Sean Sherk Caught Using Nandrolone

Best known in the world of mixed martial arts for holding one of the longest undefeated streaks in MMA history, Sean Sherk had the distinction of being the first UFC Lightweight Champion after the lightweight was re-introduced by the UFC.

The former UFC lightweight champion has only four career losses and is regarded by many in the UFC and MMA communities as one of the best lightweight fighters of his era.  Sherk also won the title in a Fight of the Night award winning performance against Kenny Florian at UFC 69: Shootout. He also spent time competing in PRIDE Fighting Championships and Pancrase, the Japan-based organizations, where he was undefeated.

During his fight against Hermes Franca at UFC 73 on July 7, 2007, Sherk tested positive for Nandrolone metabolite and was given a one year suspension by the California State Athletic Commission and fined $2,500. Franca also received the same suspension and fine. Franca admitted to using Drostanolone while Sherk denied allegations. He claimed the positive drugs test was a result of errors in lab procedures.

Sherk also claimed that he passed three lie detector tests and said the suspension had cost him around$500,000 in prize money, sponsorship and advertising, in addition to $20,000 in legal fees. Sherk went on to say that the California State Athletic Commission conducted itself very unprofessionally. The California State Athletic Commission and Quest Diagnostics denied any mistakes but Sherk's ban was reduced to six months.

In 2005, Sherk was invited back to the UFC for a fight with Georges St. Pierre where Sherk lost by TKO. In his next fight after the Nandrolone doping ban, Sherk defeated Nick Diaz via unanimous decision at UFC 59.
