Chael Sonnen steroids suspension upheld, but CSAC reduces term to six months following Dec. 2 appeal

The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) today (Dec. 2) upheld the steroids suspension handed down to Chael Sonnen after the former UFC middleweight number one contender was popped for Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED's) in a test administered prior to last August's UFC 117: "Silva vs. Sonnen" title fight at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.
Sonnen was originally slapped with a one-year suspension plus a $2,500 fine after his pre-fight drug test, obtained from a urine sample that was processed through the UCLA Olympic drug-testing lab, returned a positive result for steroids on both his first and second samples.
Today the commission reduced that term to six months by a vote of 3-1 but upheld the original monetary fine.
The crux of Sonnen's defense was his Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT), which is not uncommon for athletes his age and with his competitive background; however, the mouthy ex-Realtor failed to follow the proper protocol for clearing his TRT therapy prior to the event.
The suspension cost Sonnen his rematch with UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, who now faces Vitor Belfort at UFC 126 on Feb. 5 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
With both Belfort and Yushin Okami getting first dibs on the 185-pound championship, it's hard to imagine Sonnen walking right back into the title hunt upon his Spring 2011 return. In fact, there's no telling what the UFC has in store for him with their recent roster cuts.
Time will tell.
In the meantime, what is your take on the ruling? Did Sonnen get a raw deal? Or was he lucky to walk away with a six month reduction?
Sound off, Maniacs.

Hell, if Vitor wins we could see a rematch between the 2 soon, just not for the belt

count on it!
After the snoozer Okami and Marquardt put on, Dana is thanking his lucky stars that Sonnen is back in time to save him from having to keep that promise. No way in hell Dana passes up the opportunity for a Sonnen/Silva rematch. With the heat of the first fight and Sonnen’s marketing gifts, that shit will sell out faster than a Hanna Montana concert. The only people that want to see Okami/Silva are:
1) Anderson
2) Ed Soares
3) Silva’s nuthugging fanboys
4) Yushin’s bitter ex-girlfriend

LOL "Yushin's bitter ex-girlfriend."
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
Nuthugging fanboys?
I mean this thing is suppose to be a sport. If you want storylines and drama, maybe pro wrestling might be for you. As far as Okami’s title shot – it should not have anything to do with whether he has no shot in hell of winning chance or whether it’s interesting. It should happen because he fought high level opposition to earn the #1 contender spot. If people want this sport to be taken seriously, it needs to work like one. I personally think MMA’s always going to be a fringe bush league type of sidenote to sports in general mainly because no one wants to leave this mentality behind. (You may now go ahead and call me a Yushin or Silva nuthugger or some sort of hater.)

OK
You Yushin or Silva nuthugger or some sort of hater!!!
No really, I agree. If someone keeps winning, even if it’s boring and they beat everyone they need to in order to get a shot at the title then they should get that shot.
Dosen’t mean I’ll pay for the PPV if it isn’t stacked. Maybe Dana should put it on Spike and call it his “making up to the fans like I promised” card. Put a few interesting up and comers on there too and you’ve covered your bases
GREAT POST NNR!
This is why the UFC NEEDS a ranking system! But I doubt that will ever happen bc than Dana and company would have a harder time justifying some of their matchmaking. Dana wants this to be a legit sport than he needs to treat it like one!!!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
we're talking about who's first in line
not whether Okami deserves a shot, but whether he or Chael has earned first crack at it. No matter how you look at it, marketability, potential threat, recent accomplishments…any way you stack it, Chael comes out ahead of Yushin. In addition to his marketabiliity and his recent unprecedented success against Silva, Chael recently completely dominated Okami and dominated the guy Okami just barely beat to get a place in line. Everything Yushin has done/can do, Chael has done/can do better. I don’t see a single angle from which you could argue that Yushin should jump ahead of Chael in the pecking order.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
he lost decisively.
Subbed just like all the major fights of his life. He will most likely end up in a triangle again. However with Okami, you know he’s not getting subbed. He might get lamped standing but on the mat from top, he can grind and outwork andy without question if he can it there. The difference between Chael and Okami is that Chael has stronger and more dynamic takedowns, Okami on the other hand is a more complete grappler and will not get subbed. But the point of my previous post is that marketability and potential to win should have nothing to do with whether someone gets a shot. He got his shot. lost so now it’s back of the line and wait for you turn just like every sport. The fact that Chael lost means that he should be anywhere close to first in line. He might second because i don’t buy Vitor as a contender and Marqy lost but not before Okami.

