Alistair Overeem has finally revealed his reason for failing his random UFC 146 drug test. Rather than go with the ol Chael Sonnen, he went for the Cris Cyborg:
I am deeply saddened to announce that on Friday, April 20, I respectfully withdrew from the May 26 event so that I can request a continuance until my situation with the Nevada State Athletic Commission is resolved.
I cannot express how sorry I am to the Commission, Junior Dos Santos, the fans, the owners and employees of the UFC, my friends and family and anyone else who this has affected.
I absolutely do not believe in, nor do I use performance-enhancing drugs. I am a clean fighter and I will do whatever it takes to prove this to everyone.
Prior to the UFC 146 press conference in March, I aggravated an old rib injury on my left side. My doctor prescribed, and I accepted, an anti-inflammatory medication that was mixed with testosterone. I was completely unaware that testosterone was one of the ingredients in the medication. Although I was unaware, I do realize it is my job to know what I am putting into my body.
Sounds legit. I think I’ll keep this letter in my back pockets for when I compete in this summer’s International Eye Rolling Olympics.
That’s a pretty terrible doctor who’s going to stick a professional athlete with testosterone and not let them know. Poor Alistair having his dream fight derailed because of this irresponsible medical dude! Now people are going to forever think he’s a big cheater who screwed up the biggest fight of his life.
Overeem is clean, this is bullshit! Get him back in the main event, he was going to win the fucking belt!
“That’s a pretty terrible doctor…”
Well, that would depend on what your actually looking for in a “Doctor”.
BTW: Is arriany catching the testosterone vapors in that picture or what?!
