Alistar Overeem claimed that he had never taken steroids intentionally

Alistar Overeem, a mixed martial artist, appealed his suspension which was received by him for usage of anabolic steroids in April 2012. But Alistar Overeem couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. He forfeited his license for 9 months. Then this fighter will be allowed to obtain it again.
This fighter acknowledged that he had applied injectable testosterone that was recommended him by his health care provider. Overeem utilized the strategy which was considered to be boring. He claimed that he had never utilized anabolic steroids or other related medicines knowingly. Alistar Overeem tried to make the NSAC believe that his injectable application of steroids was accidental.
The defense attorney for Alistar Overeem was David Chesnoff who has been experienced in defending famous sportspeople.
Chesnoff called the personal doctor of Overeem to testify during the hearing. It was believed that Dr. Molina would testify in defense for this athlete. Testimonies of this health care provider were too miserable. The physician Molina presented an explanation for prescriptions of several medicines that led to Overeem’s elevated testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating doctor of Alistar Overeem admitted that he recommended and injected his patient with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he had an injury. Actually, these medicines are used for anti-inflammatory needs. But intake of testosterone for recovery from injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is supposed that the doctor Molina hasn’t informed this fighter that these preparations contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is obviously that he has never asked about it.
So, testimonies of the health care provider Molina turned out to display lack of the evidence related to medical purposes for intake of forbidden medicines by Alistar Overeem. The physician couldn’t provide any reasonable explanation that could justify recommendations of Toradol and Dexamethasone to this man. Testimonies of the physician Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
In fact, it became evident that Alistar Overeem was a victim of the physician’s quack.
But it is possible to suggest that this strategy was designed by the defense attorney for Alistar Overeem.
Pat Lundval, a commissioner, was probably impressed by the defense of Alistar Overeem. She even called him a “smart guy”.
The members of the NSAC seemed to be convinced that Overeem has been actually a great guy but he has surrounded himself with such questionable individuals, as the doctor Moline. They recommended him to look for more qualified professionals in the future.
