Testimonies of Dr. Molina worked against Alistar Overeem

Alistar Overeem, a UFC fighter, appealed his suspension which was received by him for usage of anabolic steroids in April 2012. But he couldn’t win his appeal against members of NSAC. This fighter forfeited his license for nine months. Then Alistar Overeem can come back.
Alistar Overeem acknowledged that he had applied injectable testosterone that was advised him by his health care provider. Alistar Overeem used the strategy which was considered to be boring. He noted that he had never administered anabolic steroids or other related preparations intentionally. He tried to make the NSAC believe that his injectable application of steroids was accidental.
David Chenoff, the defense attorney for Alistar Overeem, is experienced in defending prominent sportspersons.
The defense attorney called the personal health care provider of his client to testify during the appeal. It was suggested that Dr. Molina would testify in defense for this fighter. Testimonies of this physician were quite pitiable. The physician Molina presented an explanation for prescriptions of certain preparations that resulted in Overeem’s enhanced testosterone: epitestosterone ratio.
The treating physician of Alistar Overeem admitted that he recommended and injected this athlete with a mixture of Toradol and Dexamethasone because he suffered from an injury. In fact, these medications are administered for anti-inflammatory purposes. But application of testosterone in case of injuries is not approved by the FDA.
It is believed that the physician Molina hasn’t informed this sportsman that these preparations contain the anabolic steroid testosterone. But it is evidentially that he has never asked about it.
Thus, testimonies of Dr. Molina turned out to manifest lack of the evidence related to clinical needs for usage of banned products by Alistar Overeem. The health care provider couldn’t present any reasonable explanation which could justify prescribing of Toradol and Dexamethasone to this sportsman. Testimonies of the doctor Molina worked against Alistar Overeem.
Actually, it was felt that Alistar Overeem was a victim of the health care provider’s quack.
But it is possible to suppose that this strategy was designed by the defense attorney for this sportsman.
Pat Lundval, a commissioner, was probably impressed by the defense of Alistar Overeem. She even called him a “smart guy”.
The members of the NSAC seemed to be convinced that Overeem has been actually a great guy but he has surrounded himself with such questionable individuals, as Dr. Moline. They recommended him to look for more qualified professionals in the future.
