heroin, but aslo includes a sh!tload of narcotic painkillers like Oxycontin (aka hillbilly heroin here in Canada), Percocet, Endocet and countless other narcotic painkillers which contain hydrocodone like Vicodin in the US. When you are in a methadone treatment program, they make you pee-test once a week and if you p!ss dirty (meaning you have any opiate other than synthetic methadone in your system) you face severe repercussions including getting kicked out of treatment for repeated compromised urine samples. These results show oxymorphone in Irvin’s system, so consider that strike one if he in fact is in treatment for opiate addiction… Also, it would be pretty near impossible to maintain his sculpted physique on heroin. Atrophy (muscle waisting) is extremely prevalent in heroin users, plus the oxymorphone suggests the narcotic pain med route…. it’s possible he got hooked trying to treat pain, that’s how I got hooked… I wish him all the best! It’s a tough road ahead!

Obviously I know nothing about drugs. Meth meant Meth to me and I have seen cops with the meth heads and I just could not believe a guy with a blood test coming up would be out cranking it out in an alley peeing his pants and stealing a battery off a car to sale for more meth. Then he would get arrested and tell the cops he’d S their D if they gave him $5 bucks. I’ve seen it time and time again.

@glza: as someone who smokes alot of weed and trains, it actually makes you perform worse, and certianly does not make you impervious to pain.

bfowlkes speaks the truth — don’t go confusing methadone and crystal meth – they’re complete opposites in the drug spectrum.

i’ve smoked a LOT of weed in my life… and i find it freaking ridiculous that diaz could have been so high he was impervious to pain. in my experience, you can’t use weed for pain management… it just doesn’t work that way.

freakin drug hysteria, seriously.

so disappointed.

To clarify, methadone and methamphetamines are two different things. Methadone can be used as a pain reliever, but it also helps ease symptoms of withdrawal for opiate addicts. That’s the most common usage, but it can also work as a pain reliever. Definitely not the same as meth, though.

Man, what was he thinking?! “Recovering heroin addicts”?? Wtf?

Man. I had 20-1 on This emo punk for $100. Meth? Seriously? Is that Crystal Meth or a different meth? Doesn’t meth make you skinny and tweak? He definitely wasn’t tweaking. Maybe he should have been. It would have been harder for Silva to put that hole in his face. Meth???? What The Fuck?

The sandman was just doing his job…. as the sandman.

screw the drug test, that no fear tatoo should have been a dead give away that he was a meth head.

Maybe he needed the meds for his foot? Didn’t he break his foot not too long ago, and maybe it’s giving him trouble.

Or he can’t get over his love for drugs.

sounds like Ervin was just planning ahead.

Shit

The Sandman shoulda tested positive for cocaine.

I have information from a reliable source* that Tim Sylvia was doped on Prozac against Fedor.

* My girlfriend’s brother’s friend’s cousin who bought an affliction shirt at the big event told me so.
