The former American mixed martial artist Josh Barnett has got a conditional license by the California State Athletic Commission in order to fight. This athlete tested positive for the anabolic steroid which is well-known under the name “Masteron”. It was in June, 2009. Analyses of two urine samples showed that Josh Barnett had utilized this forbidden drug. It was before his fight against Fedor Emelianenko which was scheduled on August 1, 2009. As a result of his positive, the fighter was excluded from the event and sentenced to a suspension. Thus, Josh Barnett forfeited his license.
Josh Barnett denied intake of steroids or other related drugs intentionally. It was the second time, when this athlete claimed that he had never applied steroids knowingly.
Several years ago this fighter tested positive for steroids as well. After his fight in Las Vegas at UFC 36 in March 2002 he tested positive for metabolites of certain banned medications. So, he forfeited his UFC Heavyweight title.
This wrestler was banned for six months by the Nevada Athletic Commission. Shortly after he was banned he left the USA for Japan. Josh Barnett fought there for about 5 years. Later he returned home. During his defense he blamed a dietary supplement that was offered for sales legally. He noted that he had taken that supplement in 2002. It was included in the list of the controlled substances later, in 2004. This athlete claimed that it had been legal, when he had applied it.
Some persons were wondered that the CSAC granted Barnett a license in order to fight again. This person has never acknowledged that he had applied steroids.
This mixed martial artist noticed that a banned sportsperson had to talk publicly about evils of steroids in order to participate in competitions again.
