Carwin on Roids? Speculation of Release.

Bennett had been convicted in 2008 on steroid charges, along with several others, and was recently sentenced to four years in prison. At Bennett’s sentencing, Assistant U.S. Attorney Donna Dobbins revealed a list of names of athletes that had obtained drugs via the conspiracy. The conspiracy itself resulted in 762,388 dosages of steroids being shipped to 17 doctors and clinics in a two-year period, according to reports. Names on the list included pro wrestlers like Kurt Angle, professional bodybuilders like Toney Freeman and Quincy Taylor, and of course, UFC star Shane “The Engineer” Carwin. So far, Carwin has not commented on this scandal, although his manager recently revealed that a statement was in the works.

If it proves true, I think this could be damning for both Shane Carwin and the sport of Mixed Martial Arts as a whole. This would prove that one of the UFC’s biggest potential stars is chemically enhanced. It sends a message to the public that the UFC may not be as squeaky-clean as it touts itself to be, and it sends a message to prospective fighters that one of the quickest ways to the top is through the juice, considering how quickly Carwin skyrocketed to the top of the pecking order and found himself challenging for a championship. It casts a black mark on Carwin’s entire career, which up until now has had near-unstoppable potential even with his recent loss to Brock Lesnar. Carwin was destined for great things, but now that his name may forever be tied to this conspiracy, he may be branded with a Scarlet Letter and even released from the UFC.

I hardly doubt that he's the only big name UFC star on the juice.

Especially in sport where you aren't guarenteed money and you may need to heal from an injury quickly just so you can get a pay cheque. And where fighters may not be active for months at a time and will let themselves go, and within 10 weeks are in world class shape somehow.

Josh Barnett, anyone?

I will fight you. :mad:

GSP is just naturaly sexy.

I could be wrong, but I believe that they (Carwin, Angle, etc) recieved the sterioids a number of years ago (When Carwin was still on the regional circuit). Which if it is the case won't really affect his UFC Status.

Yeah, this case as far as I know is several years old.

well still, his victories on roids got him into the ufc, and its not like your body loses all the benefits once you stop using the roids.

FUCK YOU JAMSTAR

it's a bit of a weird one. people are in too much of a rush to claim roids for any guy who gets big though. these guys train like 5 hours a day, eat right, take all other kinds of non-roidy supplements, of course they're going to be huge. and don't the ufc test everyone post fight?

carwin has a full time job though and still does... he was not training like that back then, if he even is now

i thought he wasn't doing that anymore? i'm sure i heard it mentioned he's a full time fighter now.

no he is a full time engineer

An engineer would use steroids...it just...makes...sense.

GSP doesn't need steroids, his blood is pure testosterone.
