Will the circus ever end?
Hector Lombard is the latest fighter on the UFC roster to be at the heart of a performance enhancing drugs scandal. The 37-year-old tested positive for the anabolic steroid desoxymethyltestosterone for his fight against Josh Burkman at UFC 182.
The news comes just over a week after Anderson Silva getting popped for PEDs. The MMA community barely had time to recover from that vicious haymaker to the gut before being hit with a follow up blow from Lombard.
Here’s all the best reaction to the latest drugs controversy to rock the MMA world from the good people on social media.

I still respect @HectorLombard as a man and as a Martial Artist. I am never surprised when pro athletes get caught w PED's.

MMA's PED plague — call it what it is — makes it difficult to care about upcoming fights, among other things. Ruining the sport, people.

Maybe the confusing new nickname is part of a larger whole?…Hector "Will this test Showeather or not I put anything in my system" Lombard?

Of course Hector Lombard failed a drug test. You thought the MMA gods would stop before we learned our lesson? This is how we live now.

Guy built like a brick shithouse tests positive for a PED marketed to bodybuilders.

In the last week three fighters with three of the best records in MMA over the past decade tested positive for PEDs. Very disappointing.

Fitch and Anderson were expected but c'mon, now I am supposed to believe Lombard is on PEDs?
