<p>PED use got Chael Sonnen suspended from mixed martial arts by the Nevada Athletic Commission until 2016. Further, he left his broadcast media position at FOX Sports. However, he has been hired by ESPN, and is considering a run at the 2016 Olympic Greco Roman team.</p>
While at first glance this sounds like a typical Chael stirring the pot announcement, even a cursory read of what Sonnen said indicates it is genuine.
"I've considered trying out for the 2016 Olympic team in Greco-Roman wrestling," said Sonnen to the AP. "My goals would be different. I would not make the team, but I think I could be one of the guys. I could be right in there, top four or five. Give me a good opportunity to train and be active and still be a part of something while my body is still holding up."
Sonnen also reiterated that he is done fighting.
"No," he said. "I'm done with competitive mixed martial arts,."
