Sean Sherk Pulls a Nick Diaz? UFC Fighter's Injury Pops up Right Before Random Drug Test

Sean Sherk has already tested positive for steroids. Because of that in his background, he will always be among the first called for pre-fight tests. There is always a cloud of doubt surrounding him, there always will be. Yesterday, that cloud thickened. According to the Wrestling Observer:
Word of the injury got out on the evening of 9/2, a few hours after he was scheduled to take a random drug test by the California State Athletic Commission. He didn’t get on the flight to California and when he no-showed, UFC informed the commission that Sherk was injured and was off the card
Injuries happen all the time in MMA. Training for the fights is often more grueling than anything that happens in the cage. Sherk may very well be injured. But because of his past, there will be that nagging doubt, that sinking suspicion that he faked an injury to avoid a drug test he wasn't ready for. He will be replaced in his fight by Josh Neer.

Considering the number of retail supplements that contain banned substances without declaring them, I believe Sherk when he says he wasn’t intentionally taking anything illegal.

It’s at Sean Sherk’s house. He crosses it to the island where he hides all his illegal steroids.

Well, the issue is clearly that steroids shouldn’t be illegal in the first place.

Your liver disagrees. They guys who don’t want to destroy their bodies and their longterm health disagree.

Your post needs some citations of medical studies showing that steroids, when taken responsibly, in correct dosages, by healthy men, destroys bodies. Unfortunately, that evidence doesn’t exist. www.dea.gov probably has some good stuff about marijuana causing heart attacks and spontaneous human combustion if you want to do a piece on Diaz. Also, alcohol should be banned because it destroys livers.

Steroid conspiracy theorist! A rare sighting!
Alcohol is a red herring here. Not a performance enhancer.

At least Josh Barnett had the guts to go in and fail his steroid test like a man. Why is this shitbird still in UFC?

Even Diaz was like ‘LOL, no way I can take that test, I’m high.’
