Sherk was clean both prior to and after his bout at UFC 84, Kizer said. He also passed when he was tested randomly prior to his UFC 98 bout.

Guys who are accused of murder were given more rights than I was in this particular situation, Sherk said.

I lost tons of sponsors, Sherk said. Basically, I can’t get a nutrition company to sponsor me. None of them want to touch me. I’ve had people straight up tell me they don’t want anything to do with me because of the steroid stuff.

The way our sport is evolving is incredible, Sherk said. The next group of guys coming in are a lot more well-rounded than the group of guys they’re replacing. It’s a constant improvement process. I want people to look at me and say, ‘This guy did everything he could to be a complete fighter,’ and not look at me and think of me as a guy who cheated and took a shortcut.
