Members of NSAC advised to Alistar Overeem to look for more qualified doctors in future

Alistar Overeem, a mixed martial artist, appealed his suspension which was received by him for administration of anabolic steroids on April 24, 2012. But Alistar Overeem couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. He forfeited his license for nine months. Then this fighter will be allowed to come back.
This fighter admitted that he had administered injectable testosterone that was advised him by his physician. Alistar Overeem utilized the strategy which was considered to be boring. He noted that he had never utilized anabolic steroids or other related medications knowingly. He tried to make the NSAC think that his injectable application of steroids was accidental.
David Chenoff, the defense attorney for Alistar Overeem, is experienced in defending prominent sportspeople.
David Chesnoff called the personal health care provider of Alistar Overeem to testify during the hearing. It was supposed that Dr. Molina would testify in defense for this athlete. Testimonies of this physician were very miserable. The doctor Molina presented an explanation for prescriptions of several preparations which resulted in Overeem’s elevated testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating doctor of Alistar Overeem admitted that he recommended and injected his patient with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he had an injury. In fact, these medicines are used for anti-inflammatory purposes. But usage of testosterone in case of injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is believed that the health care provider Molina hasn’t warned this fighter that these products contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is evidentially that he has never asked about it.
Thus, testimonies of the health care provider Molina turned out to display lack of the evidence connected with clinical needs for administration of prohibited products by Alistar Overeem. The health care provider couldn’t provide any reasonable explanation which could justify prescribing of Toradol and Dexamethasone to his patient. Testimonies of the health care provider Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
In fact, it was felt that Alistar Overeem was a victim of the physician’s quack.
But it is possible to suggest that this strategy was designed by the defense attorney for this sportsman.
Pat Lundval, a commissioner, was probably impressed by the defense of Alistar Overeem. She even called him a “smart guy”.
The members of the NSAC seemed to believe that Overeem has been actually a great guy but he has surrounded himself with such questionable persons, as Dr. Moline. They recommended him to find more qualified professionals in the future.
