Alistar Overeem became victim of his physician’s quack

Alistar Overeem, a UFC fighter, appealed his suspension that was received by him for usage of anabolic steroids in April 2012. But Alistar Overeem couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. This fighter lost his license for 9 months. Then Alistar Overeem can obtain it again.
This fighter acknowledged that he had used injectable testosterone which was advised him by his physician. Overeem used the strategy which was considered to be boring. He claimed that he had never used anabolic steroids or other related medicines intentionally. Alistar Overeem tried to make the NSAC think that his injectable usage of steroids was accidental.
David Chenoff, the defense attorney for Alistar Overeem, is experienced in defending well-known athletes.
The defense attorney called the personal health care provider of Overeem to testify during the appeal. It was supposed that Dr. Molina would testify in defense for this athlete. Testimonies of this health care provider were very miserable. Dr. Molina presented an explanation for prescriptions of certain medicines which led to Overeem’s enhanced testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating doctor of Alistar Overeem admitted that he indicated and injected this fighter with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he suffered from an injury. In fact, these medications are utilized for anti-inflammatory purposes. But intake of testosterone for recovery from injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is believed that Dr. Molina hasn’t warned this fighter that these medicines contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is evidentially that he has never asked about it.
So, testimonies of Dr. Molina turned out to manifest lack of the evidence related to therapeutic needs for administration of banned products by Alistar Overeem. The physician couldn’t present any reasonable explanation that could justify recommendations of Toradol and Dexamethasone to this athlete. Testimonies of the doctor Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
Actually, it was felt that Overeem was a victim of the health care provider’s quack.
But it is possible to suggest that this strategy was designed by the defense attorney for this fighter.
The commissioner Pat Lundval 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 individuals, as the health care provider Moline. They advised him to find more qualified professionals in the future.
