The former American mixed martial artist Josh Barnett has received a conditional license by the California State Athletic Commission in order to fight. This person tested positive for the anabolic steroid that is well-known under the name “Masteron”. It was in June, 2009. Analyses of two urine samples confirmed that this athlete had taken this prohibited preparation. It was before his fight against Fedor Emelianenko that was scheduled on August 1, 2009. As a result of his positive, this athlete was pushed out of the event and sentenced to a suspension. Thus, Josh Barnett forfeited his license.
This fighter didn’t admit to application of steroids or other related preparations knowingly. It was the second time, when he claimed that he had never used steroids intentionally.
Several years ago this athlete tested positive for steroids too. After his fight in Las Vegas at UFC 36 in March 2002 he tested positive for metabolites of some banned substances. Thus, he lost his UFC Heavyweight title.
This fighter was banned for a half year by the Nevada Athletic Commission. Soon after he was banned he left the USA for Japan. This person fought there for about 5 years. Then he came back home. As a defense in 2002, this athlete condemned a dietary supplement which was offered for sales legally. This fighter confirmed that he had administered that supplement in 2002. It was included in the list of the controlled substances later, in 2004. Josh Barnett confirmed that it had been legal, when he had applied it.
Several people were surprised that the CSAC granted Barnett a license to fight again. This person has never acknowledged that he had administered steroids.
This fighter confirmed that a banned athlete had to talk publicly about evils of steroids to be involved in competitions again.
Josh Barnett was capable to convince the commission that he believed that steroids represented obvious evil. Barnett asked whether they ever discussed that steroids were bad.
