Late last night, Josh Barnett issued a statement regarding this suspension and removal from the Affliction: Trilogy fight card.
My Response
Many of you are wondering what’s happening. What I can say is that when applying for my license, the CSAC asked for me to submit a urine sample for testing prior to granting my license as they do with everyone, I believe. It was not a random test. I had no reason to believe there would be any issues and went in to submit my sample at the earliest possible opportunity on June 25th. I never once thought there would be a problem.
My representatives and I are working to gather as much info as possible and handle this situation as best as we can. I am embarrassed and want for nothing more than to resolve this issue and receive a license from the State of California as I have done many times already and for other states as well.
I am very thankful for all the great family, friends and fans that still support me.Sincerely,
Josh

Yea, thanks Josh, that explains everything, thanks for being very clear in addressing the issue…
there is NO excuse for having roids in his system. after Sherk got popped and claimed he was given tainted supplements, everyone should have taken note and been a LOT more careful about what they are taking, so again no excuses. this is not the first time Barnett has been caught and claimed innocence so i will be very surprised if he proves himself this time, seeing as he still claims innocence but has never provided this “proof” he has.
what a ***** retard… and what the **** is affliction waiting on finding a new openant??? they need to hurry the asses up!! been almost two days now!!
