Ken Shamrock claims pituitary medication led to positive drug test

[Wild]

Ken Shamrock's positive test at Bellator 149 came as a result of pituitary medication he was taking, claims the fighter.

Bellator 149 was a mess. Kimbo Slice tested positive for steroids. Dada 5000 nearly died. And Ken Shamrock tested positive for nandrolone along with methadone. That's not even mentioning the messed up finish to his fight with Royce Gracie. So it only stands to reason that things should get weirder, right?

Well, they just did.

In records obtained by MMA Junkie, Shamrock talked to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, and stated that the positive test came about because of pituitary medication he was taking:

"Respondent stated he is certain the results are not from an illegal substance and believes the results stem from medications prescribed to him…

It saddens me that one of the great pioneers of the sport is reduced to these last years of questionable fights, questionable behaviors in and out of the cage, etc. He should have retired for good after the second Tito fight. I choose to remember the early fights along with his more memorable fights overseas ie. Don Frye. I wish him all the best, but it's best to hang it up and stop making more excuses and behaving as if integrity isn't a word in his household.

Innocent until proven guilty......this is the unfortunate result of a precedent that has been set by someone who is innocent (Romero). It opens the door to all sorts of excuses and blaming everything but yourself. The guy is nearing 60 years old and is more jacked now than he was when he was early 30s......cmon yo, just admit it......

No you don't. Nobody does. Neither should be fighting anymore.
