Anderson Silva continues to vehemently deny any intentional wrong-doing surrounding his failed drug tests in January surrounding UFC 183. In a post on Instagram this weekend he went on a slight rant against those who might suggest otherwise, defending himself against what he calls "lies and false accusations."

"About my doping case, I'm waiting for the commission and my lawyers," Silva wrote (translated by Guilherme Cruz at MMAFighting.com). "I'm not a cheater and I never had a juiced body. Just watch my fights in Japan, when I fought at 176 pounds because there was no 185 pound division, and the guys I fought cut from 220 to 207. So for those 'experts,' go search real facts.

"I apologize to my followers and fans that give me strength and criticize me with the intention to help me instead of bringing me down, because I don't want you to think that I'm being rude with you. I'm just tired of listening to lies and false accusations. I don't live in a glass case, I'm not a saint and I never said I was the best. I always did what I love with truth, without overshadowing and lying to anyone. Unfortunately, I can't please everybody because I'm not and I don't wanna be unanimous."

Penick's Analysis: We still haven't seen what if any evidence Silva and his lawyers will present to the commission, but the simple fact is that he failed two drug tests. It wasn't just one instance where there was an outside chance of a contaminated sample or lab error. There were two separate tests where he failed for the same drug, and others were in his system as well. He can argue whatever he'd like, but the test results themselves paint a bad picture for him.
