http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/CSA...-UFC-117-26978According to California State Athletic Commission Executive Officer George Dodd, Chael Sonnen has been notified that he failed post-fight drug screening following his loss to Anderson Silva at UFC 117, which was held Aug. 7 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif.
“[Sonnen] received his notice yesterday,” Dodd told Sherdog.com shortly after the Shane Mosley-Sergio Mora boxing match ended Saturday night in Los Angeles.
In a conversation the day before, Dodd declined to comment on the situation, other than answering that all fighters from UFC 117 had passed drugs-of-abuse scans, but that the commission was still waiting on performance-enhancing drug screens from the event.
Dodd did not state which banned substance was red-flagged, but with a clean drugs-of-abuse scan it is clear the positive test was for a performance-enhancing substance.
The last major UFC banned-substance case in the state centered on UFC 73’s lightweight title match, which saw both competitors -- Sean Sherk and Hermes Franca -- test positive for PEDs. Both fighters were suspended for one year and fined, though Sherk appealed and had his suspension shortened to six months.
Sonnen is staring at a long layoff if he elects not to appeal or is denied. He was scheduled to rematch Silva Feb. 6 in Las Vegas, but that fight may be delayed or scrapped in light of these allegations.
Text messages to Sonnen went unreturned.
His manager Matt Lindland told Sherdog.com that he was cornering a fighter on the East Coast and had no knowledge of the positive test results.
Silva’s manager Ed Soares, who engaged in some heated exchanges via the media in the build up to the fight, was stunned when asked for his reaction.
“If it’s true, I feel really bad for him,” said Soares. “I know he did it to himself but it is really sad, he put on such a great performance that night. It is just a shame it will be tarnished.”
lmao chael

I'd like to see what he got caught with before I hold anything against him. There are some PEDs that are joke. There are some that can legitimately change the outcome of a fight.

in b4 he says it was unintended use from some flue medication he was taking for that bug he was talking about going through pre fight.

I hope it was not something dumb he took for the flu symptoms he was having the couple days pre-fight. Remember he was complaining about having an upset stmach and such.

It COULD have been diuretics, but we will have to wait to see what it was.
But I highly doubt PEDs was the reason Chael did good in the fight, him being a great wrestler going against a guy with less than stellar wrestling.All Time WR Squat: 785 @ 220 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0GtHNRdHeM

Chael is a HUGE middleweight though. If it turns out to be diuretics then that means he couldn't have even qualified for the title fight without breaking the rules. That's a pretty significant goof if you ask me.Originally Posted by Big Sexy J

If it was actual roids he was taking then he's just a bigger moron than I thought he was. But we'll just have to wait and see what it actually is.

"NathanMarquardt - Ok so sounds like it's confirmed that Sonnen failed drug test when he fought Silva. Apparently he was taking meds 4 flu n that made positive"
