Mad Dash: UFC fighter's suspicious photo leads to suspension

Mad Dash: UFC fighter's suspicious photo leads to suspension

UFC fighter Cung Le was proud of how his body looked after a workout, so why not post it to Instagram? When a reporter asked why he looked so much more ripped than normal, Le said it was just the result of good lighting. After his opponent Michael Bisping saw the image, he asked officials to blood and urine test Le for their showdown on Aug. 23. Lo and behold, Le tested positive for HGH. Whoops.

Someone that also should have kept a lower profile is the Denver Nuggets' mascot, Rocky. The mountain lion was spotted at a political event that the team did not sanction, setting off alarm bells through the franchise. Stay out of politics, mascots.

And then there's this: Kevin Martin didn't know Kevin Love was traded from Minnesota to Cleveland until this week. Seriously. “I’m not big on looking at blogs and all that.” Uh, OK.
