These guys need Denny Crane. Never lost. Never will.

UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk (Pictures) has tested positive for Nandrolone Metabolite following his title defense July 7 in Sacramento, Calif, the state's athletic commission revealed Thursday. Sherk scored a dominating five-round decision win over Brazilian Hermes Franca (Pictures), whom the CSAC also said tested positive for the banned substance Drostanolone.
After testing both "A" and "B" samples of the urine specimen provided by Sherk the day before the fight, the UFC champion's Nandrolone level was certified by the Director of Science and Technology at the lab conducting the tests at 12 ng/ml, two times higher than the threshold allowed by the CSAC, said the state regulatory body.
The Minnesotan lightweight has been fined $2,500 and suspended 365 days from the date of the fight, including an additional 10 days that would need be served if Sherk reapplied for a license to fight in the Golden State.
Calls to Sherk and his trainer Greg Nelson were not immediately returned.
Franca was also fined $2,500 -- the maximum fine the CSAC can levy -- and suspended through July 5, 2008. The Brazilian told MMAweekly.com that he had used a "banned substance" prior to the fight.
"I offer only an explanation and not an excuse," Franca said. "I made a decision during a difficult time in my training for the fight that I regret."
Saying an injured ankle prompted him to look for ways to "accelerate the healing process" Franca said he made the "shortsighted" choice to use a banned substance. "Under the pressure of literally not being able to pay next months bills I made a choice," he told MMAweekly. "I had to fight and did whatever I could to do so."
UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva (Anderson Silva' class='LinkSilver'>Pictures) and Nathan Marquardt (Pictures), participants in July 7's other title fight in Sacramento, Calif., were both cleared for any banned substances.
This news comes on the heels of a CSAC report that revealed 28 violations, including nine for steroids, of its anti-doping policy from March 31, 2007 through July 6, 2007. Seventeen of the 28 violators were fighters in mixed martial arts contests.

With his lightweight champion and his latest opponent facing a year-long ban, UFC President Dana White made it clear where the industry's leading promotion stands on the use of performance-enhancing agents.
In the wake of Sean Sherk and Hermes Franca's positive steroid tests following the July 7 UFC 73: Stacked event, White reiterated Zuffa's position on steroid use in a statement released on the company's Web site, UFC.com.
"Our policy on fighters using steroids, illegal drugs or any banned substance remains the same," declared White, "you cannot use them."
White also put the UFC staunchly on the side of regulators, pledging to do whatever they can to limit the effects of banned substances on the sport and its participants.
"It's not only unhealthy and unsafe, it is against the law," said White. "The UFC fully supports the commission's efforts and we will continue to take the measures that keep this sport clean and keep the athletes safe."

is anyone NOT surprised?
-
That blows, Sherk is the man. It seems the ones testing positive are all testing positive for Nandrolone, why is that?
-
Because nandrolone metabolites can be detected for up to 12 months after discontinuing use of it. Even longer depending on the test.
Ouch! Epic wrong steroid taking.

Evander Holyfield has been on the juice for over a decade. He was 175 pounds before he roided up.
MMA is more legit than boxing-in every way. Boxing is the wwf.

when will the fucking public and media get over all this 'steroid paranoia' shit and just accept that top-level athletes use TEH JUICE? it doesnt even fucking matter, if your competing at the highest level in any sport, and make a living from it, i would juice and expect all my competitors to do the same.
they need to stop whining and legalize it already ::)

what you wanted to ask is this,,
when will the fucking public and media get over all this 'steroid paranoia' shit and just accept that in the usa as of 2007 2 out of 3 lifters in a gym are hormonized to a degree,,either did it,,do it,,about to do it,,or will do it,,
when will the fuckin public and media etc etc.. that in the usa as of 2007 many use insulin and gh and call themselves NATURALS!! and no one can say shit about it,,guys in middle of no where just go in walgreens and buy INSULIN THE MOST ANABOLIC AGENT OUT THERE!!!
when will the fuckin public and etc etc..that in usa as of 2007 some local dealers make 50k a months clean to the pocket! now you think of it and tell me when local alabama dealer make 50k a month and big dealer usa make 200k a month,,you tell me how many people use nolva liquid clen and winstrol,,, the number of users is enourmous,,you do not make 50k-200k a month every month as a single person unless over 60-70% of the country is into their look and health!
get with the flow,,as of 2007 almost every one uses,,especially those who been in it for couple years,,that is why dea and fda dont go to the house of individual personal users of hormones,,there are so many they would have to put 100s of people a day every day behind bars,,this is why le goes after the big distributers or atleast try to,,or try to concentrate on the ones who deal/do narcotics/painkilers

Geez, the third time alone today a gimmick has started the same thread. Hate to break it to you, but the majority of MMA fighters are on some kind of gear. It's almost impossible to train 6 days a week for 6-7 hours at a clip and expect your body to recover from everything. ::)

hahaha, I shouldn't have let that slip. It's better watching all the clowns who are "training for the UFC" and figure to get there in 2-3 months of some dynomite curls and benching.

