Aloha HG --

This article was published this morning for a new MMA site -- I had a lot of fun with it, hope you do too:

http://mmanuts.com/news/stray-dogs-mmas-ped-issues-belfort-sonnen-nsac/

Excerpt:

MMA fans, at least those interested in a clean sport, are abuzz about the Nevada State Athletic Commission hearings Wednesday -- which brought about a title fight in December for one PED user, and, perhaps, a job opportunity for another.

For those who missed it, Vitor Belfort received a license to compete, despite his recent tests for elevated testosterone, and will now fight Chris Weidman in December for the UFC Welterweight title. Belfort will receive “elevated testing” for the rest of his fighting career, but escaped suspension.
 
Chael Sonnen wasn’t so lucky. He was suspended for two years (which may be irrelevant as he already announced his retirement, but whatever…) and has been ordered to assist the NSAC with “education of its athletes” after his failed test. (To be fair, it’s said to not be a paid position.)
 
Does all this sound like a ridiculous circus act? Sure it does....
 
Check out the rest at: http://mmanuts.com/news/stray-dogs-mmas-ped-issues-belfort-sonnen-nsac/ and let me know what you think. Thanks!

I don't care about PED and Steroids in sports. It's not like you take it and are immediately better. Still gotta put in that work.

You're both out of luck. Me, I am so very glad that we're moving away from a contest of who can afford the best 'roids. Random testing for HGH and EPO is long overdue, and like BJ said, "puts a smile on my face."

"Chael Sonnen is actually a personal buddy of mine, and it’s sad to see what Chael Sonnen is going through," he said. "But if you want to talk about the future of the sport, the safety of the fighters…and I’ve always spoke out against it. It’s just I’m so excited now that they can get the HGH and the EPO. That put a smile on my face." -- BJ Penn
