Watched that fight and the commentators kept on saying that this was the best ever he looked physically
-
I saw part of the fight the other day and immediately thought he had been juicing. It was very obvious, even just looking at his face actually. He had his hair in braids, right?

I feel fcuking stupid now. Only thought Leben kicked the booze and got in shape.

Leben Suspended for Nine Months after Failing UFC 89 Drug Test
LAS VEGAS, November 3 - Zuffa, LLC
today released information stating that middleweight fighter Chris Leben tested positive for the anabolic agent stanozolol following his October 18th loss to Michael Bisping in the main event of UFC 89 in Birmingham, England.
As a result of the positive test, Leben will be suspended from fighting for nine months and must forfeit one-third of his fight purse.
“I am obviously disappointed with Chris, who has made great strides getting his life back on track,” said UFC President Dana White. “To his credit, he has taken responsibility for his actions and is accepting the punishment that has been handed down. But as always, the UFC puts the safety of its athletes first and foremost, and we won’t tolerate anyone using performance enhancing drugs in our organization.”
Leben said, “I’ve really done everything I can to turn my life around, and this is a huge setback for me, but it is something I will have to deal with. During my time off from fighting, I want to speak to kids about the dangers of using performance enhancing agents and let them know it just doesn’t get you ahead in life. Of course this is a hard hit for me monetarily, but more so this is embarrassing for me and for all of my fans. I apologize to the UFC and everyone who supported me in my fight in England. I hope to work through this and get back to fighting soon.”
The remaining 21 fighters on the UFC 89 card all passed their pre and post fight drug tests.

He did look much better than he ever has. Guess the winny worked. Too bad he's too chaotic a fighter to make it to the top tier.
I can't stand the guy but his fights are fun to watch.

hopefully Milo's will give him a call..

Never understood why fighters don't learn to mask better or hire someone who does.
He could have paid me 1/4 of his purse and I would have ensured him a negative test.
Dana is more pissed he got caught than anything else...................
Fuckin Leben.

yeah i agree...But who would have thought that a guy like Jose Canseco would actually try to walk over the mexican border in min/amounts of gear...How in the world does he not have someone that could do this for him...
