Chael Sonnen steroids test could result in one year suspension and $2,500 fine

UFC President Dana White wasn't kidding when he said there was no such thing as an automatic rematch.
Chael Sonnen, the little contender that could, may miss out on his second shot at UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva in early 2011 if his suspension from the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) is upheld.
As we reported back on Sept. 19, the mouthy ex-politician was popped for Performance Enhancing Drugs (PED's) in a test administered prior to last month's UFC 117: "Silva vs. Sonnen" title fight at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.
Now the LA Times has revealed that Sonnen's 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 and could land the trash-talking Realtor a one-year ban from the fight game and a $2,500 fine.
Now before we storm the castle with pitchforks and torches, it's important to note that Sonnen has a right to appeal the findings and a final decision regarding his test result has not been made. Still, if history is any indication, the wrestler has a long and uphill battle to clear his name and get back into the thick of things.
At this time, there has still been no comment from either Sonnen or the UFC regarding the CSAC's findings. Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more on this breaking story as it develops.

It could always be worse
$2500 isn’t bad. It is the year suspension that blows.
Now Brock will have to head out to Team Quest to get a piece of Chael instead of in the octagon. Thems the breaks
Man that year is gonna suck...

Sonnen got Sherked..
Add Sonnen to the list of fighters who won’t want to fight in California anymore. After the year is up, he will be all but forgotten. Sad.
Minowaman forever
Yep and after all the shit he talked about Lance
I can’t reiterate this enough. If that All American Olympic Style Ass Hole’s piss test does come back positive. I hope he gets cancer so he can say “Oh well I guess I gave it to myself just like Lance.” And before some of you boo me don’t forget Chael will win his battle with cancer as it is not for a title.

The fine itself isn’t a big deal, but when you factor in the inability fight and make money plus lost sponsorship money it becomes a massive financial hit.

Two people said that the financial ramifications of a failed drug test were inconsequential, while I pointed out the that the financial implications went far beyond the one check he would have to write to the CSAC or NSAC, so shove it.

Heyyyooooooooooo
Everyone and their mother posted “well its not the $2,500 that’s a big deal… its fight money and sponsorship money.” Its pretty obvious Jay. That’s all. Relax.

In this particular case
what is worse is that he had another title shot lined up. Talk about going to the back of the pack? The fact that this guy has chirped practically everyday now for 6 months and is now mysteriously silent speaks volumes to me about how guilty he is in all of this.
Not only does BJ Penn quit on his stool versus guys that are bigger than him...He gets tooled by guys that are SMALLER than him. BJ should just stick to jumping out of pools, not fighting. I shoulda listened to Ulf.
lawyers will put the gag order on you if they are smart.
At this point he is on record talking negatively about PED’s in MANY cases, by opening his mouth now, he could reverse all the public record.

personally i don't see any way he fights for the title after the layoff, he needs at least 2 wins before i beleive he deserves a shot. His performance in the last fight is now erased.

I agree with that Drew! Good point
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

he's british dipshit. whats with the monday morning grammar nazi's?
This is an uncommon (<0.5% as common as earned in the British National Corpus) but entirely acceptable alternative form of the simple past and past participle earned. Still considered to be incorrect by many, who are largely unaware of the historical development of the English language. Other verbs which can be conjugated in this way are: learn (learnt), dream (dreamt), spell (spelt).

if by trashy and gross
you mean “Yes please”. We are on the same page.

lol IDK I just don't like her at all.
I usually don’t like what most guys do. I’m a bit weird that way I guess. I love cute girls bc if you find something cute in a girl, that will never change. A hot girl will not always be hot!!! I adore my girl and think she is the cutest thing in the world!!! I have thought that for over ten years and she gets cuter by the day! Oh and she’s sexy as all hell! lol

and I am in the same boat with my girl. But, sometimes the girls that get you in trouble can be fun too!

Yup
The whole fight, including when he tapped out.
He didn’t win.
"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!" - The Tick
it's how we American's do things these days
There are no losers. Everyone wins. Everyone gets a trophy. He didn’t quit, he felt he had inflicted enough damage and wanted to make sure Anderson felt good to, so he let himself get tapped. They were both winners.
Not only does BJ Penn quit on his stool versus guys that are bigger than him...He gets tooled by guys that are SMALLER than him. BJ should just stick to jumping out of pools, not fighting. I shoulda listened to Ulf.

"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!" - The Tick
Yes he lost
Unless you can now win by being ahead on the scorecards before tapping out in the final round then he lost.

handling this very poorly so far
Sonnen needs to make a statement and try and get out in front of this. Every minute he waits, it looks worse and worse. Sonnen is a master of spin. Let’s see him spin his way out of this one.

Sonnen joins a long list of PED users
Chael, you have joined an elite list of notables. You are now an official member of future steroid users. Barry Bonds….Lance Armstrong…Slammin Sammy Sosa…Ben Johnson are but a few. So take a deep breath and step forward to accept your prize into the fantasy steroid user player pool. You should be receiving a new training bra and before long will out grow this into you very own adult size. Congrads, Chael!!! P.S. Now we know why you went into those frenzied rages just before the Silva fight.
honestly...how many do you think were never caught? Id like to think few, but the answer is probably many...many

good riddance
Chael Sonnen fights go one of two ways: Win by decision or lose by submission. He’s the most boring fighter in MMA. Anyone who’s a Sonnen fan, I DARE you to tell me how he’s exciting, right after you explain why he hasn’t finished an opponent in 3 years. Ship his cheating, teabagging ass off to Strikeforce where he can clown around with Mayhem Miller and Paul Daley.
mayhem is actually a better finisher, and he doesnt allow himself to get beat by sub or KO...mayhem may be a goofy guy, but hes a heck of a fighter

Whose the “fraud” now (alleged)? Does the UFC make the fighters give back part of their purse if they test positive and the decision is upheld? If not it is something to think about. If you forfeit a percentage of your earnings for not making weight (Alves), they should make you give back a percentage of what you earned for cheating.
