Alistar Overeem, a mixed martial artist, appealed his suspension which was received by him for administration of anabolic steroids on April 24, 2012. But Alistar Overeem couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. Alistar Overeem forfeited his license for 9 months. Then Alistar Overeem may come back.
This fighter acknowledged that he had utilized injectable testosterone that was prescribed him by his physician. Overeem used the strategy that was claimed to be boring. He claimed that he had never taken anabolic steroids or other related medications knowingly. He tried to make the NSAC think that his injectable application of steroids was accidental.
David Chenoff, the defense attorney for Alistar Overeem, is experienced in representing celebrated sportspersons.
Chesnoff called the personal health care provider of Alistar Overeem to testify during the hearing. It was thought that Dr. Molina would testify in defense for his patient. Testimonies of this doctor were too poor. Dr. Molina presented an explanation for prescriptions of several products which led to Overeem’s elevated testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating doctor of Alistar Overeem acknowledged that he prescribed and injected his patient with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he had an injury. Actually, these medicines are utilized for anti-inflammatory purposes. But intake of testosterone in case of injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is believed that the physician Molina hasn’t informed Alistar Overeem that these preparations contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is evidentially that he has never asked about it.
So, testimonies of the health care provider Molina turned out to show lack of the evidence linked with medical purposes for administration of forbidden drugs by Alistar Overeem. The doctor couldn’t provide any reasonable explanation that could justify recommendations of Toradol and Dexamethasone to this person. Testimonies of the health care provider Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
Actually, it became evident that Alistar Overeem was a victim of the doctor’s quack.
But it is possible to suggest that this strategy was designed by the defense attorney for this mixed martial artist.
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 believe that Alistar Overeem has been really 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.
