Overeem Fails Random Test 10 times over normal level

[Mitchell C]

my understanding is olympic allows 4:1, Nevada allows 6:1, and Overeem was greater than 10:1. So not 10x the limit. :-)

"10 times over normal level"

As in, 10 times that of a normal human being.

I think it's very wrong to assume that this and that athlete is cheating. Innocent until proven otherwise ...
But if he done roids then he's a stupid fuck and puts everything on the line .... only for getting some muscels!

So quick steroid question..Had he been smart and didn't do a cycle of steroids for this fight, could he have lost any gains he has made on steroids in the past? Cause from the outside looking in, with the commission keeping such a close eye on him you would think he would have been smart and stayed clean especially knowing he was going to get popped with a random a few times.

Overeem’s original test incorrect; T/E ratio actually 14:1 not 10:1

Alistair Overeem’s numbers in his failed drugs test have been confirmed as incorrect, but not in the way that he’d hoped for.

Originally it was reported yesterday by the Nevada State Athletic Comission that the gigantic heavyweight had recorded a testosterone-to-epitestosterone level of 10:1 which was over the enforced 6:1 limit.

Today however, NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer revealed that Overeem’s urine sample actually revealed a level of 14:1 which puts him at more that double the allowed limit.

The average male produces a ratio of around 1:1 and, based on this, the World Anti-Doping Agency uses a 4:1 ratio for positive tests.

Overeem still has the option left to have his “B” sample tested but, in the light of this latest revelation, this now seems unlikely.

In the event of Overeem requesting the test the NSAC will inform its principal drug-testing facility to co-ordinate the test with the stored sample. The heavyweight contender would be responsible for the costs and the results would be ready within a two week period.

No official line has been passed by the company about Overeem’s replacment but with UFC 146 looming, an announcement is expected in the upcoming days.
