Alistar Overeem, a mixed martial artist, appealed his suspension that was received by him for administration of anabolic steroids in April 2012. But Alistar Overeem couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. This fighter lost his license for nine months. Then he will be allowed to receive it back.
Alistar Overeem acknowledged that he had utilized injectable testosterone which was advised him by his physician. Alistar Overeem utilized the strategy that was considered to be boring. He claimed that he had never administered anabolic steroids or other related products intentionally. Alistar Overeem tried to make the NSAC believe that his injectable administration of steroids was accidental.
David Chenoff, the defense attorney for Alistar Overeem, is experienced in representing well-known sportspersons.
David Chesnoff called the personal doctor of Alistar Overeem to testify during the hearing. It was suggested that Dr. Molina would testify in defense for this fighter. Testimonies of this doctor were quite poor. The physician Molina provided an explanation for recommendations of several medicines which led to Overeem’s enhanced testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating doctor of Alistar Overeem admitted that he prescribed and injected this athlete with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he had an injury. In fact, these medications are utilized for anti-inflammatory purposes. But usage of testosterone in case of injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is suggested that the health care provider Molina hasn’t warned this sportsman that these drugs contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is obviously that he has never asked about it.
Thus, testimonies of the health care provider Molina turned out to show lack of the evidence connected with clinical purposes for intake of prohibited products by Alistar Overeem. The doctor couldn’t provide any reasonable explanation that could justify prescribing of Toradol and Dexamethasone to his patient. Testimonies of the physician Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
In fact, it became evident that Alistar Overeem was a victim of the physician’s quack.
But it is possible to suggest that this strategy was designed by the defense attorney for this sportsman.
Pat Lundval, a commissioner, was probably impressed by the defense of Alistar Overeem. She even referred to him as to a “smart guy”.
The members of the NSAC seemed to be convinced that Alistar Overeem has been actually a great guy but he has surrounded himself with such questionable persons, as the doctor Moline. They advised him to find more qualified professionals in the future.