yeah id like to see how Anderson would approach his 2nd fight next with chael.
given that silva was injures & chael was using steroids, but nevertheless the outcome would have went more or less the same.
chael is the antithesis of silva, and has lay the blue print of beating Anderson.
let vitor fight okami for the title.
if vitor wins over silva, and thats a BIG if.
The thing about Silva and I know this was a while ago is that
We thought Travis Lutter had the answer for him as well.

I don't see Cheal winning in a rematch with Silva...
his best chance was the first time around with Silva injured but he couldn’t pull out of the fight cause of the hype and cause of his actions in the fight before. You could tell he was off when Chael caught him with some strikes and even looked low off of his back plus with Chael roided on top of that. Silva at 100% vs a non cheating Chael I can see him only getting finished sooner but this time Silva would embarrass him. Let’s not forget who Silva is and what he’s done haters. He’s embarrassed better fighters than Chael time and time again.
An injured Anderson Silva managed to finish a roided Chael Sonnen but GSP can't finish a natural WW who isn't an MMA dinosaur and won't take a fight at an above weight class. Let's not kid ourselves about who the P4P best is!

people aren't booing GSP out of the arena
They are Silva. GSP is winning new fans almost as fast as Silva is losing them.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Cause he's not taunting but they still are board of his fights...
don’t kid yourself by trying to say different. Of Course he’s not gonna get boo’d but Silva makes up for it cause he’s finished more people in his title defenses and take fights in above weight classes which GSP won’t do. He can’t even finish a natural welterweight!

WRONG
the guys GSP isn’t finishing, guys like Alves and Hardy, are WAY bigger than GSP. Whereas Silva is bigger than most LHWs, let alone all the MWs he’s fought. Silva gets no extra credit for fighting at 205 when he walks around at 225-230. In fact he gets bitch deductions for fighting most of his career against 185ers instead of manning up to fight Shogun, Rashad, Rampage, etc…all of whom are still smaller than Silva.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Actually no...
Silva is NOT bigger than most LHW’s… Forrest was WAY bigger but that didn’t stop him from destroying him in a way top LHWs couldn’t even do. EVERY fighter that destroys in an above weight class get all teh extra credit in the world and you’re the only person who I’ve ever heard claim this while far more credible opinions than ours give credit to him so you’re WRONG there. The one thing fighters are divided up by are weight classes so it tells a ton about guys who can do so. Carlos isn’t bigger than GSP and he KO’d Hardy in the 1st so stop sticking up for the guy. Are you also trying to say that GSP can make LW since you claim he’s such a small WW? lol

I don't know anything about Pacman
or how much he normally weighs, but given that boxing weight classes are rediculously narrow, I wouldn’t give a guy much credit for fighting someone 6 or 7 lbs bigger.
I find it irritating that people talk about Silva doing something amazing by fighting at LHW. Granted, Forrest is an enormous LHW, and is actually bigger than Silva, but no more so than Hardy was over GSP. Silva has fought 2 handpicked LHWs, one can and one big name who was stylistically tailor-made for him. I said that as soon as they announced Silva/Griffin, not just after the fact. Griffin was the one big-name LHW who posed absolutely no threat to Silva because he has exactly the same set of tools but with half the speed and power. It was obvious before the fight that Forrest knew he was being used as fodder.
Anyway, my point is that GSP fights in a very competative division where most of the top contenders are bigger than him, yet he gets called a coward for not “moving up”. Silva on the other hand is the same size as Fedor and is bigger than 3 of the top 4 LHWs yet only fights 2 fights at that weight and is praised for it. People scream for GSP to move up and fight Silva when they should be screaming for Silva to man up and fight Shogun!
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Also, Silva moves up 20lbs. GSP would only have to move up 15lbs and still can't.
Silva isn’t afraid of a challenge and actually welcomes it whereas GSP wants to play it safe and just get the W.
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL

1) GSP has taken on ALL challengers and has never complained about it, tried to dictate who should get a title shot, or claimed that any of his opponents didn’t deserve the right to fight for his belt. Silva has done all those things nearly every time the UFC has asked him to fight a top-ranked challenger.
2) LHW isn’t “moving up 20 lbs” for Silva, it’s cutting 20 lbs less. He still has a size advantage against most top LHWs.
3) Do you really think GSP couldn’t find two handpicked MWs that he could make quick work of like Silva did at LHW? PLEASE! There are more tough guys at WW than MW. Hardy and Alves are bigger than half the MW guys. The only guys at MW who would present a serious challenge to GSP are Silva, Vitor, and Sonnen, and Silva & Sonnen are both HUGE for MWs.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
You're way off base here Oswald
There’s no way a real MMA fan is “bored” with GSP fights..are you kidding with that??? Just because all of his fights don’t end in a sub or a KO, the dude is so talented, and you don’t see him get on his bicycle and run, like we’ve seen several times from Silva. You can’t compare the two. Look at the GSP vs Fitch fight….that fight went the distance, and was one of the most entertaining fights I can remember seeing. Anyone bored with GSP fights should go back to watching the old tough-man competitions…

LAME
GSP tries to finish fights and fights a style so he can win. He will… You know what I am going to stop typing because there is no convincing some people. They think MMA should be a bunch of Kimbos. If you do not like GSPs way of being a martial artist and winning and just want stand up and bang un-technical street fighting go watch fist fucking Kimbo! He is the anti-GSP in fighting style. So if you have such a huge issue with GSP you would probably like his opposite.

Not saying he isn't a good poster boy but...
it goes beyond just fighting and doesn’t make him the P4P best just because he is a… not the but one of the poster boys. Plus Silva and Shogun don’t speak very good english. GSP’s isn’t perfect either but far better than theirs.

agreed 100% OJR
GSP personifies everything that is good about this sport.
Silva is the opposite. Arrogant, Diva-ish, and cowardly.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Arrogant - yes. Diva - yes. Coward - I don't ever use that term for a person who fights for a living. Just not applicable.
"Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty. Only enemies speak the truth.

Anderson fights for a living?
I would have guessed he was a professional dancer…or maybe a circus clown.
I call him cowardly because he’s the only fighter I know of in the UFC who tries to dictate his own matchmaking, and every time they ask him to fight a legit TOP 3 guy he has a laundry list of reasons why they don’t deserve a title shot. But then he never complains when he gets a low-mid level opponent like Cote, Leites, or Irvin.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
I do agree that he should fight top tier guys at 205. His ego does get in the way of these possible match ups.

He calls out irrellevant people like Roy Jones Junior and Frank Mir, but then says he shouldn’t have to fight Vitor because Vitor beatFranklin at 195 instead of 185. Nevermind that Silva got his title shot after his very first UFC fight, against mid-level Chris Leben. But then when a former UFC Champion returns to the octogon and beats the man Silva took the belt from, that guy doesn’t deserve a title shot! What a whiney little bitch!
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Silva is fighting Vitor so how can you say that?
And I have read on hear by a lot of posters that Vitor shouldn’t get a title shot without fighting at least one fight at 185. Kinda makes sense and isn’t fair to the guys who have been winning at 185, like Okami! And Silva a coward? LMAO But GSP not moving up to fight him isn’t “cowardly?” I agree with OJR that you can’t call a professional fighter cowardly, esp Anderson!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
MBOW how can you compare
the cowardice of Silva trying to wiggle out of fighting all the top challengers to his own belt (not to mention the top guys his own size at LHW) with GSP not wanting to fight a guy 30 lbs bigger than him? That’s just asinine!
As for Vitor, Silva/Soares tried numerous times to get out of that fight, claiiming Vitor didn’t deserve it. Silva gets a title shot after 1 fight against Leben, but Vitor finishes off the former MW champ in under 3 minutes and doesn’t deserve a shot? Rediculous! What the hell difference does it make that Franklin was 195? Vitor is on a 5 fight win streak with 4 KOs and a win over the previous MW champ. Okami got his ass kicked by Franklin and Sonnen.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Mir is irrellevant to Silva
Mir was 265 when Silva called him out, and not a champ, a legend, or even ranked in the TOP 5…So why would Silva call out Mir??? Answer: to take attention away from his ducking Hendo, Nate, and Vitor.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
His fights aren’t the issue. GSP has become the face of MMA. He is incredibly popular and with Lesnar’s defeat he is the biggest draw in the sport. He also is the most well-known fighter out there in the mainstream right now. Hate him all you like, but trying to deny facts transforms hate into insanity.

