CSAC Upholds Antonio Silva Steroid Suspension, Fine
The California State Athletic Commission today upheld the one-year suspension of EliteXC heavyweight champion Antonio Silva following an appeals hearing.
Silva, who claimed the newly-created title with a second-round TKO of Justin Eilers in July, tested positive for the anabolic steroid Boldenone following his July victory.
Several pieces of evidence were submitted by Silva during today’s hearing, including a negative steroid test conducted one month after the initial test as well as evidence that he is unable to safely take steroids due to an existing medical condition and that he was taking a supplement known to cause false positives for Boldenone.
The evidence was not compelling enough, however, for the CSAC to overturn the result, as the commission voted unanimously voted 5-0 to uphold the one-year suspension and $2,500 fine.
ProElite, Inc., the parent company of EliteXC, filed for bankruptcy this week, leaving Silva without a promotion to call home when he’s eligible to return from the suspension next summer.

point is dont take steriods and sign with idiots.id rather smoke weed with joe rogan
re: “he was taking a supplement known to cause false positives for Boldenone.”
Real intelligent decision.
knightboy,
re: “small unit”
Steroids makes your balls smaller, not your unit.
That picture kills me. Gayest sasquatch ever.
you can tell by the size of his jaw bone that he does steroids…
DBiz,
You’re picture/avatar is great….I’m still diggin it. Have you looked up midget MMA on youtube yet? GAYEST SASQUATCH EVER!!!! I like that one. Very good.
*off topic*
Did anyone else see that the rumor is that Genki Sudo might return NYE in Japan to fight??
Who signs this guy? Maybe the UFC because the division is so thin.
Isn’t the “unit” considered like the “whole” package? So, the twig and berries would be considered the “unit”??? I don’t mean to get technical, but since we’re “on topic” and all I thought I would clarify.
I always perceived “unit” to me just the twig, not the berries. Where the twig and berries together would be the “package”.
Don’t rate him personally and would be surprised if Zuffa picked him up to me he is not nothing special and he is a cheat so **** him.
I thought the “unit” and the “package” were synonymous.
::shrugs:: to each his own I suppose…but back to what started this, steroids only make the berries smaller, not the twig, so in any case, it doesn’t make his unit smaller.
lol…
You guys are killing me. LOL
I did KOuch. I was disappointed with the quality of the MMA videos, but the Muay Thai videos were phenomenal.
another victim for lesnar he is good but lesnar is the man
God peoples ignorance on steroids is bad. First off, it might shrink his “berries” a bit, but has no effect on his package at all. 2nd, steroids do not cause your jawline to grow, Human Growth Hormone can cause this effect, but that isn’t even technically a steroid and requires high dosages of it for a long period of time to cause that effect.
it can cause “berries” shrinkage. If you know how to cycle and use pregnyl/hcg, you’ll be fine. Broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, stinging nettle root, saw palmetto, tomatoes, garlic, oatmeal, beef, chicken, eggs, salmon, sardines, flaxseed, mixed nuts should be almost all you eat, and a lot of water and vitamins to keep everything where it should be. if you don’t want to fail tests, use testosterone injections, it’s testable for a week at most, nandrolone can be tested for up to a year… Knowledge is key.
