Chael Sonnen, who fell just short of dethroning longtime UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva at this past month's UFC 117 event, failed his post-fight drug screening likely due to performance-enhancing drugs.

That's according to California State Athletic Commission Executive Officer George Dodd, who alerted Sherdog.com of the failed test.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) could reach neither CSAC officials nor Sonnen for confirmation and reaction.

According to the report, Dodd did not state which banned substance was detected in the failed screen. An official announcement is likely to come in the next few days.

Sonnen is likely to face a long layoff either in the form of a suspension or if he plans to appeal the findings.

Damn!

It will be intersting how this will play out. Sean Sherk got a 1 year suspension, fought it and had it reduced to 6 months. Even if he gets a slap on the wrist it looks like the rematch will not happen in February.

No matter what I'm sure Chael will find a way to talk himself out of it.

Chael Sonnen to Appeal Positive Drug Test
9/21/2010 12:46 PM ET By Ariel Helwani

Chael Sonnen's camp has released a statement for the first time since it was reported last Saturday night that the middleweight contender tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug following his UFC 117 loss to Anderson Silva.

In an MMA Fighting exclusive, Sonnen's manager, Mike Roberts, wrote that Sonnen will appeal the California State Athletic Commission's claim that he tested positive for "abnormally high" levels of testosterone and that Sonnen will break his silence on the matter in the coming days.

"It is our policy not to comment on pending actions by the Athletic Commission. Chael is consulting with his legal advisors and physicians and will have a statement in the near future. Chael will file an appeal with the CSAC and looks forward to working with the Commission to resolve this matter."

The 33-year-old reportedly received formal notice of his test failure last Friday and has 30 days in which to file his appeal. Once he does file his appeal, it will be heard at the next CSAC commission meeting on Dec. 2 in Sacramento, Calif.

Sonnen is subject to an automatic one-year suspension and $2,500 fine. He was scheduled to fight Silva in a title rematch in Jan. 2011, but that fight is obviously on hold until the CSAC makes a final ruling on the case.
The CSAC has yet to officially announce the positive drug. They were expected to make an announcement Monday afternoon.

lol, oh snap!

Chael needs to come clean and tell the truth.

And we all know the truth is that Chael took gakic and got an immediate 500% increase in strength. His backne was simply due to an allergic reaction to a new soap he tried.
