So this seems to have boiled down to Sonnen not putting in the paperwork required by the athletic commission declaring that he was undergoing treatment for testosterone. It seems he didn't cheat in any traditional way--he wasn't juiced up on boldenone or stanazol or the normal stuff--but testosterone is equivalent. There are a few other fighters undergoing the same kind of treatment. I think Couture gets hormone replacement therapy or something like that.
So you can't even get a hormone upgrade? These guys need new ways to juice. I say, start extracting some shark hormones. No one will beat you then, I guarantee.
I'm not sure what the rules are for that kind of treatment but it seems even the CSAC don't really understand their own rules so who knows...
A lot of wrestler's use it because of the effects of weight cutting. Couture, Hendo, Sonnen, and rumors have Lindland using it too. Its perfectly legal as long as you do the proper paper work. I just find it hard to believe Sonnen was using it to replace testosterone. Hendo and Couture use the treatment regularly, I've read. Sonnen tries it right before the biggest fight of his career? And I rewatched the fight the other day, I couldn't believe I didn't notice how much BACNE he had the 1st time I watched it.
But yeah, Sonnen has proven to be a fucking liar more times than I can recall right now so take anything he says with a silo of salt.
