 |  Subject: Chael Sonnen failed a second NSAC test on June 5th.......for two different substances than he failed the first one for!! Sun Jun 29, 2014 12:54 pm | |

- Chael Sonnen stepped into retirement earlier this month after testing positive for two prohibited substances and voluntarily admitting to a third following a random drug test administered on May 24 in Las Vegas.
On Saturday, it came to light that Sonnen tested positive again in blood and urine samples given at another random drug test administered on June 5 in Portland, Ore.
Both tests were administered at the behest of the Nevada Athletic Commission because Sonnen at the time had been scheduled to fight at UFC 175 on July 5 in Las Vegas. NAC chairman Francisco Aguilar confirmed the second drug test to MMAWeekly.com following an initial report by MMAFighting.com.
It’s not that surprising that Sonnen would test positive again less than two weeks after the first failed test. It is surprising, though, that two of the four substances he tested positive for on the Portland-administered drug test were different than those the first test showed.
The May 24 test showed that Sonnen tested positive for Anastrozole and Clomifene, both of which can be utilized to help treat men with hypogonadism, which Sonnen claims to have. He also voluntarily admitted to taking Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG).
What he didn’t voluntarily admit to, and what didn’t show up on the May 24 test results, were human growth hormone (hGH) and recombinant human erythropoietin (EPO). Both are performance-enhancing substances that are prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency, which is the standard the NAC follows.
More commonly known for its use in professional cycling by the likes of Lance Armstrong and numerous others, EPO stimulates red blood cell production in the body, which increases the amount of oxygen that blood can carry to muscles. This stimulation increases endurance and recovery. http://www.mmaweekly.com/chael-sonnen-failed-second-random-drug-test-two-substances-differ-from-first-failed-test HGH and EPO, eh? Nice. Real nice......  | |

| Chael cheating?.... the hell you say! I'm sure we all believed for years (well since the last time he was caught) that he was 27% steroid free.
Oh Chael... you may cheat but here at the MMA Standard we still rank you #9. | |
