Nate Marquardt announcement on failed medical exam, UFC release expected today at 1 pm ET

Why was Nate Marquardt hastily released from the UFC after failing his pre-fight medical exam on the eve of UFC on Versus 4 last weekend in Pittsburgh?
And why was promotion president Dana White "disgusted" by what transpired?
Those questions were answered earlier today (June 28) when the former middleweight number one contender broke his silence on The MMA Hour over his messy break-up with the UFC.
What happened, when it happened and why it happened, after the jump.
Nostradumbass here. Nate's in the house. Okay, here we go.
--Nate Marquardt is on the MMA Hour with his manager Lex McMahon. He was not medically cleared to fight at UFC on Versus 4 after failing a pre-fight blood test resulting from his Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT).
--He began treatment using the "therapeutic use exemption" in his fight against Dan Miller at UFC 128 in New Jersey after his primary physician diagnosed him with low testosterone in August of 2010.
--Nate was advised by his doctor to pursue a new, "more aggressive therapy" three weeks out from his fight against Rick Story. He took a blood test two weeks out from the fight and the levels came back too high. His doctor then told him to get off the treatment.
--McMahon notes Nate came off treatment as soon as he was advised to.
--Marquardt admits he "made a mistake" by not requesting an earlier blood test to check his levels. The test he took on the day of the UFC on Versus 4 weigh ins (June 25) was above the allowed limit by the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission (PAC).
--McMahon asserts Nate was not hiding anything and in constant communication with the UFC and was "caught in a difficult situation" due to the time constraints.
--Marquardt says his blood levels have returned to normal and expects to have his suspension lifted after a board meeting with the PAC later this week. He still does not have an answer as to why he suffers from low testosterone and McMahon interjects that it's not Nate's responsibility to know, it's the doctor's.
--An emotional Nate says he will take responsibility for "messing up" the UFC on Versus 4 main event.
--McMahon calls Marquardt a great man and a great fighter. Nate says he would never knowingly jeopardize his ability to provide for his family.
--Marquardt refers to the banned substance he was using in 2005 (Andro) that caused his previous suspension with the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) and hopes the "several years" he took the then-over the counter supplement is not to blame for his low testosterone.
--Nate says he was on TRT for his fight against Yushin Okami (UFC 122) and Rousimar Palhares (UFC Fight Night 22) with no issues but his levels were too high for this fight.
--Marquardt cannot reveal the levels of his blood on the day he failed his test until his suspension is lifted with the PAC. McMahon asserts Nate's blood levels were within range on the day of the fight.
--McMahon says they have nothing to hide.
--Marquardt took the TRT in pill form but switched to injections prior to the Story fight. It boosted function in his pituitary gland and testicles.
--McMahon says they are already seeking out a specialist to help with his low testosterone.
--Marquardt says the weight cut had nothing to do with his decision to resume TRT but believes it could have altered his blood levels, causing the levels to be elevated on the day of the weigh ins (blood "concentration") and significantly decreased the very next day.
--Nate talked to Dana after the shit hit the fan and while it wasn't said right away, he had the feeling he was done. Says he knew he messed up and that it was "real bad." McMahon says they didn't know Nate was fired until he saw it on Twitter.
--Marquardt still wants to fight at 170 and will not yet commit to fighting for another promotion. Wants to "let the dust settle." Calls it a "nightmare" but trusts his faith in God and is grateful for the support from his wife. Hints at trying to get back into the UFC at some point down the road.
--McMahon said they were tight-lipped over the situation to protect Marquardt and were hiding nothing.
--Nate gives one last emotional apology to his family and fans for "letting them down." Says he's "trying his best" and seeks forgiveness.
That's a wrap, Maniacs.
So there you have it. Now it's time to dissect this information and move forward. How about it Maniacs, did the punishment fit the crime? What's your take on this new information?
The floor is yours.

