CSAC suspends Chael Sonnen for one year after testing positive for steroids

Chael_sonnen_5_medium

It's official; however, Sonnen will file an appeal and is expected to plead his case on Dec. 2 in Sacramento.

From the California State Athletic Commission's (CSAC) official press release:

The California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) has suspended the license of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Chael Sonnen, after Sonnen tested positive for steroids, a banned substance.

A sample from Sonnen's August 6 drug test came back with a high T/E (testosterone-to-estrogen) level, which is indicative of anabolic steroid use. CSAC learned of the results September 2 and ordered a second test, which also came back positive for steroid use. CSAC received test results from the second sample on September 14 and suspended Sonnen two days later. He is suspended for one year. Sonnen has 30 days to appeal the decision.

"The use of anabolic steroids and other banned substances are not tolerated by the commission," said CSAC Executive Officer George Dodd . "Anabolic agents put the health and safety of both the user and his opponents at risk." Sonnen's test was observed in the presence of a CSAC representative and the sample was sent to the World Anti-doping Agency test facility at the University of California , Los Angeles on August 6, 2010 for processing.

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 is upheld.

Star-divide

News broke back on Sept. 19 that 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.

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 $2,500 fine in addition to his lengthy suspension.

As the CSAC indicated, his second test also returned positive for steroids.

Sonnen is expected to appear on Thursday night's edition of ESPN's "MMA Live," but I wouldn't expect any new information to be revealed while his appeal is pending.

In the meantime, Vitor Belfort may have benefited the most from this mess now that he's been pulled from his Nov. 13 showdown with Yushin Okami.

Could a title fight with "The Spider" be in his near future?

Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for more on this breaking story as it develops.

If he was sentenced today, and has thirty days to appeal, wouldn’t that make his Dec 2 appeal about 40 days too late?

yes

30 days to appeal, not 30 days to have his hearing. I changed the language to make it more clear, thanks

Something is not quite adding up still....

Sonnen had the same kind of energy and pace when he fought Yushin and Nate and was tested for steroids and passed. Not quite sure what is going on here.

Its obvious that he took something but it is too vague as to what he took.

You can only speculate but my guess would be he cycled off perfectly in those fights. If he did infact take juice for those 2 fights (wich I believe he did) then there is no speculation that’s exactly what happened

by LOKIE on Sep 22, 2010 2:38 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

But to just cycle off that far before the fight wouldn't help him.

Especially since he would have to take something along the lines of HCG to restart his own test, if not he would be way lower than the average man and it would affect him in the cage. Plus they test for HCG.

Sorry I can’t remember out of mmamania’s massive number of stories a day where you posted it, but I saw it many times. I can see its your signature, but coming in and specificaly saying “story up…” is what I’m talking about. The other sites do post news from other sites, but they also get their own shit to. I don’t see any other sites saying “from: mondaymorningblackbelt.com”, because you don’t break news, you just jack it.

“4 posts up?” in this thread or from yesterday? I’m done with you. I have a thing up yesterday that no other site has up thats not an opinion piece, also look at BE, junkie, mania etc, when they give other sites props, it means they got the news somewhere else. What do you think happens, one place puts it up and everyone else follows suit, just like when ESPN has a story like Edwards bagged for DUI, then the local media picks up on it, it’s the same idea. If it’s so simple, do it yourself!

You guys can say what you want, and Kev can act like he doesn’t get that he plugs his shit all over the place on this site. The fact is he plugs he shit site all over mania and he can act like he doesn’t. My comments were towards him not you other guys. His site is not like all others, as, like I said, some of their material is gathered themselves. Kev’s site is just a greatest hits site of all the other sites and thats my opinion. The main point was I was tired of seeing him plug that shit in every story posted, so I told him.

For example:

this is from the Hendo/Babalu fight post on mania:

Strikeforce officials alerted MMAmania.com of the booking earlier today.

Thats what I’m saying, prime example. They just don’t take posts from other sites, they are actually a piece of the mma community.
The same goes for the other mma news sites like junkie and the Leben/Stan fight:

Sources close to the event today alerted MMAjunkie.com

there's no way dana will release him

he’s just made himself a huge name, the biggest villian in ufc. i personally don’t like him but i’ll make sure i watch mma live to see what he says. he’ll keep himself in the public eye through all this with denials and appeals and inerviews, he’s reports on blogs always get a huge amount of comments, everyone is talking about him, waiting to see what report turns up next. he’ll bad mouth fighters so fighters talk about him. over the next 12 months and the conversatons will all be the same “when i come back”

it’ll be turned ino one big countdown to chaels return and we’ll all get suckered into it, whether we want to see him be distroyed in the octagon or have a triumphant return, we’ll all want to see his next fight for our own reasons. i think with his gifts for spin and trash talk his return fight will be a main event fight and one of the bigger ppv’s of the year. there’s no way dana would let that go to strikeforce

Two different situations.

