Under onsdagskvällen rapporterade Nevada State Athletic Comission (NSAC) att Alistair Overeem hade för höga testosteronvärden.
Overeems dopingprov innehöll över 10 gånger det normala värdet för testosteron. NSAC tillåter 6/1 och Wada 4/1.
Enligt Keith Kizer på NSAC har Overeem rätt till ett B-test för att kunna få licens för att tävla. Därmed är titelmatchen mot Junior Dos Santos i fara.
Det tog inte lång tid förrän Dana White reagerade på Overeems misslyckade dopingtest.
“I am beyond pissed about this,” said UFC president Dana White on Wednesday in a conference call with Canadian media that had been scheduled for one week.
“I’m so (expletive) mad right now I can’t even begin … “
“The worst part is that he sat in front of us and lied to us,” said White,
“How (expletive) stupid do you have to be? Seriously dumb. Anybody who’s using (performance-enhancing drugs) right now is an absolute (expletive) moron”.
“It’s beyond — what’s the word I’m looking for — it’s beyond belief. It’s beyond comprehension. You’re an absolute moron, a brain-dead absolute (expletive) dummy. It goes beyond a guy having any common sense whatsoever.”
“I don’t have a plan-B,” he said.
“It doesn’t look good, does it?” he said. “It doesn’t look good.”
Frank Mir är sugen på titelmatchen och säger:
“I would be excited if given the opportunity to compete for the UFC’s heavyweight title at UFC 146 if the reports released earlier today regarding Alistair Overeem failing his ‘A’ sample drug test are true”.
“I have been fortunate to be able to fight in the UFC for more than a decade, and it is a dream of mine to become the first three-time heavyweight champion in the UFC. Being able to fight Junior Dos Santos would put me one step closer to that dream.”
