Chael Sonnen testade nyligen positivt för andra gången i år, då han hade både tillväxthormoner och EPO i kroppen. Efter händelsen valde både UFC och FOX att klippa alla band med Sonnen, men Dana White tänker inte stänga dörren helt för Chael.
Här kan ni läsa vad Dana hade att säga, via ”MMA Fight Corner”:
It breaks my heart. I care about Chael very much. Me and Chael have had a very good relationship behind the scenes. He’s a great guy. He had four banned substances in his body. What are you going to do? It is [discouraging]. The relationship that I have with him, when he took the test I would expect him to come to me and say, ’Hey listen, I’ve got some bad news for you.’ You know? It sucks.
I care about the guy very much and hopefully, you know, it all depends on how he handles it. America is a very forgiving place for guys who do the right thing. You see what happens with the guys who dig their heels in and try to battle it. It doesn’t work that well for them.
Nästa gång vi ser Sonnen i tävlingssammanhang blir vid grapplingtävlingen Metamoris 4, som valt att ha kvar Chaels match trots positiva testresultat.
