Didn’t Sherk pop hot just after this?
Good memory
Steroid accusationsEdit
In July 2007, Sherk successfully defended his title against
Hermes França at
UFC 73.
[18] After the fight, the
California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) announced that Sherk had tested positive for
Nandrolone, a banned
steroid, in a
urine test the day prior to the fight. After testing positive for 12 ng/ml of Nandrolone, Sherk was fined
$2,500 and suspended from competing in
California for one year.
[19] Sherk's suspension was reduced to six months after appealing his allegations on December 4, 2007, making him eligible to fight in early January 2008.
[20] Sherk argued that errors were made in lab testing procedures. He asserted that the lab had failed to properly test the vials used in earlier, positive tests for any remaining steroid content, which may have resulted in his sample becoming contaminated.
[21] Quest Diagnostics and the CSAC denied any errors were made.
[21] Following the CSAC's decision to uphold the results of the positive steroid test, the UFC officially stripped Sherk of his UFC Lightweight Championship
