I still had respect for Chael after the TRT issue at UFC 117 because he was in a legal limit he just didn't make it clear he was on TRT and then he failed over the fertility drugs a couple of weeks ago alright they weren't PEDs no harm in my book then but then yesterday he failed for HGH and EPO I don't what EPO is but I know HGH is definitely a PED and I lost all respect because I want to believe Chael wasn't a cheater but when you put human growth hormones in your body you know that is a banned substance it's one of most know PEDs out there sad day for Sonnen fans and bad day for the UFC to because he's one the most recognizable faces of the company

And on a more serious note, still am and most likely always will be a Chael Sonnen fan. I can't really explain why I like or dislike athletes, can't explain why Dirk Nowitzki is my favourite basketball player by far and not LeBron or Durant for instance. I'm usually drawn to intelligence and work ethic more than physical gifts.

That said, I offer no defense for Chael's PED intake (except when I joke around to bust some people's balls round here). I'm happy he got caught and wouldn't like to see him get any kind of let off. He's a two-time offender and he can sweet talk the **** out of everybody about wanting to be a father. Fact is, he got busted cheating before, went on TRT because he found a loophole to gain an advantage not because he really needed it for his everyday life (and even if he did it was only because he cheated before) and once he couldn't cheat legally anymore he got ****** and didn't do what Vitor did, which was sit the **** behind the scenes until you're clean or find a new cheating system (though it was harder for him to do after he'd talked all that **** on Wand, that's still not and excuse). So no exemptions from me on that.

Now that you know my full stance on the matter I can go back to selling Chael wolf tickets :)

I'm just glad this charlatan was never quite able to cheat his way to a title.  Time to reap what you've sown, Chael.

I think Sonnen is still a great analyst and personality and I'm not even mad at him I can't be a decent amount of guys who has been randomly tested has failed a test so the whole thing has been eye opening for me as a fan

I don't think most of you realize the gravity of the situation at hand. Chael Sonnen tested positive for HGH.

HGH.

I don't know much about EPO (other than the fact that Lance Armstrong took it) but no one in MMA has ever tested positive for HGH before; furthermore, it's easily the most widely used steroid because of its effectiveness and the fact that it leaves the system in a day. Chael Sonnen testing positive for HGH is really big, like not-be-featured-on-FOX-for-a-*******-while big.

There is nothing to be salvaged, all the positive memories of Sonnen's UFC career have now been tarnished. This is the most significant drug test failure in the history of the UFC.

@bispingthebest  sonnen was well over the t/e ratio @ ufc 117, about 4 times over. he did write down he took testosterone on the paperwork he submitted. this is well documented info from a few years ago. dont spread misinformation.

yes other fighters have been caught using PEDs before, but the thing with sonnen is that he was always pointing the finger at everyone else. when in reality he was the liar, cheat, and most fake. ive been saying this guy is a farce for years, good to see more truth coming to light.

this PED talk is interesting and all, but lets talk about something jon jones posted on instagram instead :)

Still a Sonnen fan. Brought it in the cage, was entertaining outside of it.

Boring fighter, WWF personality, criminal, multiple time PED offender and hypocrite.

I know Sonnen has loyal fans but, good riddance.

Fantastic to hear that the UFC and FOX have cut ties with Chael. Fantastic! Hope this is not temporary.

Wise move to cut him. He was a good commentator, but a poor representative of the sport in light of yet another failed drug test.
