According to California State Athletic Commission Executive Officer George Dodd, Chael Sonnen has been informed that he failed post-fight drug screening, which took place after his UFC 117 loss to Anderson Silva. Dodd would not get into specifics, but said that all fighters from UFC 117 had passed drugs-of-abuse scans, but that they were waiting on the final performance-enhancing drug screens from that event. Anderson Silva’s manager Ed Soares had the following to say on the news…
“If it’s true, I feel really bad for him. I know he did it to himself but it is really sad, he put on such a great performance that night. It is just a shame it will be tarnished.”
If these allegations prove true, the proposed rematch with Silva in February would be off as Sonnen would face a yearlong suspension.