I hope so, but I doubt it.
Athletes on this level have plenty of help with covering the simple things, or at least they should. Simple items missed are for Organizations below even Shark and Shine.
While I am not a Nate fan, I hope it is not a long-term permanent medical issue.
Last of the hopeless fools
If it were a permanent issue than there would have been no reason to have it taken care of before the fight, right?
If it were Hep C or something he would have been pulled 6 weeks ago. But he was told he had time to ‘take care of it’ and the way Dana was talking about he should be embarrassed he didn’t. That’s why it had me thinking it was some titer or booster or something along those lines. Something as a professional (with plenty of handlers) at his level, headlining a show w/ 10 hours of programming leading up to it…he had no business missing. We shall see.

That makes sense D
if it is a simple technicality, the backlash will be tremendously against him.
Last of the hopeless fools
i think it's mono
it is curable or at least treatable in 6 weeks and is highly contagious, so i can see if they wouldn’t allow him to compete that way. Swine flue or bird flue would have killed him in a matter of six weeks, so that can’t be it. Neither hiv nor aids sound posible since they wouldn’t even grant him a license that way. Pretty much any other illness would have taken care of itself in that time frame or killed him in the process, thus mono

it's much more impressive to control a guy like fitch for 5 rounds than it is to beat leites in any fashion. The quality of opposition tells a story as well.
He has ass herpes, and the manner in which he contracted it is what disgusted Dana.

It's not going to be something awful.
I think the reason DW reacted the way he did was that Nate knew about this for six weeks and didn’t make the UFC aware until Thursday. It’s something that he probably should have been able to, or thought he’d be able to, clear up, but by not telling the UFC about what was going on, they had few options to make arrangements. If Dana knew 3 or 4 weeks out and Nate was having trouble getting it cleared up, Dana probably would have either helped him or said we’ll pull you off the card and figure something out. At least there would have been time to work it, rather than blow up the main event right before weigh-ins.

I really doubt its some kind of virus or disease or something.
Dana sounded utterly pissed. I would think the head of a major business like this would choose his words more carefully about a fan favorite who is simply sick. The things Dana said, Nate could have utterly embarrassed Dana if he came right out and said, “Yeah I got sick with ________, and thought I would be healthy in time, I wasn’t. And now he’s treating me like some kind of leper and firing me.”
Just going off of Dana’s tone, it sounds to me Nate cheated somehow and got caught. Fighters get sick all the time before fights, fighters have injuries they they to sneak past the medical board. None have ever been fired to my knowledge. Especially a high ranked fighter like Marquardt.
by jestermarcus on Jun 28, 2011 10:56 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
Yup, it's like Nate raped DW's mom or something the way he went off on him.
I’m thinking Nate’s press release is not going to fully cover whatever the issue was either. The excuse will be vanilla and cyptic IMO.
Exactly
You don’t go off on somebody like that if they have a disease. Especially repeatedly using the word “disgusted” about them. No, despite Dana’s usual antics, he has more tact than to talk like that about a fan favorite who is legitimately sick. This is something else I believe. If not, if Nate really is sick, I will be upset that he tried to hide it, but also upset about Dana’s BS about manning up and telling the world about your personal medical issues.

If you dumped a ton of money into advertising the event, planned a whole Nate marathon the day of the event, built the whole event around a guy coming down in weight, and then find that your fighter hid a potentially disastrous medical issue, which jeopardized your investment(s)—— Dana’s reaction makes a lot of sense.

Ya I'd go off on him too; because he had six weeks to tell the commission he had something and then stalled until 5 hours before the fight.

I have no problem with an in house suspension.
But turning this into a giant fiasco like this and firing the guy from the one promotion that owns the two biggest leagues over a virus just doesn’t add up to me. Maybe I’m wrong, we will know soon enough.
by jestermarcus on Jun 28, 2011 12:35 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
The thing is, it appears everybody knew about this already.
Maybe not to the full extent. And please that "Marathon"barely showed Nate even after they announced it would go on regardless if he was fighting or not.
Biggest clue for me, is Dana basically saying Nate should man up and come clean and tell the fans he has a serious disease? Doesn’t make a whole lotta sense to me. I just don’t se Dana being such a dick over a fighter being sick when Chael and others have done much worse for the sports reputation.

