Everyone hold hands and rejoice, Chael Sonnen is back in the news. The real Chael Sonnen, not his Hispanic impersonator who occasionally pops up whenever slanderous remarks about Lance Armstrong are said on a radio show. Although Chael Sonnen has been relatively quiet since the California State Athletic Commission accused Sonnen of taking steroids prior to his UFC 117 bout against Anderson Silva. Sonnen vehemently denies the CSAC's allegations and intends to rebut these claims at a hearing on December 2nd. According to Keith Kizer of the NSAC, Chael Sonnen's defense revolves around his claim that he was under testosterone replacement therapy up until (and possibly after) August 17th 2010. The only problem is that Chael Sonnen was never approved for hormone replacement therapy, despite Chael claiming he was approved for HRT in three of his previous bouts leading up to UFC 117.

Leave all the gender reassignment jokes stored in that inner-recess of your horribly twisted mind. Testosterone replacement therapy is actually not that uncommon for athletes over thirty and for those competing on a super-humanly high level. Some of you may remember that we gave you the heads up about this in one of our Sunday Morning Rumor Mills when a member of Team Quest actually told us of Chael Sonnen's anticpiated CSAC defense. Of course, if you believe Sonnen, the guy claims that he told the Athletic Commission he was on performance enhancing drugs before UFC 117.

We're just two weeks from Chael Sonnen's official CSAC hearing and we only wish that someone would record the entire process and place it on UStream. If Chael Sonnen's rebuttal fails, the next time we will see him in the octagon is roughly around August of 2011. [Source]

Keep it up! You guys are great at hating Chael Sonnen, does it hurt to know that your precious Anderson is broken? I'll bet your two favorite fighters are Silva and GSP and that before April 10th you were BJ Penn's biggest fan. I'm so tired of the people on this site. Time to prepare for a wonderful barrage of thumbs down from the pissed of fair weather fans who know for a fact that Sonnen cheated their God of MMA out of his king status, But that's what two years of cans gets you, guys, somethimes you forget what reality looks like.

I'm tired of idiots defending juicers.

People still want Barnett to compete for god's sake...

And then they piss & moan about this sport's credibility/mai nstream acceptance not being what it should.

Gee I wonder why...

Also, you don't find it the least bit suspicious that the loudest-mouthed twat in MMA has suddenly shut his trap and has not made one single statement to the media, cancelled his scheduled TV appearance on MMA Live (Sept. 23rd) and the fact that even Dana hasn't addressed the issue or talked to Chael himself?

I'm pretty sure most people do not discuss things like this in public until after they make their official defense.

As far as I know, Carwin still hasn't said anything about his steroid allegations and no one was even charging him with anything.

He doesn't need to win. He just needs to get a reduced suspension to like 6 months from the time of the incident (August) which means he would be able to fight again at the end of a training camp starting soon after they hand down a decision which won't happen until next month so...

Read it before you cite it:
both genders were administered rhGH for eight weeks in doses about fivefold the replacement dose (for adults with GH deficiency),

Testosterone Replacement Therapy is for treating erectile dysfunction. That means Chael's little soldier won't solute no more.

Wow do people not understand a subject...... It is a real medical issue that 95% of people that have are not treated. It doesn't mean you have erectile dysfunction either.

erectile dysfunction... it's a joke - ya know, haha!

But seriously, you don't actually think Chael has a condition worth treating, do you? Did ya know that testosterone replacement has been known to be used/abused as a way to bulk-up by not using a banned substance?

Chael is faking whatever "condition" he claims to have... if you can't see that you are blind.

For sure it is abused but I do have friends who are in 20s and 30s who had REALLY low testosterone levels. Most likely Chael is using it as an excuse and when using a banned substance for a medical issue it has to be cleared ahead of time.

Its more that if anyone legitimately needs HRT and is somewhat physically fit it is still looked down upon.

So if Sonnen wins his case does he bump Vitor (the foot lover) Belfort for a title shot?

Nah...of course not.


Don't forget puplic perception..the y hated him before for his big mouth now they hate him even more for the allegations.

No matter what, looks at Sherk he made a good case for himself not having taken any roids but noone believed him anyway.

Dana won't rush the issue and would give him some build-up fights first.

Really? For what?

I don't know which profession would suit him the most?

He's a big mouth & with huge ego, sometimes childish - who was caught cheating, lying & abusing drugs.

Now is he better suited as real estate broker, fighter or politician?

He could play all roles in 'two & a half man' for sure!

Ideas for Sonnen Shirts

"I beat up Anderson Silva and all I got was this lousy T shirt"

"Matt Lindland ate my drug test results"

"despite Chael claiming he was approved for HRT in three of his previous bouts leading up to UFC 117."

This is far more interesting.

So this guy wins 2 of 3 fights in the WEC & loses his first in the UFC via submission.

After that he starts taking this stuff & wins his next 3 fights straight.

Embarrassing Okami and schooling Marquardt. Only to lose the title shot via submission.

He does pretty well since using that stuff - wouldn't you agree?

Too bad - not matter what you take it doesn't help your submission defense unless it turns you in the incredible Hulk...
