UFC Fighter on Steroids

Chris Leben - the (American) UFC fighter with a well known background as a participant on the 'Ultimate Fighter' TV show - reportedly tested positive for anabolic steroid (Stanozolol) use after losing his fight at UFC 89 in the UK, according to mma.fanhouse.com.

It's being said that Leben is one of the highest-profile MMA fighters to test positive for these performance-enhancing drugs.

The steroid known as Stanozolol is the same substance that was used by former Olympic sprinter Ben Johnson from Canada and (former) baseball player Rafael Palmeiro. Also Tim Sylvia, the former UFC heavyweight champion, has been found testing positive to the steroid.
