Nate Marquardt’s fate is still undecided.
The Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission was scheduled to meet last week to deliberate on Marquardt’s recent suspension due to elevated levels of testosterone, but that meeting was postponed. Sherdog.com confirmed Thursday with PSAC Executive Director Greg Sirb that the commission will meet next week to discuss the fighter’s suspension, with a decision likely to be rendered Wednesday, July 13.
Marquardt was suspended by the PSAC in June after a prefight test revealed his testosterone levels to be too high for competition. As the fighter explained last week in an interview with MMAFighting.com, Marquardt began testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in summer 2010 after experiencing mood swings and other symptoms. Marquardt was placed on TRT by his primary care physician before applying for a therapeutic use exemption in New Jersey prior to his fight with Dan Miller at UFC 128 in March.
