Few additional details have been released regarding Chael Sonnen‘s reported failed performance-enhancing drug test at UFC 117.
If found guilty, Sonnen could face up to a one-year suspension from the California State Athletic Commission, which would obviously put his title rematch against Anderson Silva, currently scheduled for Jan. 2011, on ice.
However, Silva’s manager, Ed Soares, told MMA Fighting Sunday that he has yet to hear from the UFC regarding any change of plans.
“I’m going to consider the fight being a fight until told otherwise,” Soares said. “If it is a mishap, I hope this whole thing gets straightened out.”
