I think its only fair to link to the apology that Stephan Bonnar posted on his personal website last week. Everyone, including MMAHQ.com, gave Bonnar quite a bit of heat over his NSAC suspension for illegal substances, so I think its only right that we also listen to what he has to say.
Here is a brief excerpt:
I would like to apologize, and ask the forgiveness, of all my fans…including any MMA fans that may dislike me. About 3/12 weeks out from my Aug 26 fight with Forrest, I took a supplement called Boldione which I purchased legally on the internet in 2004. The supplement I-force Bold (which is exactly the same product) is still widely and legally available on the internet, and in health food stores. However, this supplement is not approved for use by the NSAC, and is therefore prohibited for use by MMA fighters. Unfortunately, the supplement produces the same result in a steroid test as the illegal injectable steroid Boldenone.

No, actually he makes a valid point. If it’s not illegal, then it’s not illegal. If you can legally purchase it, then it should be ok to use. If later became banned, then they would need to discontinue its use. I do believe however there is more to the story. Despite his logical reasons the NSAC still fined him and suspended him, so I’m guessing they decided he should have known better.
What a valid point are you talking about ? He has admitted that he knew he was taking a prohibited substance , he just speculated to no get caught .
