    All the test results for the Strikeforce/EliteXC co-promoted “Shamrock vs. Baroniâ€￾ event on June 22 have come back and there has been another suspension handed down. Main event fighter Phil Baroni, according to the California State Athletic Commission, has tested positive for Boldenone Metabolite and Stanozolol Metabolite, two common anabolic steroids.

    The CSAC stated to MMAWeekly.com that, “[Baroni] has been fined $2,500. His suspension period runs from the conclusion of his bout on June 22, 2007 through the remainder of his licensing year, which is May 1, 2008. Furthermore, he has been assessed an additional 51 days in order to fulfill the terms of his suspension (365 total days). The additional days will be added at the beginning of his next licensing year when he reapplies.â€￾

    Baroni lost the bout with Frank Shamrock by TKO having passed out due to a rear naked choke at 4:00 of round 2.


    lol...and the reaction from Baroni's camp:

    Quote:
    It was revealed today by the California State Athletic Commission that Phil Baroni has tested positive, following his June 22 bout with Frank Shamrock, for Boldenone Metabolite and Stanozolol Metabolite. Both substances are anabolic steroids sometimes used in the treatment of animals.

    MMAWeekly.com contacted Baroni's manager Ken Pavia, who gave the following statement:

    “While we respect the process and intent of the tests, we are disappointed with the results as they are completely unexpected. Phil did not knowingly ingest these drugs, which we are told are veterinary in nature.

    We intend to explore all rights that are afforded by the state commission and Armando Garcia [executive director of the CSAC].

    Phil Baroni feels that worse than any fine or suspension is the disgrace to himself, his family and his fans. As such, he asks that judgment be withheld until all facts are in evidence.â€￾

    Pavia stated that they intend to appeal and are applying to the CSAC to be heard at their August 6, 2007 meeting in Los Angeles.

    I always knew he was a junky.I'm glad its official now:clap:
