Chael Tests Positive, off UFC 175

What a dummy. He tests positive again. There is no reason he shouldn't have disclosed these "fertility drugs" to the commission. And Dana half defending Chael, and then half blaming the NSAC and ESPN just shows what a massive tool he is once again.

I say just let them use what ever they want.

I don't necessarily disagree. But so long as there are these rules and regulations in place these guys can't be this stupid.

Chael has announced his retirement following this latest positive drug test.

Sounds like the first two drugs he took were to treat his actual condition but the third was a masking agent that he admitted taking that did not come up any test. He had to retire for a good reason, he was going to get suspended for probably a year and even if he did come back he would not be able to take TRT then either. Just go become an announcer and make us laugh...sick of Joe Rogoid...er Rogan

I suspect he will attempt a comeback since he still wants to fight Wanderlei and a couple others...the only issue which I don't think has been discussed much is the fact that he has to apply for licensing when he does, and if he can't get licensed in Nevada, he's going to have problems in most places that aren't California or Texas.

Josh Barnett's near inability to fight in Nevada almost crippled his UFC comeback. He almost didn't get licensed for the Travis Browne fight, and I suspect would have been relegated to international Fight Pass events had he not.

A second positive test is announced. This time substances included HGH and EPO, he was freaking blood doping. The UFC and Fox have officially cut ties with him.

I must say whether you think there should be drug testing or not. To catch someone with HGH/EPO in their system is extremely difficult. What Nevada is doing right now is working really well in actually catching guys that are taking currently banned substances.

Sonnen shot himself in the foot, good riddance to bad rubbish

 

[clippers00]

can someone please explain why he was being tested a month after he retired?

 

[BravesFan4Life]

they gave him a second test after he had failed the first one because he was still licensed to fight. he had retired after the first one but he was still licensed in the state of Nevada.
