Former UFC No. 1 Middleweight and Light Heavyweight contender Chael Sonnen is slowly returning to the spotlight after a short hiatus following two failed drug tests this past summer.
Sonnen premiered his “You’re Welcome” podcast this morning, and started off with an explanation as to why he is not sorry for failing the aforementioned tests: (Courtesy of MMAFighting):
People were saying, ‘why won’t he say he’s sorry?’ I’m not. I’m not going to apologize because I’m not sorry. I’m a consenting adult. I knew exactly what I was doing. This was a premeditated decision.
Here’s the problem, is that it worked. The problem is, it helps. There’s a term out there, performance enhancing drug. The reality is, it’s all medicine. All medicine is made to make you better. If it did the opposite, it would be malpractice. You’re not going to the doctor to say give me something to make me worse. I was taking things and they were making me feel a little better.”
