Alistar Overeem never used steroids knowingly

Alistar Overeem, a mixed martial artist, appealed his suspension which was received by him for usage of anabolic steroids on April 24, 2012. But he couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. He forfeited his license for 9 months. Then Alistar Overeem will be allowed to obtain it again.
Alistar Overeem admitted that he had utilized injectable testosterone which was prescribed him by his health care provider. Overeem utilized the strategy which was considered to be boring. He claimed that he had never taken anabolic steroids or other related preparations intentionally. Alistar Overeem tried to make the NSAC think that his injectable administration of steroids was accidental.
The defense attorney for Alistar Overeem was David Chesnoff who has been experienced in representing prominent sportspersons.
Chesnoff called the personal physician 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 poor. Dr. Molina provided an explanation for recommendations of certain preparations that led to 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 medicines are used for anti-inflammatory needs. But intake of testosterone in case of injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is suggested that the doctor Molina hasn’t informed his patient that these products contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is obviously that he has never asked about it.
So, testimonies of the doctor Molina turned out to manifest lack of the evidence connected with clinical needs for application of forbidden drugs by Alistar Overeem. The physician couldn’t present any reasonable explanation that could justify recommendations of Toradol and Dexamethasone to this fighter. Testimonies of the health care provider Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
In fact, it was felt that 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 Alistar Overeem.
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 actually a great guy but he has surrounded himself with such questionable individuals, as the health care provider Moline. They recommended him to look for more qualified professionals in the future.
