Op-Ed: Lyoto Machida’s 18 month suspension is unfair and disproportionate

Before reading this article, you may want to read my piece explaining exactly what 7-KETO-DHEA is, what it does, and how it’s different from DHEA.

I’m going to break down the facts of Lyoto’s suspension, but first, let’s play a little game. In this game, you decide which offense was worse.

Person #1 took two banned substances, one of which can double the testosterone of a healthy man. He received them in a pill from a teammate, who had purchased them from a site that advertised the sale of banned substances. He never checked the label or even asked where the pill came from before he took it.