Was anybody surprise? Have you looked at Sherks Physique???
Im not ready to concede that "steroids are part of the game so just accept it" argument. I suspect that "do whatever it takes to win" attitude is a front for real insecurities. People like to say that the public expects this...and every other competitor uses that, so what choice do I have....I don't buy it.
I think that sports as big business probably create unrealistic expectations for athletes "like 70 homerun seasons" because they are selling a product. They sell it, the public buys it, and the athlete feels like they have to rick their health to provide it.
Until all three of these issues are addressed I don't expect much to change.
While I agree that competitors are always looking for ways to get an edge and I believe thats healthy there has to be a point where OCD becomes a reality. For me, that would be when I stop looking at ways I can improve my training and diet and start sticking needles into my muscles. But thats just me.

all pain killers.

MMA is a joke. It's as if the collective mind of the domesticated male spawned this sport where roided up, overally macho, gymrats all band together and pummel each other to prove who is more of a man. In an effort to prove to themselves violence is needed in everyday modern society. How gay

These idiots apparently did not do their research. As was said before epic wrong steroid taking.

no its not , you dont know what your talking about, theres a differance between being a bb and traing for a fight,no one trains 7 hours day idiot , more like 2 , 2 and a half hours then break than back at it again and more like 5 days with weekends off , and most fighters only lift 2-3 times a week with lots of cardio , easy to do this with out juice if your in shape , but you prolly wouldent know what thats like, there not lifting weights 5 days a week like bb doing stupid shit like traing your back and shoulders on monday and then doing chest and biceps on tuesday, no fighter would train like that , not evan the juiced up ones
No, most guys train 5-7 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. Usually grapple/strike for 2-3 hours in the morning, rest and eat, then another session in the afternoon followed by some weightlifting or cardio every other day or whatever. And you're a fucking moron, grappling and striking are a helluva lot harder on the body than bodybuilding. Or maybe you don't know what you're talking about and should stay out of this thread? I don't recall saying "weightlifting" anywhere.
But hey, I guess Arona, Wandy and all the other top fighters who are geared up are full of shit when they talk about how much they train. ::)

hahaha, SS would stomp a mudhole in you. It's ok, you were made to look like a moron and a TUF fanboy. It's alright though, keep jerking off to this season's finale, I'm sure you'll "hit the big leagues in no time". You probably don't own enough TapOut gear. You need a minimum of shirt, short and headband to be labeled in TapOut logos before you can even think about stepping foot in a ring. Forget about training, Tap IT OUT! ::)

Nandrolone is the 2nd best steroid around in my opinion next to my favorite one, tren. But its not good for athletes who test

exactly---if normal people new the hypocrisy of the vast amount of law and just everyday people from all walks of life on steroids they would be shocked.

You actually use gear? You must pay with monopoly money my man.

MMA is a great sport when you get to see the great ones fight. Most of the fighters in the UFC are lower class guys who arent particularly skilled in any aspect of the sport but have a general base of fight knowledge. Thats where the edge is lost. I dont wanna sound like an "MMA know it all" but I'd say the sport is past its prime with the talent pool becoming extremly diluted ie. fewer "elites".
Dana white should just send all the gear using athletes to japan where they arent tested for anabolics. Problem solved.

I think UFC is just starting to open peoples eyes at how entertaining it is. My freinds and I just recently started to watch it, we go out to bars its on all the tv's, UFC is just gettin big!!!

lol who was having a whinge about this being 'gay' and stupid for proving to eachother who is more of a 'man' ?
violence is a part of animal life..
i admit its easy to recognize and perform.. but its interesting to see who can use what they have to their potential, as is anything.. pushing any limit is entertaining, challenging and satisfying.
sean sherk is pretty badass too!

Exactly. Given the benefits to guys making millions of bucks, who wouldn't?

interesting.
pride always had better fighters than the UFC.
Pride had bigger bank accounts and therefore larger fighter pay. Things were jammin till all the yakuza connections became public and fuji tv dropped their broadcasting. Their fighters come from all over the world who are the elite from their country. UFC is pretty populated with gear using US white trash with low skill. The guys who use gear in Pride are typically already amazing at what they do.

NFL players in the 70s and 80s openly used juice with no testing... yet in this day of age players are tested "strictly" and are breaking the records of the juiced up players of the 70s and 80s... hmmmmmmm. interesting...
-
It will get worse before it gets better...Alot of guys really have to get on board with someone that really knows how to get by test...A man like Milo's comes to mind and if i were a fighter, he would be one guy i probably would love to have a conversation with...
Of course the men who really make the money will have a better chance of working with people who are really technical about drug testing...One would think that shiek should have known better then to even bother with deca...But whos to say he even known he was using that hormone...Like GH15 always says...Stay with the human grade products..
He probably has people now coming out of the wood work saying the same thing about deca...I'm sure he won't test positive in the future...Unfortunately it now cost him a year suspension...
