    Re: Overeem releases statement, says he's clean, blames doctor

    Was he taking bottles at a time?

    Re: Update: Overeem has hearing before NSAC

    Overeem's lawyer is looking for a 60-90 day continuance in order to settle the matter.

    The commission knocks down the request for a continuance.

    The doctor that administered the injection is on hand, as is AO.

    Should be interesting to see how they explain why the testosterone in the injections was not mentioned to him, or why he wasn't interested in knowing.

    AO's Texas doctor didn't tell him there was testosterone in the injections. Good doctor.

    Re: Update: Overeem has hearing before NSAC

    Coincidence: Texas doesn't test for testosterone and that's where Overeem went (despite living in Holland/training in Florida) for his injection.

    Re: Update: Overeem has hearing before NSAC

    Well this has all imploded. The NSAC will have an easy time doling out the suspension. Overeem clearly went to a crooked doctor to get drugs, got what he asked for, and was caught.

    Bringing Dr. Nick to court is like having Charles Manson as a character witness.

    Re: Update: Overeem has hearing before NSAC

    As expected it seems Overeem will not be able to apply for a license for 9 to 12 months.

    This looks like a decent label to put on serious medicine...

    Re: Live update: Overeem denied license to fight in Nevada

    To those that don't already know, Overeem knew he was going to be tested so he left the country prior to the Lesnar fight. He was subsequently tested on his own schedule and passed.

    When he heard he was being tested in Vegas, he bolted out of the building. The commission had to call him and tell him to come back or else they'd consider his test positive.
