| Sherks future to be decided today UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk, who’s appealing a $2,500 fine and one-year suspension due to a failed UFC 73 drug test, will learn his fate today. Sherk’s hearing with the CSAC is set for today at noon ET/9 a.m. PT in Los Angeles. Sherk, who defeated Kenny Florian for the vacant title in October 2006, endured shoulder surgery before making his first title defense against Hermes Franca in July. Sherk earned a unanimous-decision victory, but two weeks later, the CSAC reported that Sherk tested positive for elevated testosterone levels and Nandrolone, an anabolic steroid. As MMAjunkie.com first reported a couple months ago, Sherk and his attorney — well-known sports-doping attorney Howard Jacobs — are expected to argue that Sherk may have unknowingly taken legal supplements that triggered the positive test. A source close to Sherk told MMAjunkie.com that the fighter’s legal team was having numerous supplements tested to see if one or more of them contained illegal substances. Sherk claims he only took supplements that he purchased over-the-counter. If his suspension is upheld, UFC President Dana (who’s been one of Sherk’s biggest supporters), says he’ll have no choice but to strip the 34-year-old fighter of the title. If that happens, B.J. Penn and Joe Stevenson are expected to fight for the vacant title. UFC 79 on Dec. 29 is a possible — but not a definite — date for the title fight. MMAjunkie.com | |||||||||||||||
