News Alistair Overeem suspended for 12 months after testing positive

[helax]

I've always liked Reem but dammit

 

[Ares Black]

I'm shocked. Shocked I say!!

 

[Liverkick-king56]

God I can't imagine how hard Overeem's heart is working. Damn thing is more durable than a Diaz brother with how much Juice it manages.

If he's smart he'll fight a couple keep busy fights with a smaller promotion for money and try to run the tourney as a last run. Dude can't really improve his legacy at this point since at every turn it's been tainted by PEDs but he can still make good money with "Superfights" Glory is always desperate for MMA fighters to be slaughtered by Rico.

There really should be an organization that freely encourages the use of PED's. It worked for PRIDE and they provided some of the most compelling match-ups in the history of the sport.
Ubereem, Vitor, Wanderlei, Arona, some of those guys were juiced to the gills and we as fans are forever greatful to their, *eh-hem*, experimentation. Bring it back.

Yeah I mean if they want to ruin their health with adverse long term effects for our enjoyment ..... Let them do it! There is certainly an audience for it. This should help develop a "clean" pool as well.

Got cut from the UFC and immediately got hungry.

 

[yekmurat]

If he was clean then it was big news

Lol at asking for the b sample. Like bro you know you’re gonna fail again what are you doing?!

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

Convenient suspension length Lol!

Let 40 year olds juice!

 

[Azure]

Had no idea that Glory tested.. Ubereem must not care anymore.

 

[Johnnny]

Competitors over the age of 40 should be exempt from PED testing in every sport.

 

[HerpDerp]

Had no idea that Glory tested

Me neither actually. The fact that they do is pretty much the only surprising thing about this.

 

[PudzianFighter]

Overeem + KSW = Ubereem

Overeem is one of my favorite fighters ever, but yes, he doesn’t belong in any discussion about all time great fighters. No drug cheat does.

I agree. The GOAT is Clint Eastwood. Whiskey and cigars for a diet.

 

[Morris88]

Fuck it, get on everything now. Tren, HGH, 1000mg Test. Do it all and show up in December like a final boss.

Absolutely. One last blowout to end his career.

 

[Bballfan123]

Yeah this isn’t exactly new news, this is the same test failure from the Badr Hari fight. I’m a big Overeem fan, but the guy is 42 years old, has been fighting 24 years, has almost 70 pro MMA fights plus all his kickboxing fights… he should just stop. No need to keep taking damage at all at this point.

Damage? Do you think Overeem can take damage like you or I could? He's like Mother Nature, or Father Time... He exists only to fight and inject anabolic steroids. Hell, I'd be surprised if he consumes food... Probably feeds on some sort of gaseous food source far below the surface of the earth.

 

[Max_P]

I think it's the first time he has cheated. Is he still a Virgin?

Alistair Overeem tested positive after his fight against Badr Hari in October last year, but was still awaiting the results of his B-sample, which may return negative (but now we know it didn’t).
That fight is now overturned to a no-contest, Alistair has been removed from the official heavyweight-rankings and he’s suspended for 12 months (suspension started after his fight against Badr Hari in October last year).

Though, this means Reem still will be able to compete in GLORY's 8-man heavyweight Grand Prix in December this year, as the suspension will have expired by then.
On the other hand, rumours circulated that Overeem would be in talks with KSW. I don’t know if they’re legit, but that could be an option for him aswell.

I honestly dont think he can compete without steroids at this stage (THE VERY END) of his career.

 

[Anthony7]

Bring back Pride or a new test-free league so we can have some fun again.

Lol at asking for the b sample. Like bro you know you’re gonna fail again what are you doing?!

There's hope until the end. Maybe b sample is contaminated or "lost".
