Sean Sherk issues statement about failed drug test

The following is his statement:

“At the present time I cannot explain the positive drug test in Sacramento California. I know I have never used any steroids or any other banned substances,
I am investigating possible causes of my positive test with my attorney. I have never cheated, all of my success has come from hard work and dedication
to my sport.”

His hearing is going to be on Aug 6, 2007 before the California State Athletic Commission.
