    It would definitely be nice to have more information about this. Most obviously, what exact PED he tested positive for.

    This is so demoralizing to hear. I hope Dana comes down on him like ****ing hellfire. Sonnen's performance vs Silva was so ****ing good, this really is a complete kick in the testes.

    He should be sitting out a ban when Anderson fights Vitor Belfort.

    Since the kind of PED he tested positive for has not been revealed, let's not throw the guy under the bus just yet.
    However, if he did take a cold/flu medication that contained a PED such as norepinephrine, Chonnen and his camp would have to be pretty stupid to not have checked it out before he took it. There's no excuse for an athlete that competes in a sport that is subject to drug testing to be ignorant of the kind of substances that are banned.
    But still, it's all speculation until we find out just what he had in his system.

    latest new update.

    "Yesterday the news first broke that the UFC’s Chael Sonnen had tested positive for performance enhancing drugs, but at the time the substance he had used was not known.

    Today many fans worst fears were confirmed when Lance Pugmire of the LA Times reported that Sonnen had tested positive for, “a natural steroid.”

    Contrary to the initial reports yesterday he also revealed after a conversation with CSAC’s George Dodd that it was a pre-fight urine sample which tested positive.


    According to Dodd the UFC’s middleweight division No.1 contender now faces a year’s suspension and a $2,500 fine, and now has 30 days to appeal the decision."

    Has anyone got any idea what a natural steroid is? I'm no expert in this matter.
