When it comes to failed drug tests in MMA, we’ve heard a dozen different excuses. And thanks to Anderson Silva we have a new explanation.
Sex pills!
Silva sat in front of the Nevada Athletic Commission on Thursday and had what they evidently viewed as a soft *snicker* defense when he blamed a Thai sex supplement for his positive PED tests from UFC 183. When asked why he didn’t bring up the sex supplements during his screenings, Anderson replied by explaining that he didn’t think it would “come up.” *snickers again*
To the tweeteage!
Silva said he didn't mention Cialis on his pre-fight questionnaire because he didn't think it would come up

Moral of the story: Never take a "man stuff" supplement recommended by a dude you trained with a couple times in Thailand or Brazil.

So Silva said he took Viagra that must have contained the steroid. You can't make this shit up. Did he keep a straight face?!

Always take the red pill, Anderson. The blue pill is a boner pill trap from Thailand. pic.twitter.com/NzZoRcUcTM

I hope Chael Sonnen comes out of retirement for a third Silva fight. Just for the Thai Viagra jokes.

People forgive people who are honest about their mistakes. Everyone is a screw up at the end of the day. It's relatable. Truth sets u free.
