CSAC: Baroni Positive for Two Types of Steroids

Middleweight Phil Baroni (Pictures) tested positive for Boldenone and Stanozolol Metabolites, the California State Athletic Commission announced Tuesday afternoon. The 31-year-old from Long Island, New York has been fined $2,500 and suspended 365 days from the conclusion of his loss against Frank Shamrock (Pictures) on June 22 in San Jose. The final 51 days of that suspension will be fulfilled at the start of Baroni's next licensing year, should he decide to reapply.

Baroni joins Carter Williams who was suspended six months and fined $1,000 following a positive test for cocaine, as the second fighter to test positive for banned substances following the Strikeforce/EliteXC co-promoted card.

All other fighters on the card have been cleared by the CSAC.

Doh!

Is Pro-Elite just handing this stuff out in the locker room or something?

Baroni will never ever get a chance in the UFC now. And even after the fight i was beggining to respect Phil, what a shame

Big shame........

Guess thats a wrap on old Phil's career... Like the rest of you guys, I was just starting to like him after that fight... Oh well.

Whoops. . Damn it Phil........

Hey, it's not all sad news for Phil. Maybe they'll ressurect the Toughman contests and he can fight there again

what a dumb decision to make.

Ya, no shit!!! Baroni is what Frank claimed....I hope he is happy with his 50 g's, cause thats all he's gonna see from fighting for a year.

Was never a big fan of Shamrock, but Baroni is making him look good.

Thats no good. The thing that I find strange about steroids is that usually the fighters who are using them have lackluster performances.

everyone acts surprised...

first off he is a former body builder, second he is with hammer house, and to top it off he is a dumbass

Steroni!as Frank put it!

whats up with the hammer house? are they known for being steroid users? i mean i heard about the randleman incident but have others been caught peein dirty?

I agree with everyone that i started to really respect baroni after that fight. He went out their and really gave it his all. But now he ruined it forever. Who would have thought Frank Shamrock would come out of this looking so good.

No way not Baroni he would never do that....

The best juicehead eva!

Wow no one saw this coming i mean if your going to roid at least when the thing as my boy nick diaz did yeah sure he blazed but he still got the victory.

too bad the roids still can't give him a good gas tank...

baroni is so dumb
