Or secret M1 reps.

[KNUBB]

They are just protecting Brock. Can't have his shit getting kicked in 2 fights in a row

Overeem is one shady m'fer.

Bolts town right before a drug test, then takes the wrong test "by accident" in Holland. Then he waits like 8 more days to take the correct test.

If those mystery test results come up dirty, he's toast in the U.S.

[Liquidrob]

How did he 'bolt' when he bought the ticket before they asked him to take a test?

THE REEM using advanced physic techniques?

[Warner2BruceTD]

Here's what Lesnar did when he got the call....he immediately walked into a hospital, took the test, and moved on.

Here's what Overeem did - bolted to Holland, dicked around, took the wrong test (oops!), dicked around, dodged the commission, finally took the test, and now the results are mysteriously non existent.

[Liquidrob]

Warner2bruce if off, that's what happens when you get info from kevin iole

[Liquidrob]

This is what overeem did, purchased ticket to visit sick mother, they asked his assistant to take test 4 hours before flight, he flys to holland to visit his dieing mom

[Liquidrob]

I don't know, but as someone who just got back from an impromptu trip to kansas to visit my wifes father who just learned he has cancer I can sympathize

Alistair Overeem was given a conditional license to face Brock Lesnar on 12/30 after an issue arose due to the timing of drug testing.
Overeem and Lesnar were both called on 11/17 and told to submit to an out of competition drug test by the end of the business day on 11/18. Brian Stegemen, a rep for Lesnar, said that because of where Lesnar lived in rural Minnesota, there was no place nearby for a test, but did go a hospital, got all his tests done on 11/21 and all his tests came back clean.

Nobody representing Overeem had even contacted the commisison as of 11/21. Overeem's representative was called at 2 p.m. on 11/17 and Overeem took a 6 p.m. flight out of Las Vegas to Holland to be with his mother who is battling cancer. Overeem testified he was unaware of the request to test him when he got on the plane and didn't get the word until several days later.

On 11/21, Keith Kizer of the Nevada commission called the UFC and informed them that he had not even heard from Overeem. Kizer was told Overeem was in Holland and would be tested. He took a blood test, not a urine test, on 11/23. A blood test would test elevated testerone levels but would not necessarily show use of any other anabolic steroid. It should be noted he was told to take a urine test, not a blood test, but he claimed he never was told which specific test to take. His test didn't show an illegal level of testosterone when the commission received the results on 11/30.

He was then told to take the urine test. Overeem did not take the test until 12/7. The results are not back in at this point.

The gist of the ruling is that the test on 12/7 has to come back clean, he has to take another urine test when he arrives in the U.S. for the fight, and the commission will randomly test him at least twice over the next six months.

Anyone who does not find that timeline/course of action suspicious is either lying, or the most naive person ever.

I hope he passes the results of his so-called urine test that he supposedly took, because I want to see this fight. But holy shit is this guy slimy.

no story here

obviously a guy is not going to move his camp to Las Vegas and than fly back to Holland to move his camp again because he is avoiding a drug test, why even come to Vegas in the first place?

He purchased the place ticket to go back to his mom BEFORE he knew of the drug test, no way he could have taken the test 4 hours before his flight to HOLLAND, the guy is getting his shit together to continue training while trying to get to his mother

Plus he has new management during all of this, sometimes these things happen in MMA

[Warner2BruceTD]

no story here

I bet you would think this was a story if Lesnar pulled this nonsense.

[Liquidrob]

probably not, I don't care for the TMZ style reporting that the current MMA MEDIA favors

I care about match ups and style breakdowns, leave that stuff for the hacks

[Warner2BruceTD]

But the story turned out to be true.

A participant in what will likely be the biggest fight of the year having a licensing issue is a real story, and a much bigger story than a fight breakdown.
