Mixed Martial Arts\' Ken Shamrock Busted for Steroids

On February 13th, UFC hall-of-famer Ken Shamrock got a quick win over super heavyweight Ross Clifton at the Wargods “Valentine’s Eve Massacre” in Fresno, CA. Unfortunately, after the fight, Ken tested positive for 3 types of anabolic compounds classified as steroids – Stanozolol and two Nandrolone-based substances: 19-Norandrosterone and 19-Noretiocholanolone; according to a statement issued by the California State Athletic Commission on February 18th. Ken was hit with an immediate year long suspension and fined $2,500. His camp adamantly denied the allegations and is appealing the charges.

GIVE ME A FREAKIN’ BREAK!! While I’m not a doctor, a chemist, a sports medicine professional, or even an athletic trainer, I am a 36 year old male of above average intelligence, who has been lifting weights, competing in sports, and around athletes of all levels for most of my life. So to Ken I say – stop the charade and take your punishment like a man. Have a little more respect for your fans and the people who are still willing to watch your washed-up, 45 year old ass get into the ring against tomato cans so that you can collect the money that wasn’t available to you 15 years ago when you deserved it! Really!

As I watched the replay of the Shamrock vs Clifton fight on Youtube, I immediately called a friend of mine, who is a Ken Shamrock fan, and said to him, “you’ve gotta see how juiced up Ken Shamrock is!! He must be on some crazy stack! He’s so pumped…and he’s got veins popping out of his bi’s and shoulders…it’s crazy! He better hope they don’t test him”. Then a day later, the news broke. I’m not claiming to be a genius, but rather am pointing out that it was so incredibly obvious that he was on some heavy shit. In my opinion the CSAC could have convicted him just based on his appearance. When was the last time you saw a 5’10″, 45 year old man with a six pack, 20 inch arms and shoulders that look like bowling balls?

I may actually be a bit more savvy than the average sports enthusiast or MMA fan, as I’ve worked out in hardcore gyms (as well as the health club type gyms like NYSC and Bally’s) throughout New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania since the age of 15. I’ve had workout partners who were 100% natural and partners who have been on more drugs than bodybuilding’s Mr. Olympia. So I can pretty much look at someone and tell you whether or not they are using, and I may even be able to call out their drug(s) of choice, how long they’ve been on, and even when they went off cycle.

So when Ken tells us he’s clean, I say – what a jerk-off!! And I’m singling Ken out this time, but this goes for anyone who denies it when they get caught. If you get caught, man up to it and take your punishment. Everyone knows the rules and the consequences for breaking them, so just grow some balls and take your medicine the same way you took the sauce – bent over with your pants down. Is this to say that every drug test is 100% accurate and conclusive? No. And that there aren’t some over the counter supplements that can produce a false positive? No. But really, when you’re a known juice-head like Ken, whose own brother even outed him numerous times, just have a little respect for the public who pays to watch you fight. Don’t treat us like a bunch of idiots.

I think most fans will have more respect for those who get caught, if they admit it. It doesn’t make it right, or excuse them from their due punishment, but it makes it easier to continue to root for them. Nobody likes a cheater, but everybody hates a coward.

In my opinion, the guys who are getting pinched by the athletic commissions today are pretty stupid, or their trainers are numbskulls. If you want to cheat, learn how to do it without getting caught. And if you are a cheater who hasn’t been caught yet, keep your mouth shut, consider yourself lucky, and don’t press your luck.

Don’t interpret this post as me taking a stance against performance enhancing drugs. In fact, to the contrary, I’m actually for the legalization of drugs in sports. I am however, totally against cheating. And as the rules of sports stand today, using PED’s is illegal.

For now, let me leave you with the following long list of known users and a short list of suspected users.
