Alistar Overeem is victim of doctor’s quack

Alistar Overeem, a mixed martial artist, appealed his suspension which was received by him for administration of anabolic steroids in April 2012. But Alistar Overeem couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. This fighter forfeited his license for 9 months. Then Alistar Overeem can obtain it again.
Alistar Overeem admitted that he had taken injectable testosterone which was prescribed him by his physician. Overeem utilized the strategy that was claimed to be boring. He claimed that he had never taken anabolic steroids or other related products intentionally. He tried to make the NSAC think that his injectable administration of steroids was accidental.
The defense attorney for Alistar Overeem was David Chesnoff who has been experienced in representing famous athletes.
The defense attorney called the personal health care provider of Alistar Overeem to testify during the appeal. It was believed that Dr. Molina would testify in defense for this athlete. Testimonies of this physician were quite pitiable. Dr. Molina presented an explanation for recommendations of several preparations which resulted in Overeem’s increased testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating doctor of Alistar Overeem acknowledged that he directed and injected this fighter with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he suffered from an injury. In fact, these preparations are taken for anti-inflammatory needs. But administration of testosterone in case of injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is suggested that the doctor Molina hasn’t informed his patient that these drugs contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is obviously that he has never asked about it.
So, testimonies of the health care provider Molina turned out to show lack of the evidence related to medical needs for usage of forbidden preparations by Alistar Overeem. The health care provider couldn’t present any reasonable explanation that could justify recommendations of Toradol and Dexamethasone to his patient. Testimonies of the health care provider Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
In fact, it was felt that Overeem was a victim of the physician’s quack.
But it is possible to suggest that this strategy was designed by the defense attorney for this athlete.
Pat Lundval, a commissioner, was probably impressed by the defense of Alistar Overeem. She even referred to him as to a “smart guy”.
The members of the NSAC seemed to be convinced that Overeem has been actually a great guy but he has surrounded himself with such questionable individuals, as the health care provider Moline. They recommended him to look for more qualified professionals in the future.
