UFC Lightweight Champion Releases Statement

In the statement UFC Lightweight Champion Sean Sherk maintained his innocence regarding his positive test for Nandrolone following his July 7, title defense against Hermes Franca.

"At the present time I cannot explain the positive drug test in Sacramento California. I know I have never used any steroids or any other banned substances, I am investigating possible causes of my positive test with my attorney. I have never cheated, all of my success has come from hard work and dedication to my sport."

Sherk's appeal will go in front of the California State Athletic Commission on August 6 along with those of
Wes Combs, Danny Batchelder, James Toney, Phil Baroni, Hermes Franca and Hong-Man Choi. The meeting will be open to the media and the general public.
