Alistar Overeem, a mixed martial artist, appealed his suspension that was received by him for intake of anabolic steroids in April 2012. But he couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. This fighter lost his license for nine months. Then this fighter will be allowed to come back.
Alistar Overeem admitted that he had utilized injectable testosterone that was recommended him by his physician. Overeem utilized the strategy that was considered to be boring. He claimed that he had never administered anabolic steroids or other related medicines knowingly. Alistar Overeem tried to make the NSAC think that his injectable usage of steroids was accidental.
David Chenoff, the defense attorney for Alistar Overeem, is experienced in representing famous athletes.
David Chesnoff called the personal physician of his client to testify during the hearing. It was believed that Dr. Molina would testify in defense for his patient. Testimonies of this doctor were quite poor. The doctor Molina presented an explanation for recommendations of several products which resulted in Overeem’s enhanced testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating physician of Alistar Overeem acknowledged that he indicated and injected this fighter with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he had an injury. In fact, these preparations are administered for anti-inflammatory purposes. But intake of testosterone for recovery from injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is supposed that the physician Molina hasn’t informed Alistar Overeem that these products contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is evidentially that he has never asked about it.
So, testimonies of the health care provider Molina turned out to manifest lack of the evidence linked with medical needs for administration of banned drugs by Alistar Overeem. The health care provider couldn’t present any reasonable explanation that could justify prescribing of Toradol and Dexamethasone to this man. Testimonies of the health care provider Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
Actually, it became evident that Overeem was a victim of the health care provider’s quack.
But it is possible to suppose that this strategy was designed by the defense attorney for this mixed martial artist.
Pat Lundval, a commissioner, was probably impressed by the defense of Overeem. She even called him a “smart guy”.
The members of the NSAC seemed to believe that Overeem has been actually a great guy but he has surrounded himself with such questionable persons, as the physician Moline. They recommended him to find more qualified professionals in the future.