You don’t think it cost them anything to air that programming? You don’t think him waiting until the last minute to tell his boss he may not be able to fight didn’t have a lot to do with this?

You dont think there have been others that have had similar issues?
All I’m saying is a virus or disease just doesn’t fit for me. I think he admitted to taking something before and they wanted a good reason why he took it and he couldn’t provide one. If it was a contagious virus I’d think we would have heard something from the camp already as they may be infected as well.

He removed his penis and testicles to make weight. However, he didn’t realize that by doing that he no longer qualifies for Men’s MMA
I just hope its something worth hearing about
it would be a shame if he got for something stupid. i hope it something no one expected+

If you get bored enough or care go read my long post in the other nate thread about how rampant this TRT stuff is…..with fighters who obviously do not need it. It’s just a loophole to legally cheat. Dana has been worried about something happening to blow the doors off and bring media attention to the trt issue and was why he suspended Sonnen tbh, not over his federal stuff it’s because he fucked up and brought attention to this trt programs all these fighters are using….same reason Todd Dufee was released so quickly he is on TRT. The ufc is fighting hard to legitimize MMA and this could set it back super big time. I’m shocked the MMA media has not been talking about why so many fighters are on TRT already……they will soon enough.
I have heard that he is but of course no proof…..but yeah his name has been linked to TRT also. Randy C I have heard mentioned too. Those are two guys maybe old enough to require TRT tbf though.
Modusopks
i agree with your theory, but just one thing doesn’t fit. if DW doesn’t want the media covering TRT, why did he challenge Nate to come clean, thus calling even more attention to the issue?
Come clean or come up with some good excuses as to prevent this from becoming the massive story that it has? He was the one behind Nate coming on the mma hour and I have also heard that he’s been in touch with Nate about things he should say and what he should not say on this show.
Good stuff Modusopks

They are no spring chickens….lol….guys like Todd D or Nate M look like freaking superheros no way they have low test. There are all kinds of ways you can flat out cheat those tests and the guidelines for who has low test is able to be read by a doc in so many ways that a crooked doc can justify putting you on test for any number of nonsensical reasons.
aside from all that though, he still tested way high so he was obviously taking way more than he should or using some kind of other test boosting substances….or he did not need to be on trt to begin with.
LOL @ he was close Nate is lying through his teeth right now.
going to be another baseball scandal by the time MSM catches wind
This might be why Barnett still refuses to admit wrong doing, “hey everyone else is on the sauce”
I’ve also been told that this “endocrinologist” is all bullshit….he was seeing a fertility doc and the commission made him go see an endocrinologist because they suspected his reasoning for getting on TRT were bogus….and the this doctor then upped his treatment and the commission did not like the idea because that is like thumbing the nose at them tbh.
Yeah that is why he tested over even after they questioned his usage of trt…..that is a big fuck you to them obviously. It sounds like they were still going to let him fight til he tested over, but you have to take all this coming out of Nate’s mouth with a grain of salt imo….he is prob embellishing or out right lying about much of this.
i still don't get why he would be released from the ufc..

Well, Marquardt has already...
Been implicated once for steroids.
And the argument COULD be made that Sonnen didn’t know any better. Obviously, after his case was brought to life, it would be insanely stupid for any fighter not to disclose any replacement therapy that could jeopardize them being cleared.

Read my above post, TRT is a big time secret that Dana nor the ufc wants getting media attention…..same reason why Todd dufee got dropped and why they put Sonnen on suspension so quickly. How many other fighters that got dui’s or ran from cops while getting a dui that were not put on suspension….come on it doesn’t take a genius to see what is going on.
well there was rumor of him being on something to that effect.
Then using the am old as hell excuse for it. pfff, people need to get real and realize that Roids are rampant in MMA to the point that the whole elitist attitude of clean and fair fighting bs is nothing but a circle jerk of a joke. If you’re not on something then realize that you’re if not always most of the time at a disadvantage.

