    Following the news that Chael Sonnen failed his post fight drugs test, he is due to appear on MMA Live on Thursday. Should be pretty interesting viewing. I know that it broadcasts at 22:00, Thursday on ESPN in the UK, but unsure about when it shows in the States.

    Should be interesting to hear what he has to say since he told the commission during the pre-fight screening that he was taking testosterone.
    Very odd thing to do. I suspect we'll hear about how he was prescribed it by a doctor.
    He'll still get suspended but he might be able to get it down to six months.

    One thing we almost certainly won't hear from Sonnen is "I was taking testosterone leading up to the fight in order to get in better shape and be stronger. I was knowingly breaking the rules to get an advantage".
    Even if it's true, almost no one ever says that!

    If you refering to my post, it was a joke. Remember his denial of the Lance Armstrong comments when he said 'The guy sounded hispanic'. Im sure the video is out there

    Maybe it's a co-incidence but I'm reading that in other places? Did you happen to make the comment on a youtube video?

    Maybe when Cheal heard that Lance Armstrong was cycling he thought they ment steroids.

    Dude, a lot of people are making that joke. I've read it about fifty times on several different sites since yesterday.

    Go to the UG or any of the MMA news/gossip sites. I'm seeing someone make it in the comments in every other topic that I click on.
