[SWIFTboy]

For me the most interesting part of this article is the fact that Dana has clearly never heard of the Great Depression.

Chael will be suspended, he'll appeal, and it'll probably be reduced to 6 months or so as it was for Sherk. In any case, it seems doubtful he's fighting Silva in January or February.

Ya, I for one have heard enough athletes lie out their ass about PEDs to think that what Sonnen says on this topic will mean anything. He has already proven himself a shameless liar (like when he went on a radio show denying he said all that stuff about Armstrong).

However, I don't really agree with all this stuff about how this will "tarnish" his legacy. Unless the athlete is playing baseball, no one really seems to care if they are using PEDs or not. Positive tests for PEDs have done little to hurt the careers of Tim Sylvia, Stephan Bonnar, Sean Sherk, James Toney, Shane Mosley, and so on. As long as a guy is winning in combat sports, no one cares.

My question is what are they going to do about the Silva vs Sonnen rematch? This changes around the MW picture if Sonnen is going to be out for a year. The worst thing that could happen is Silva waits a year for Sonnen to be able to fight and there are no title defenses for a year. I say the winner of Okami vs Belfort gets the next title shot and Sonnen gets his shot when he's back.

Just read that it was a natural steroid, something you can buy at GNC. To me that's not quite the same as juicing.

What hit me on this article, $2 extra on the ppv to ensure better testing? I have one response and it starts with Fuck.