Yeah steroids is very prevalent in the MMA scene….very very prevalent. I’m just speaking on the TRT stuff and how it’s going to blow up that many fighters are using this to justify boosting their test levels. I’m not saying that many fighters are not using steroids I’m just speaking on how this is MMA and more specifically the UFC’s big secret.
Maybe the MMA media will open their eyes about this now.
they'll just use the training excuse
which is kinda valid, we train extremely hard and our bodies as a result of overtraining will produce less test so we need TRT to bring the levels back up to normal
yeah their trying to hide a huge TRT scandle?

Dude...
Chael was after the fight, Nate had six week before the fight to make it right. At least Chael had the opportunity to “Play dumb” and the fans weren’t robbed of his excellent fight with Anderson Silva.
I get what you are saying but the two cases aren’t exactly the same. And Dana did suspend Chael albeit for his legal stuff, but he would say that he had “a lot going on with the AC and the legal stuff”
This is NATE 2nd F Up with substance, the first was with Salavarry.

It makes for a better sport and stops wasting everyone time. As far as marqy marq – nandrolone wasnt working so he hops over to the therapy. Very weird how all these athletes all have low testosterone and need aggressive treatment only prior to their bouts. So pal, bellator and DREAM for you from now on.

LOL @ he was close Nate is lying through his teeth right now.
I’ve heard he tested way way high. If it were a low level then why would he not release it? The commission would not give two shits about him talking about his reasons for getting suspended, he is just trying his best to sugar coat this whole situation.
What's up with the timeline here?
Smells foul. TRT seems like a loophole for cheating. Nate seems like a cool guy in person, but this just seems like something really close to cheating. I re-watched the whole event last night. Best event ever???
Getting pretty tired of the Dana White spin…
Analysis so far: Fighters are continuing to try and find competitive advantages at the risk of their careers and Dana White handled this poorly.
Irony is the clash of opposites. It is the juxtaposition of what is expected against what happens; what you know and what you think you know. And... Most people don't get it.
Agreed.I knew it had to be some kind of PEDs for Dana to be so pissed, and to hand out a lifetime ban.This is the same thing Sonnen was doing right? Sounds an awful lot like cheating to me. Low Testosterone? C’mon man! That’s a thing old men get get, usually over 50. Sorry Nate, you will get no sympathy from me. Dude blew his career, hope this is a lesson to other guys trying to skirt the rules.For once i totally agree with Dana. This was Nate’s 2d time, and Dana’s gonna keep the UFC as clean as possible.
No sympathy for Nate from me either.
If you play with fire you may get burned. I also understand Dana has a business to protect, so the decision makes sense but…..
Dana handled this poorly. The video announcing Nate was out showed no tact or skill in communication for a president of a huge business.
The comments from Dana about this being “The Best UFC Card Ever!” is total bullshit. Saying crap like that is what turns fans off when it’s such a blatant lie.
The only sympathy I have is for Rick Story. That guy got hosed.

to try to lower the testosterone level, or at least used that as an excuse
seriously. if i applied for a job and they told me I had to take a piss test in 6 weeks, i'd get clean.
what Nate did was abslutely idiotic. He could’ve gotten that stuff out of his system, but he was too concerned with trying to attain an illegal competitive advantage.

I kinda feel bad for Nate.
I´m a Dana White fan but I think he got way too pissed off at Nate. I know he ruined the main event but the guy made a mistake. Sonnen doesn´t seem to be on Dana´s black list, so why is Nate?
obvious reasons
Nate got destroyed by Andy…Chael worked Andy over
Whats the difference between Two_Words and a bucket of shit? The bucket.
I don't think Dana was going to potentially lose as much $$ over Chael's situation.
"There are no pacts between lions and men."
That´s a good point but..
Dana is always talking about giving people second chances. He just seemed so pissed off. Like Nate had attacked his family or something. I just felt it was unnecessary. Although that´s how Dana is, I guess.
no employer should ever fire anyone via twitter video
regardless of what you did
Whats the difference between Two_Words and a bucket of shit? The bucket.
Nate says he was on TRT for his fight against Yushin Okami (UFC 122) and Rousimar Palhares (UFC Fight Night 22) with no issues but his levels were too high for this fight.
What the fuck?

it's much more impressive to control a guy like fitch for 5 rounds than it is to beat leites in any fashion. The quality of opposition tells a story as well.
nice

