Mixed martial arts legend Royce Gracie (Pictures), best known as the slender gi-wearing Brazilian who twisted oversized competitors into knots during the early days of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, tested positive for Nandrolone Metabolite following his decision win over Kazushi Sakuraba (Pictures), June 2 in Los Angeles, the California State Athletic Commission revealed on Thursday.
Gracie has been suspended from June 2, 2007 through May 30, 2008, and is fined $2,500, the maximum penalty the CSAC can hand down.
The 40-year-old Gracie has 30 days from the date on his suspension letter to appeal.
Calls to Gracie's representatives were not immediately returned.[i]
Poor Gracie, atleast he won the fight I think <,<
I found a poor man once
He was the age of fifty-three
He spoke about the government
And the thought of being free
What good does us reason if we fail to see?
What good does us freedom if we fail to be free
