NSAC members: Alistar Overeem has questionable doctor

Alistar Overeem, a mixed martial artist, appealed his suspension that was received by him for intake of anabolic steroids on April 24, 2012. But he couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. Alistar Overeem forfeited his license for nine months. Then this fighter will be allowed to return.
Alistar Overeem acknowledged that he had administered injectable testosterone that was advised him by his doctor. Alistar Overeem used the strategy that was considered to be boring. He claimed that he had never applied anabolic steroids or other related medications intentionally. Alistar Overeem tried to make the NSAC believe that his injectable application of steroids was accidental.
David Chenoff, the defense attorney for Alistar Overeem, is experienced in defending prominent sportspersons.
The defense attorney called the personal physician of his client to testify during the appeal. It was believed 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 certain medications that led to Overeem’s elevated testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating doctor of Alistar Overeem acknowledged that he directed and injected this athlete with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he had an injury. Actually, these products are administered for anti-inflammatory purposes. But application of testosterone for recovery from injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is supposed that the doctor Molina hasn’t warned his patient that these remedies contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is obviously that he has never asked about it.
So, testimonies of Dr. Molina turned out to manifest lack of the evidence linked with therapeutic purposes for administration of prohibited medications by Alistar Overeem. The doctor couldn’t present any reasonable explanation which could justify recommendations of Toradol and Dexamethasone to this athlete. Testimonies of the health care provider Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
Actually, it became evident that Alistar 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 athlete.
Pat Lundval, a commissioner, was probably impressed by the defense of Overeem. She even called him 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 individuals, as Dr. Moline. They recommended him to find more qualified professionals in the future.