So to boil it down
For 7 years he was taking some steroid-esque supplement which probably ruined his testicles so now he takes pills to stimulate testosterone production. Moral of the story: go the natural route. Yes, it’s harder. Yes, it takes longer. But it’s all health benefit and now permanent damage to your nuts.

whats crazy
is that there are weightlifting excercises that’ll boost your test naturally. Entire body excercises like power clings, deadlifts, squats, clean and jerk (haha).
Yup
And taking steroids… might make you the money in the short run, but the damage to your body — testicles shutting down because they don’t need to produce test, etc. — jesus.

why is that retarded hella??

Whats the difference between Two_Words and a bucket of shit? The bucket.
We shall call this new drug WEE-ROID in one easy convienent pill.
I can see the commercials
Hey MMA fighters you tired of getting popped by the Man.
(Nick D) The man always be taking my blunts homes.
You looking for that Competitive edge but cant really trust your doctors.
(Nate Marq): Doctor told me to take those roids three weeks ago and said it would leave my system, now I have shrinkage and took TRT for 6 weeks.
Then you need the right balance of weed and steroids found in this convienent once a day pill. All the power of steroids but with the blunting of natural grown Jamaican red.
Now Weeroids can be yours for 4 easy payments of $29.99 per month,
thats right boys and girls 29.99 per month, so safe even little cyborg can take it.
Disclaimor
Any resemblance to fighter current or present was simply a coincidence or badly impersonated.
I've got something to say; it better to burn out than to fade away!!!
Walking on the beach and cleaning my sandles of all that excess Bisping.
PS3 Network is OFF. Have you checked your Credit Card today?
no they dont need it at all
but to group both in the “fucking retarded” category makes you fucking retarded
Whats the difference between Two_Words and a bucket of shit? The bucket.
some people need those things. Very few fighters actually need either.

Oh so now it's the doctors fault?!?

sig bet record: 1-1
He was going to a jank ass fertility doc I’ve been saying this from the beginning…..he’s been saying up until now in this interview that it was his primary care phys. that was giving him the trt treatment now the commission said the doctor giving him these treatments was incomplete and not acceptable…lol. they should end this interview if they knew what was good for them. Lying like hell.
Like I said we should take anything Nate says here with a grain of salt. He is looking to blame anyone and anything for his own fuck up .
Hey Mod
You have been very vocal about what was going to happen here and why.
Do you have time to write down all the discrepancies in the form of a fanpost, or put them below and I will summarize into a fanpost?
Last of the hopeless fools
I can later this afternoon would that be good for you? Like maybe by three o’clock est time? I’ve got to get some things done here I have spent most of my morning talking about this…lol.
whatever is good for you
I won’t get back until late tonight.
You are much more into the details than I am, so anything would be good. Thanks!
Last of the hopeless fools
I’ll put together some of the major issues between now and then post them below and if you don’t mind I’ll let you put the info into a fanpost. I think you could do a much bettter job at creating something readable tbf lol. Is that alright with you?
LOL they have been saying that the doc Nate was using was all on the up and up now his manger just said the commission stated his doc was incomplete yadda yadda…lol. I told you guys he was going to a jank ass fertility doctor. They need to shut up now they are getting caught in lies.
he is sounding more and more like a liar, but i still don't see how the ufc is hiding this TRT scandle from the public..
Obviously there are fighters out there who may need TRT, and it’s even more obvious that nate was being sneaky about it and dana fired him for being sneaky about doctor papers and what not..
how does this prove anything about Zuffa or any commission hiding the use of TRT’s?

