Ken Shamrock tests positive for steroids

[FunFun]

Cage fighting is extremely dangerous to a person's health. The possible negative effects of AAS use is minimal in comparison.

What rules specifically do you feel should be repealed. Knees to a downed opponenet? Soccer kicks? Knees to the head from side mount?

Yes, all of the above. Makes for much better, and most times shorter fights. Also any fighter should know how to defend these things. Bring back head buts also.

Not only are elbows to the back of the head illegal in mma, they are completely unnecessary in 99% of street fights.

Not so. They tend to "soften" them up enough to get the choke.

99 times out of 100 a UFC fighter will beat someone who trains to "survive on the streets" in a no rules fight

Really? Where do these stats come from? So, who do you think will win all else being equal in the street? The straight up play by the rules guy or the bite your nose and ears off, knee you in the nuts anything goes guy? Skill levels being the same.

Ya and like all of them are not on steroids. Fuck this is why I hate the fact that this sport was main streamed like it has been. It used to be a real blood sport and at the time never tested for steroids like a bunch of pussies.

Bring back hank the tank. I remember one of shamrocks first fights was against this beast of a man. Now that is a real fight. This sport is turning for the worst. More gay rules, all this stop the fight bull crap and testing for steroids.

A+ to that .....

SHAMROCK SUSPENDED FOR A YEAR AFTER TESTING POSITIVE FOR STEROIDS
- The fight between Ken Shamrock and Bobby Lashley looks like it will not
happen as former UFC champ and WWE Intercontinental champion Ken Shamrock
was suspended for one year and fined $2,500 by the California State Athletic
Commission for testing positive after his fight against Ross Clifton last
month. 'The World's Most Dangerous Man' tested positive for a cocktail of
Stanozolol, Norandrosterone, Noretiocholanolone steroids according to the
Los Angeles Times. Shamrock won the fight against his big opponent and it
was his first win in a couple of years. We had Shamrock on Ringside Live a
few weeks before the actual fight and when asked what's his plan going in
against a much larger opponent, Shamrock said that the plan is "to avoid
getting hit!" I guess he forgot to mention the steroids part.

IT just suprise me that a professional athlete dont know the proper protocol to pass 'clean'
they often run the wrong compounds and at the wrong times.

About fifteen or more years ago they had underground fights on HBO. These were fights. I remember one guys name was "Bad Karma" He was a real figher. He said that he met a Shaolin Monk when he was small and the guy taught him how to fight. And watching him fight I beleived him.

Does anyone remember when he was in WWE? He was jacked. 245 and cut. He said he was benching 500 and dead lifting and squating over 600. Then when he came back to the UFC he had dropped down to 205 and looked like shit. All in less than a year.

I've known for a long time that Shamrock was on roids. Ever since his very first performance in UFC 1 it was clearly obvious he was. When you've been in this game long enough you can easily spot a roid user. Some other very obvious roid users in MMA were Mark Coleman, Keven Randleman, Frank Shamrock, Vitor Belfort, and Mark Kerr. These are and were some of my favorite fighters btw.

These were some of my favorite fighters as well.

perryscon, most of those guys im pretty sure have tested positive at some point in time. i also read on a t-nation post once by trainer x(i guess he didnt want his name out and about) that 90% of these athletes are using gear, and more power to them. Im 21 years old on gear and i still find it physically exhausting to train at teh gym 3 or 4 times a week and get a few hours of mma training in a week, these guys in my mind need it to survive in the sport, and make it more exciting for the fans.
