Alistar Overeem, a mixed martial artist, appealed his suspension which was received by him for intake of anabolic steroids on April 24, 2012. But Alistar Overeem couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. Alistar Overeem lost his license for nine months. Then Alistar Overeem may receive it back.
This fighter admitted that he had used injectable testosterone which was recommended him by his health care provider. Overeem utilized the strategy which was claimed to be boring. He claimed that he had never applied anabolic steroids or other related preparations knowingly. He tried to make the NSAC think that his injectable use of steroids was accidental.
David Chenoff, the defense attorney for Alistar Overeem, is experienced in representing prominent sportspeople.
David Chesnoff called the personal health care provider of his client to testify during the appeal. It was supposed that Dr. Molina would testify in defense for his patient. Testimonies of this health care provider were too miserable. The physician Molina provided an explanation for recommendations of several drugs which resulted in Overeem’s elevated testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating physician of Alistar Overeem acknowledged that he recommended and injected his patient with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he suffered from an injury. In fact, these medicines are administered for anti-inflammatory purposes. But intake of testosterone in case of injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is supposed that Dr. Molina hasn’t warned Alistar Overeem that these remedies contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is evidentially that he has never asked about it.
Thus, testimonies of Dr. Molina turned out to display lack of the evidence connected with medical purposes for usage of forbidden medicines by Alistar Overeem. The physician couldn’t provide any reasonable explanation which could justify prescribing of Toradol and Dexamethasone to his patient. Testimonies of the doctor Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
In fact, it became evident that Overeem was a victim of the doctor’s quack.
But it is possible to suggest that this strategy was designed by the defense attorney for this mixed martial artist.
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 Overeem has been really a great guy but he has surrounded himself with such questionable persons, as the health care provider Moline. They advised him to look for more qualified professionals in the future.