So if this is the same shit that Sonnen got popped for......
How did Sonnen past his pre-fight test but fail the post-fight test?? Or was there no pre-test??
You play ball like a GIRL!!!
he failed prefight
he even warned them about the result

That´s a great question.
It seems to be the same therapy that Sonnen was on so why didn´t he fail his drug test before he fought Silva?
Just found this quote of Nate's from 7 months ago:
“My thinking is, it doesn’t matter if the guy I’m fighting is on steroids,” he said. “I don’t care about that. I should be able to beat him either way. I feel like I can fight someone on steroids and still have them at a disadvantage.”
“If you’re a true athlete, the best way is to be natural. Anything you get from steroids you’re trading off somewhere else, whether it’s your cardio or longevity in the sport. You need all those things.”
"There are no pacts between lions and men."
He found out he got fired through Twitter?! That´s crazy!
Am I the only one that finds that really unprofessional?
no and if you think that that is professional, and the proper way to do things, then you are an idiot
Whats the difference between Two_Words and a bucket of shit? The bucket.
I know Dana loves Twitter..
but using it to fire people is so wrong. No matter what they did.
read the comments. dude was roiding up, even after the commission called him out on it.
"There are no pacts between lions and men."
man theres a lot of bold comments above me :)
kinda crappy situation if you believe nate. don’t know about being fired but i guess he should’ve been on top of his shit
great...
the tears are back.

MUAHAHAHAHA HE IS SONNEN PART TWO!
FUCK HIM! GOOD RIDDENS!
Current bets:
20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.
What are riddens?
"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!" - The Tick
The Russian form of Riddums?
"Dak is going to punch you with sunshine and rainbows for saying that. ." - TheGreg
Better than anything I can come up with. +1
"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!" - The Tick
a common misspelling... GOOD RIDDENS I SAID! NOT SO GREAT! FUCK HIM!
Current bets:
20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.
So is lemon party!
"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!" - The Tick
Even worse than Sonnen in many ways….but yeah I dislike cheaters even though many do cheat taking banned substances in MMA that does not mean I should sell out what I stand for and support guys who I now know are cheating, but this TRT thing is nothing but another loophole into massively boosting your test particularly during training camp before a fight when a fighter would definitely benefit from super high levels of test.
Yep. I think there is about 1% chance that he actually needed it.
Suffering from low levels of testosterone? It’s a fuckin joke. He is a pro MMA fighter who has been fighting successfully for years. Gets destroyed by Okami and all the sudden you have low testo? Yeah right Nate.
Current bets:
20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.
I wonder if his 'doctor' has other clients that need to be looked at?
"Why am I here? Why does my mind have wings? Why do blue midgets hit me with fish?!" - The Tick
lol I think Clay Guida definitely needs some testosterone
Current bets:
20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.
Some people are fuckin morons..He was straight forward..whether he needed it or not was the doctors decision wasnt it..he was diagnosed..as soon as he was advised to stop BY A DOCTOR HE STOPPED..Chael sonned lied about it and for some reason because he had a great fight with silva its totally different in dana’s eyes..Seems like he did everything he needed to do but it was too high so he got cut..for all the steroid users in the ufc that actually got caught it just baffles me that he was so harsh on him for it
Favorite fighters
LHW Champ Bones Jones-Before and After the hype
Bj Penn- When he is on top of his game he is one of the greatest
Chael Sonnen- He has done something nobody else in the ufc has come close to..High testosterone or not.
Go back to Bloody Erection, I am sure they are just loving him over there and are being 100% respectful.
Current bets:
20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.
3 weeks ago Nate knew that he was high and might fail
There are quality guys that could have stepped in on 3 weeks notice for the MAIN EVENT for the UFC’s FIRST SHOW in Pittsburgh.
Do you not see how unprofessional Nate’s team was in not notifying the UFC as to the possibility that he would fail?
Last of the hopeless fools
I hope Tj Grant got paid his show money. Sucks for him. Nate is an asshole for doing that.
Current bets:
20$ on Fedor to finish Hendo against ViolentMike.
hurt? I thought he got really sick.
The Season 1 Mania Money Pool CHAMPION!

The reigning and defending Mania Money Pool CHAMPION!
Its not like he knew for a fact he couldnt make it..and its stupid that he got the hammer dropped on him for not notifying the ufc..chael sonnen fucked up and didnt say anything about it but he is still golden if it wasnt for the real estate shit and lying to keith kizer he would be fighting okami or something for number 1 contender..dana white even said he did his time but they did him dirty…so if it was before the fight he failed then it would disgust him!!