Jon Fitch: Wasnt obeying Dana’s commands and wouldnt sign the contracr, plus he doesnt really make the UFC any money.

Chael Sonnen: Marketable to make HUGE money for the UFC.

Will he still be as marketable after this scandal?

he'll be more marketable

he’s playing the villian role to start with, what’s more dastardly than this? the most hated man in mma right now you have to say. which equals the man you’d most like to see get his ass kicked…or, the man you’d most like to see on a ppv card. now if you’re dana and you make people wait a year to see that ass kicking, and you hype it and build it…that’s a lot of money. you don’t think if he could throw chael on this upcoming card against a real destroyer of a fighter that the ppv buys wouldn’t sky rocket?

by Totomamma on Sep 22, 2010 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah, definitely

and even before that I wanted to see him get his ass handed to him.
It’s just that I have the impression he lost a lot of credibility, just when some opinions bout him started to change. But thinking through your perspective, yeah… it would sell.

he'll just pass all his future tests

but as of right now, he’s gotta be the most talked about fghter. sonnen will create such a media store he’ll be in the mma headlines all through this ban. the sonnen fans will want him to have his chance to redeem himself, the sonnen haters will want him punished. the problem is the haters can’t really punish him themelves, so given the hypothetical option now. would the haters rather see sonnen kicked out of the ufc and go straight to strikeforce, or, be thrown into the octagoin against brock lesnar and publicly humbled. i’m guessing given the choice people would want their revenge via lesnar as they all cheer like in the days of rome when enemies were thrown to he gladiators. not that it would happen with lesnar, but the emotion is there. people on both sides will want to see him fight. before this i would have been happy to never see him fight again, after this, i must say, i’m becoming somewhat of a chael fan. i always liked the bond villians more than james bond

sherk was never ousted when he cheated and he was the belt holder not jut a contender. the difference between sherk and sonen is sherk has no personality, sonnen can use all the attention to further his profile. you say he’s tainted and ruined, i say this is the best thing that could happen to sonnen for his career

Merry Christmas Anderson!

You can keep the belt for another year now.

The real xmas present

Would be Anderson getting to Fight a Chael who isn’t doping and when he isn’t injured and expose him.

If Chael couldn’t beat him in those circumstances good luck on a rematch

my point exactly

before this, sonnen haters wouldn’t want a rematch. now people want to see him get beat and you even want him to fight anderson…he’ll do well of this, just you wait and see

I hate to break it to you...

but nearly every professional fighter at the top level is using some type of performance enhancing drug at some point during their training schedule. The UFC and other organizations do not require or encourage random drug testing throughout a fighters training period. As long as the fighters figure out their cycle correctly, they can use anabolics or HGH during their fight training with enough time to clean out their systmems before they have to administer a piss sample… It is the nature of the beast…

If you’re not using, you’re not trying.

by ScissorSweep on Sep 22, 2010 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

Well

We can neither prove or discredit your assertion, but Chael went out of his way to shit talk others for there alleged PED use, which, regardless of any ‘cheating’ implications, makes him look shitty and hypocritical.

not once but twice...

He was tested twice and was still found positive. Chael Sonnen belongs in the political field. He’s liar, cheater and a thief. Dana should not bring him back. Anyway if he’s was fighting clean he probably would do good anyway. We’ll see Sonnen again but in local shows.

It's called a B sample bro

he didn’t fail 2 tests, they test a “B” sample if he fails just in case the “A” sample was tainted

of course it was tainted...it had pee in it...lol

Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

Sonnen's silence says a lot

He couldn’t stop talking if his life depended on it. Now what? Where is he? If he wasn’t guilty he would have come out with a statement the same hour the CSAC did and been making statements every hour since. But nothing. His silence says more than his big fat mouth ever did.

by Thugjitsu? on Sep 22, 2010 1:44 PM EDT reply actions  

he's going on mma live tomorrow to very publicly talk about it

not that he wont say anything other than he’s been wronged, but yeah.

Dana white just confirmed it on his twitter

That’s a wrap.

I’m glad that’s the best choice.

Oh i just got home from class

Didn’t see Dana’s tweet just Vitor’s

by Master_Bele on Sep 22, 2010 1:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

sounds a bit to coincedental to me

vitor didn’t want to go to germany, chael get busted, vitor gets injured…title shot! good for me as i want to see vitor v anderson as soon as possible. bad for the germans who bought their tickets wanting to see vitor. i’d never pay top dollar to see a nate main event

by Totomamma on Sep 22, 2010 2:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

is this why Vitor is hurt out of left field now?

This will get ugly I guarantee. Sonnen has political experience and apparently doesn’t know when to shut up. I envision outrageous statements and lawsuits.

Let Sonnen taste the one-year hell. Now it’s Anderson vs Belfort. By Chael for a while.

All i can do i laugh at Chael for this seriously, all the smack he talked.

I have no sympathy for him he dug his own grave.
