Antonio Silva Will Never Fight In USA Again?

Alex Davis, who is Antonio "Big Foot" Silva's manager recently told http://www.Tatame.com that his fighter will never fight in the USA again:

“I’m absolutely sure that [Silva] didn’t take boldenone or any other prohibited substance. The hearing with the Commission was a joke, they didn’t listen to the evidence. I continue to completely support Bigfoot and I accept any consequence that will come to me, but we’ll continue our fight until the end. Their hearing (on February 10) is to screw us, but we’re going to civil justice against them. It is the first time that this will be done, we’ll go until the end. We’re right and we’re not afraid of them, they’re wrong. They tried to coerce us (not to fight in Japan) and now they sent a letter to Bigfoot. We’re here, we’re not going to run away. If it’s necessary, Bigfoot fights until the end of his life in Japan, that’s not a problem.”

Suspended fighter Antonio Silva filed a civil action against the California State Athletic Commission on Jan. 7 in Los Angeles Superior Court, the first known case in which a mixed martial artist has legally contested a CSAC decision outside the state regulatory body.

Silva is asking for a "writ of mandate," or a ruling from the court that will supersede the CSAC’s decision to suspend the fighter for one year for alleged steroid use and possibly allow Silva another hearing to try and prove his innocence.

Silva's camp means buisness on this one.

Nothing is decided yet, fellows. Big Foot and NSAC have to expect the civil court veredict.

Big Foot could be banned from California but not all USA, Big Foot told me last week.

He is spending a lot of money to prove his innocence while he could only wait the suspensio expire. On the contrary, the fighter wants to show to everyone that he is not culprit.

Hopeful Big Foot wins this battle. War Antonio Silva.
