In a sport where steroid use is highly expected, what comes as a surprise is that players still get sanction when they are discovered to be using them. That is the case of Ken Shamrock, the “World’s Most Dangerous Man,” and Ultimate Fighting Champion Hall of Famer. It was discovered that prior to his fight with Ross “Grizzly” Clifton he administered some PEDs. His urine was tested positive with the substance. This report was announced by the California State Althletic Commission.
The steroid substances found in Shamrock’s urine sample were two Nandrolone-based substances 19-Norandrosterone and 19-Noretiocholanolone.
When Shamrock is suspended he will be able to apply for reinstatement in February 2010 before he turns 46.
The world of sports is under the watchful eye of the Anti-Doping Agency that bolstered their campaign against the use of steroids among athletes. Major League baseball player Alex Rodriguez had admitted tot the use of steroids in 2001-2003 and there are still others facing raps for their involvement in using and distribution PEDs.