Silva would finish Sonnen even faster without his rib injury and without Chael’s needed a roid boost. Silva defeated him with 2 huge strikes against him so what makes you think Silva won’t beat Chael even sooner in the rematch? Plus I think Silva would take him more serious and destroy him.

You have the same view on Silva/Sonnen as I do.
Personally, I’d like to see Sonnen fight W. Silva, and Okami take on Silva for the belt. Anderson needs to show everyone that he would have handled Yushin, had he not been dq’d.

Are you serious? A.S.S. was clearly out fought, didn’t know what to do with Chael cause he wasn’t like any of the other fighters he fought previous. That’s frik’n clear as crystal, and as for roids?? Seriously, I see guys downing Red Bulls before softball games…..I guess they’re cheating…..we should start committees to test if guys have to much sugar rush before a game cause the non RB drinkers are so dis-advantaged….. give me a break….somebody’s got your number or they don’t.

Silva was not "out fought" let alone clearly.
Last time I checked steroids were a “performance enhancing drug” and are illegal for a good reason. Plus with Silva’s rib injury he clearly couldn’t move like he wanted to which involves juking. Makes no sense that Anderson has not only beat but toyed with better strikers than Chael. Roids would also effect Chael’s punching power and noticed that Silva still didn’t respect it when he kept his hands down and was taking punches. After the fight I didn’t see a mark on Silva’s face… can’t say the same about Chael’s. A rematch wouldn’t be a good night for Cap Steroid imo.

Let me point out something. He couldn’t do what he normally does, because it wasn’t working on the dominant fighter he was up against. A.S.S. did try his regular crap, you just didn’t see much cause he didn’t get much chance to do it.

I agree...
Silva is not the type of fighter to “pull out” a win… he dominates and destroys when he’s not toying around or fighting a guy who won’t go for him but I can’t agree with what you said earlier. Even though Silva won I def wasn’t happy with everything but there were several things going against him in that fight and he still pulled it off at the end.

Silva haters are fn funny! Amazing that you can pick apart the best fighter of our time!
How many fights has he won in the UFC now? And how many losses?
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
and how many opponents his own size…and how many legitimate contenders?
In my opinon, the only fights that Silva deserves credit for are Franklin, Hendo, and Forrest. The rest were him being an ass-hat against low-mid level guys who had no business being in there with him to begin with. Sure he seems like a great fighter when he spent 90% of his career dominating the weakest division in the sport against guys 30 lbs smaller than him. But until he really steps up and proves himself against the top guys his own size (Shogun, Machida, Rampage, Rashad, etc) he doesn’t deserve to mentioned in P4P discussions.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Amazing how you hate a guy for cutting weight (WHICH THEY ALL DO!!!!)
Bottom line is he still doesn’t lose. GSP got beat by Serra who use to fight at 155! lol And when Silva goes up to 205 he makes them look silly! Look at what Forrest did to Page. Silva made Forrest look like a beginner. He was toying with him and having fun. Page got beat on for 5 rounds and looked lost. Give me a fighter that doesn’t cut weight. Never mind, I know you can’t!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL
very very few can cut as much weight as Silva
and the whole point of this thing is debating who’s really avoiding serious challenges. GSP has never avoided anyone. Silva has a list a mile long of guys he’s either refused to fight or tried to wiggle out of. Right now, Shogun says he will fight Silva, but Silva say’s “No Way!” He says Chael and Vitor don’t deserve shots. He wiggled out of having to fight Hendo and Nate when they were the top contenders.
GSP has never behaved like that.
And to set the record straight, I’m not hating on Silva for cutting weight, I’m hating on him because people act like he’s a hero and a god for going up to fight guys his own size TWICE in his career.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
silva shouldnt have taken the fight if his rib was injured
enough of that bullshit. thats his own problem for being dumb enough to take a champioship fight with cracked ribs
Right. Because Red Bull and anabolic steroids are like, totally the same thing. And when you’re a wrestler that relies on brute strength to drag your opponent to the ground, that’s not an advantage at all.

