Affirmations of Alistar Overeem’s doctor were used against this athlete

Alistar Overeem, a mixed martial artist, appealed his suspension that was received by him for intake of anabolic steroids in April 2012. But he couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. Alistar Overeem forfeited his license for 9 months. Then he will be allowed to receive it back.
This fighter admitted that he had applied injectable testosterone which was advised him by his physician. Overeem utilized the strategy which was claimed to be boring. He noted that he had never used anabolic steroids or other related drugs intentionally. He tried to make the NSAC believe that his injectable administration of steroids was accidental.
The defense attorney for Alistar Overeem was David Chesnoff who has been experienced in representing well-known sportspeople.
David Chesnoff called the personal health care provider of his client to testify during the hearing. It was believed that Dr. Molina would testify in defense for this fighter. Testimonies of this physician were too pitiable. The doctor Molina presented an explanation for recommendations of several medications which resulted in Overeem’s enhanced testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating doctor of Alistar Overeem acknowledged that he recommended and injected this athlete with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he suffered from an injury. Actually, these drugs are applied for anti-inflammatory needs. But administration of testosterone in case of injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is supposed that Dr. Molina hasn’t warned this fighter that these medicines contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is obviously that he has never asked about it.
Thus, testimonies of the physician Molina turned out to display lack of the evidence connected with therapeutic purposes for application of forbidden drugs by Alistar Overeem. The physician couldn’t present any reasonable explanation which could justify prescribing of Toradol and Dexamethasone to this athlete. Testimonies of the health care provider Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
Actually, it became evident that Overeem was a victim of the health care provider’s quack.
But it is possible to suppose that this strategy was designed by the defense attorney for this athlete.
The commissioner Pat Lundval was probably impressed by the defense of Overeem. She even referred to him as to a “smart guy”.
The members of the NSAC seemed to be convinced that Overeem has been really a great guy but he has surrounded himself with such questionable individuals, as the health care provider Moline. They advised him to look for more qualified professionals in the future.
