The former American mixed martial artist Josh Barnett has obtained a conditional license by the California State Athletic Commission to be able to fight. This person tested positive for the anabolic steroid which is well-known under the name “Masteron”. It was in June, 2009. Analyses of two urine samples showed that this athlete had taken this banned medication. It was before his fight against Fedor Emelianenko that was scheduled on August 1, 2009. As a result of his positive, the wrestler was pushed out of the event and sentenced to a suspension. So, this athlete lost his license.
This fighter didn’t admit to application of steroids or other related medicines knowingly. It was the second time, when he claimed that he had never utilized steroids knowingly.
Some years ago this person tested positive for steroids too. After his fight in Las Vegas at UFC 36 in March 2002 he tested positive for metabolites of certain forbidden products. Thus, he forfeited his UFC Heavyweight title.
This fighter was banned for 6 months by the Nevada Athletic Commission. Soon after he was banned he left the USA for Japan. This athlete fought there for circa 5 years. Later he returned home. As a defense in 2002, this athlete condemned a dietary supplement which was offered for sales legally. Josh Barnett claimed that he had taken that supplement in 2002. It was included in the list of the controlled substances later, in 2004. This athlete claimed that it had been legal, when he had applied it.
Some people were surprised that the CSAC granted Barnett a license to fight again. This person has never admitted that he had applied steroids.
This fighter stated that a suspended athlete had to talk publicly about evils of steroids in order to be involved in competitions again.
Josh Barnett was able to convince the commission that he thought that steroids represented obvious evil. He asked whether they ever discussed that steroids were bad.
