As MMAjunkie.com previously reported (see: Sean Sherks Fate Decided Tuesday) today the California State Athletic Commission held the appeal for UFC Fighter Sean Sherks suspension from a failed steroid test.

According to information received from the CSAC, Sherks suspension has been reduced to six months, from one year. As is standard in suspensions, Sherk receives credit for time already served, which means he is eligible to return to mixed martial arts competition in January.

Sherk, who defended his title with a unanimous-decision victory over Hermes Franca in July, tested positive for elevated testosterone levels and nandrolone, an anabolic steroid, during an event drug test. The event took place July 7 at ARCO Arena in Sacramento, Calif., and the California State Athletic Commission subsequently suspended Sherk one year and fined him $2,500.

Sherks original hearing was set for August. However, after securing the services of accomplished doping lawyer Howard Jacobs, Sherk was granted an extension for the appeal, which took place Oct. 31. However, key paperwork submitted by Jacobs was not distributed to commission members prior to the hearing, and the commission opted to delay the hearing an additional two weeks (to Nov. 13). The CSAC later announced an unspecified delay and a new date of Dec. 4 in early November.

At the time, Sherk called the CSAC behavior during the process ⤽very unprofessional.⤽

As for Sherks title, UFC President Dana White recently told Yahoo! Sports that he was fed up with the CSACs handling of the appeal and that he wouldnt strip the 34-year-old veteran fighter of the title regardless of the commissions decision. However, last month, White said that he will âhonor the commissions decision and strip Sherk of the title if the suspension is upheld. (Its worth noting that the commission doesnt have the power to strip a title; it can only issues suspensions and fines.)

With the committees decision, it is expected that Sherk will face the winner of a UFC 80 main event between B.J. Penn and Joe Stevenson which will award the winner the interim lightweight title.

Without much fanfare, the Ultimate Fighting Championship stripped Sean Sherk of the lightweight championship. Company officials confirmed this information on Saturday before its event in Las Vegas.

Sherk, 34, had tested positive for the anabolic steroid Nandrolone, more commonly known as Decadurabolin, in his July 7 title defense in Sacramento, Calif. where he defeated Hermes Franca. Franca also tested positive for steroids during the fight. Sherk won via five round decision. The California State Athletic Commission, unlike Nevada, doesn’t have the legal authority to overturn a decision based on a positive drug test.

Sherk had appealed the test result, and on Tuesday the commission cut his one-year suspension to six months, but upheld the $2,500 fine. Sherk is eligible to fight again on Jan. 3.

Because the appeal verdict was that his test result was not overturned, it left UFC officials with little alternative, other than set a dangerous precedent had they not decided to strip Sherk of the championship, for a company that has stated a public hard line on steroid use among its competitors.

UFC president Dana White had already booked B.J. Penn vs. Joe Stevenson for the interim championship on Jan. 19 in Newcastle, England. Had Sherk been cleared, he would have faced the winner at the earliest possible date. Now the Penn-Stevenson winner would be the outright champion.

It has not been confirmed whether Sherk would still get the first shot at the winner.