Chael will already have his training crew on him about everyone thinking he can’t do it cause of the “Steroids”, so he will be even more determinded than the last fight, number one. AND, we all know that A.S.S. will try and be different somehow, and the Sonnen camp will be well prepared for a “different” Anderson.

Anderson did have a injury, who knows how much that played a part, but he sure didn’t look like the Anderson we’ve seen in other outings.
Also when you say ‘again’ like somehow Anderson cheated Chael out of his hard earned win; Sonnen lost, well I’d like to say ‘fair and square’, but really he didn’t even lose legitimately.

That’s exactly what I’ve been saying. Sure it’s possible but unlikely. Silva as champ is more exciting from a fighting view anyways. We don’t need to see another champ lay on people for 5 rounds. We already have GSP for that.
An injured Anderson Silva managed to finish a roided Chael Sonnen but GSP can't finish a natural WW who isn't an MMA dinosaur and won't take a fight at an above weight class. Let's not kid ourselves about who the P4P best is!
chaels ground and pound is pretty exciting to me. I personally loved how he busted nate the great up, but thats just me
Sonnen’s face looked worse than Nate’s after that fight IIRC.

Yup. He chose to make himself into a soundbite clown before the Silva fight. Good for him, he hyped the fight. But now hes the one getting clowned, and he’ll forever look like a cheater and an asshole for it, especially when he accused Lance Armstrong of being juiced and then denied making the comments and attributed them to a minority.

Maybe because I read Kev's first and the tone of the two is so different.
Kev’s thrust seemed to be, "Sonnen’s sentence was reduced because he had a legit medical reason for what he was using and was being punished for not following proper procedure, not for what he took.
Jesse’s thrust seems to be “Sonnen is still a cheater, but they’re gonna cut him some slack.” Notice the emphasis on PEDs and failed tests in the body and the headline emphasized the suspension being upheld rather, where Kev’s headline emphasizes that it was reduced.
I guess how you judge the write-ups depends on where your bias lies as a fan. If you’re anti-Sonnen, Jesse’s write-up will seem like straight facts to you. If you pro-Sonnen, Kev’s seems like straight facts and Jesse’s seems bitter and accusatory. Both are constructed of facts, but WHICH facts they tell and emphasize are very different.

Actually, this article cuts Sonnen some serious slack.
It neglects to mention that TRT doesn’t account for Sonnen’s testosterone levels being six times the normal amount, which basically makes his entire defence complete bullshit.
TRT is supposed to bring hormone levels back to normal, or maybe slightly above that. The only way to get levels like Sonnen had is through the use of anabolic steroids.

You guys are better than me. If I was OJR in charge it would be booty pics, MMA, top 10 comic books, sci fi movies and no Kimbo Slice fans allowed. Brock fans would be allowed because we would have to make fun of somebody.

If you knew how to read complete sentences you could check the initial testing reports yourself. It makes you really angry doesn’t it, that your favourite fighters are established cheaters. I’m sorry you are so angry for absolutely no reason.
And being Canadian isn’t something to be ashamed of, kid. Posting pictures of women being beaten like it’s funny is. You cowardly little shitstain.

Says the dipshit who roots for the cheater because of blind hate of another fighter.
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Mr. Wretch is a very angry boy. I find it’s best to just ignore him, so he goes back to posting pictures of women with guns in their mouths, which Jesse then has to delete. He’s a really special kid.
