UFC 94 fight overturned,Kim still undefeated,Karo suspended 9 months & fined 32k

[goh]

"The Nevada State Athletic Commission on Tuesday suspended welterweight contender Karo Parisyan for nine months, fined him $32,000 and ruled his split decision victory against Dong Hyun Kim a no decision in wake of a positive test for three banned painkillers at UFC 94 "St. Pierre vs. Penn 2" in January.

The penalties -- he will also be forced to submit to random testing during his suspension -- were levied against Parisyan at an NSAC hearing in Las Vegas. The 26-year-old judoka, who has a well-chronicled history of panic attacks, was flagged for suspected use of Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone and Oxymorphone."

That was a pretty garbage fight but I was kind of happy to see him win. Hopefully Karo comes out through this suspension mentally alright. He's had a rough couple of years.

Sounds like it's gonna be a really rough coming year if things are as bad as he says...I highly doubt they take it easy on him.
