Sonnen goes from steroid suspension directly to TUF coach?

Well in his defense the CSAC did declare his Testosterone Levels were in fact normal so he had no competitive advantage. That's why his suspension was reduced to 6 months. He still didn't tell or notify anyone that he was getting injects for low T levels though. So that's why he suspension was still upheld.

This would be pretty awesome even though I think the fight would be totally one-sided in Chael's favor

If his testosterone levels were normal then what did he test positive for?

Except the CSAC several times in writing which were approved, and George Dodd himself. And also the UFC as well. Other than that, ya he didn't notify anyone.

According to George Dodd yesterday the test returned a result for "exogenous" testosterone. Not elevated testosterone. Not that an elevated test in this instance under these circumstances proves a lick anyway.


I believe in Chael Sonnen.

I agree 100% Wolf. I am just telling captain what the CSAC's view was.

Precedent ; Sean Sherk, Tim Sylvia who both actually lost active titles due to failed tests and immediately returned for title fights upon completion of sentence.

Wand will come to Brazil's rescue.

Sonnen already starting -

Wand, you might as well fill out your own toe tag. Where is says "Cause of death," just write, "I pissed off a Gangster.

This fight pisses me off. Chael and Wandy are two of my favorite fighters. I don't want them to fight at all.

Oh man this is going to be glorious.

This fight has a fairytale story written all over it, Wand will knockout the steroid villain.

He isn't a steroid villain.

So freak can stop not ranking Sonnen in his rankings.

Good fight. I think Wanderlei has a decent shot if it happens...it will put Wanderlei's BJJ status to the test for the first time in a long time...and anybody with above average submission skills has a legitimate shot to beat Chael Sonnen. That's it though. Sonnen has not been TKO'd in 6 or 7 years and i think he's might of lost one decision back in his early year. You pretty much have to tap him out but since the fight is always on the mat with Sonnen..there is always oppurtunity to lock something in, thats why i never wrote off Spider in that 5th round.

Sonnen wins this fight easily by taking Wand down with ease and controlling him for a UD.

Why did this get moved here?

This is front page news.

Methadone aint smack! TRT isn't roiding!

TRT shouldn't be allowed. If your body can't produce enough of it by itself then you shouldn't be allowed to take steroids to make up for it.

Problem is Chael isn't the only guy like him on the stuff. Couture, Dan Henderson, Cain Velasquez I read somewhere(not sure if Cain is for sure though) are all on this treatment because the deficiency stems from repeated weight cutting.

Honestly if he has filed paperwork documenting this treatment before then there shouldn't be an issue. A reduced sentence is about the best thing that could have happened for Chael. 6 months from his last fight is about the time he would have had between fights anyway. Kind of sucks they are feeding Wanderlei to him though. I just don't think the Axe Murderer can stuff Chael's shot or scramble up to his feet for long enough to do the amount of damage he'd need to do to win.

If it's because of them cutting weight then that's their fault and they shouldn't be allowed to take it paperwork or not.

They wouldn't be cleared to fight if the levels weren't sufficient. Not to mention having low levels of testosterone can greatly effect performance. Imagine having to run a marathon without the proper amount of carbohydrates and electrolytes.

That's the fighters problem. Don't cut weight then. Rules should be the same for everyone.
