I am fully aware of what acromegaly is. What you failed to mention is that the disease causes an excess of growth hormone in the body. Now if he really had this disease why in the hell is he taking Novadex XT. Novadex XT is a "testosterone booster" . Taking this supplement would be just a dangerous as taking Boldenone or any other roid for that matter. Gaspari's website states that this supplement may cause a false postive. If he knew this a took it anyway, he is just plain stupid. The guy is a hulk, he does not need any roids or supplements to be effective. What he does need is better representation. If he is innocent then he should have gotten off, because the facts would have been on his side. Let's keep MMA clean, Pro Bodybuilding is a joke because of the rampant roid use. If they do not uphold the suspensions of the cheaters, then MMA will be like pro Bodybuilding or even worse - Pro Wrestling in a few years.

I think he should lost his entire purse for that fight. I also think that if you Test positive once that you should be tested every fight for the rest of your career. CHEATERS CHEAT and Chearters are rarely quiters.... meaning he will do it again If you have to cheat to win then you prolly shouldnt be allowed to play…..$2500 seems like a small fine.

This disease also makes it extremely dangerous to take steriods(like Boldenone), which IMO would make it highly doubtful that he would take something deadly to him even if it did enhance his preformance. Also relating to this case and unmentioned by the writer of this article(not sure why) is that the 100% legal over-the-counter nutritional supplement Novodex has been documented to cause false positives for Boldenone.
