Ken Shamrock Slapped With One-Year Suspension After Positive Steroid Test
Such is the sad life of Ken Shamrock — even when he manages to snap a five-fight losing streak by submitting a morbidly obese man with no submission defense or the ability to get to his feet after he's fallen to the mat, he still had to cheat in order to do it. Kevin Iole passes along the bad (though fairly unsurprising) news:
Well hey, it looks like his brother Frank was right all along. But of course, nobody in this sport actually takes steroids — they simply take legal supplements that happen to secretly have steroids in them. And Ken is hoping that this dependable defense will keep him out of hot water:
Right. Good luck with that. In our eyes, the real innocent victim here is Roy Jones Jr., who had a pretty damn respectable lineup of fights going for his first foray into MMA promotion. Supporting the boxing main event of Jones vs. Omar Sheika would be Shamrock vs. Lashley, Seth Petruzelli vs. Doug Marshall, and Jeff Monson vs. Roy Nelson. Now, Shamrock's stupidity has sunk the co-main event, and Kimbo-slayer Seth Petruzelli is off the card due to an injury suffered during training. On the bright side, maybe Lashley will now get a replacement opponent who'd be able to survive past the first minute with him — and doesn't need chemicals in order to do it.

Richard Tucker Says:
Isn't Shammy a Christian who just talked about how he used to "cheat on the sport"? What a joke...
MMA-hole Says:
@ Richard Tucker:
Actually, Mark 13:16 says "And Jesus did proclaim to his disciples, 'if thou ain't cheatin', thou ain't tryin'."
Big Ben Says:
The worst feeling in the world is when Frank Shamrock smiles through the metal in his mouth and mumbles, "I tolmbed ooo swo. (I told you so.)"
Matt Herpes Says:
I don't know why athletes pay big money for steroids when they can just get that over-the-counter shit with the same ingredients for cheaper.

FAS Says:
Has anybody else noticed that that "COOL!" guy hasn't been around here lately? I don't want to jinx us, but did he get bored and move on?
Contraband Says:
didnt he say in that video he had of himself that using roids was cheating on his wife and family and friends and fans

Potato Index:
Steroids -345
Let's see...
Tim Sylvia, Baby Fedor, now Ken Shamrock. Man, steroids just aren't as impressive as they use to be.

good GOD i hate when Frank Shamrock is right.

Noretiocholanolone: It's Sham-tastic.
El Famous Burrito Says:
Here's an idea:
Ken Shamrock vs. Tim Sylvia in a all-substances-allowed match in the Dominican Republic.
The whole thing could be co-promoted by Don King and A-Rod's cousin.
Gold, Jerry. Gold.
BuckWild Says:
No, shammy said he cheated on his wife !
Also.. I wonder which sups he took that he thinks made him test + ?
Old, Bald and Irish Says:
NO WAY!
...what an ass.
Juan Blanco Says:
Just look at his bitch tits! Sham has been on the gas for years....
auzzy Says:
Wow i cant believe i have more respect for Tito Ortiz then Ken. Anything he says or does from now on should just be ignored, just try to remember the old, (i mean back in the day kind of old) Ken shamrock. Kind of like when your awesome grammpa that was cool when you were a kid is all spongebath and slobber, you just remember him as the guy who took you fishin and gave you candy.

No Ken Shamrock for a year?!
FUCK YEA!
Criminally Negligent Says:
I really don't know why these idiots keep taking steroids. They know they are going to get tested, especially if you're in the main event. Nevada's new "any time testing" policy should further deter people... unless your Lyoto Machida and train in the middle of no-where Brazil where the commission can't reach you to tell you that you need to get test a la the situation before he fought tito. Not saying lyoto's on steroids at all, just sayin' that's about the only way to avoid the testing.
bobzemuda Says:
It's funny. I'm watching the third season of TUF on DVD right now and the whole time I keep thinking I need to run immediately to the bathroom to scrub myself down with lye because I keep thinking: "next to this douche Shamrock, Ortiz is a surprisingly nice guy."
emptyhandkiller Says:
What a complete buffoon! You can tell when Shamrock is on the juice again, in particular his triceps and front delts get huge. He is a waste of cagepotato space, and at least he is gone for a year. I really like his "confession", where he admitted he cheated on his wife, on the sport, and on the Lord! Har-de-har-har!!!
And, by the way, I STILL want to challenge Old, Bald, and Irish to a drinking contest! O.B.I., I am now up to a case of tequila a week. You cannot beat me.
andrewm Says:
I'll sum this up:
BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
grilla lives Says:
gutted, i would never have wanted Ken to let his true fans down like this, it ruins legacys, although he has been doin that for himself for a while now, its still a huge shame
AC Says:
So did he use the same nose-spray as Sidelnikov?
Fully Says:
Someone needs to put Ken Shamrock down.
Anon_ Says:
Why is this any suprise, I've talked with people who used to train with Ken back in the LD days in Chula Vista... and even they said back then he was doing all kinds of drugs while competing and training... Like it wasn't unsual for him and the boys to go out on a drinking/bar spree, noses full of COKE and then go back for a 2 am training session at the LD. hahaha straight losers.
Even in some of his older Pride fights you can tell he was juiced, especially when he'd gas out so fast... Fools a has been...but no sure why anyone is suprised that it finally caught up with him... all these fools getting busted now...obviously their cycles our out of date.
FAIL!
Jack Booted Thug Says:
Good news: No Ken Shamrock for 12 months. Bad News: An even cockier, gloating Frank Shamrock.
Anonymouse Says:
In a way this kind of sucks, because now he'll probably be doing more commentating...
Your Dumb!!! Says:
And now I can start marketing all these "Jesus didn't Juice" t-shirts

Mikey Gilz Says:
How come no one has made one of those pictures of Ken Shamrock holding his belts.... How easy would it be to superimpose WWF Tag and Hardcore titles next to his mma belts?
Anon_ Says:
LMAO
JPFighter Says:
These are truly shocking allegations. Preposterous. Incredulous. Ludicrous. Outrageous. Perfidious. Insidious. Surreptitious. Duplicitous. Fallacious. Erroneous. Suppositious. And certainly treacherous. FREE KEN SHAMROCK! It wasn't the juice, it was tainted Badger Milk. Fact.
Ample Says:

Anytime its Frank or Ken i just sink into my chair hoping there's a better article after it.

"And, by the way, I STILL want to challenge Old, Bald, and Irish to a drinking contest! O.B.I., I am now up to a case of tequila a week. You cannot beat me."
...whoa, whoa WHOA!
Nobody told ME about your drinking challenge!
Dude, do you know what your dealing with?
First off, hit me up on the Forums section and drop me a line if ya wanna get in touch with me. I check it daily.
A case of tequila...a week? Color me skeptical, but impressed. That's 9 bottles, right? With or without worm?
I'm sure we can come up with some kind of videotaped challenge. But I gotta warn ya, I can consume some impressive amounts of liquor.
My all time record is as follows:
• 36 beers
• 3 joints
• 2 lines of crank
• 1 tab of acid
...all within about a 12 hour period.
I suppose the fact that I was 16 years old prevented me from ending up dead.
The result was my first hangover ever. It was also one of my worst hangovers ever.
Geez....ya'd think after all these years I'd learn my lesson. And here I am tryng to set up a drinking challenge with a guy who's chuggin' a case of tequila a week.
...I just can't back down from a challenge....
