Oveerem suspended until December by Nevada Commission
The Dutch alistair overeem is suspended by the Nevada Athletic Commission until December 27, 2012. The heavyweight caught a nine-month hook after being caught in the UFC 146 surprise drug test, held earlier this month, during the show's press conference .
BUT: Overeem has testosterone levels 14 times higher than normal
At the trial, which took place this Tuesday (24), in Las Vegas, Overeem pointed out that an anti-inflammatory, used to treat an injury to the left rib, was responsible for the result shown by the exam. But for Keith Kizer, the organization's executive director, Alistair tried to flee the MGM Grand Hotel, the venue for the press conference, to escape the test. A fact that worsened the Dutchman’s situation.
