Barnett vs. Fedor Cancelled & TRILOGY Cancelled **Update**

[NWOWolfpack]

Many of you are wondering what's happening. What I can say is that when applying for my license, the CSAC asked for me to submit a urine sample for testing prior to granting my license as they do with everyone, I believe. It was not a random test. I had no reason to believe there would be any issues and went in to submit my sample at the earliest possible opportunity on June 25th. I never once thought there would be a problem.

My representatives and I are working to gather as much info as possible and handle this situation as best as we can. I am embarrassed and want for nothing more than to resolve this issue and receive a license from the State of California as I have done many times already and for other states as well.

I am very thankful for all the great family, friends and fans that still support me.

Sincerely,


Josh

Scrapping the whole event a week out.............................

Can you imagine the UFC canceling UFC 101 a week before the event..........

Without Fedor v Josh i wouldn't have spent $54, sure does suck for the rest of the fighters.

IF HAD BOUGHT NON-REFUNDABLE PLANE TIX I WOULD BE PISSED

this sucks so hard, we only get to watch Fedor fight maybe twice a year and we were one week away from a Fedor fight but Barnett screwed it up, seems like he also put the final nail in Affliction's coffin. atleast some solid fighters will have the chance to move to UFC now.

“I just want to say I don’t understand why people are blaming Affliction,” said Rothwell. “What are they supposed to do in this situation? It isn’t their fault Josh [Barnett] tested positive for steroids. From what I understand, this is a business decision and it comes down to losing a little money or a lot of money. What would you do?”

Rothwell, who is hoping M-1 picks up his fight for their August 28 show in Los Angeles, implicated Barnett as the guy who should be feeling the brunt of MMA fans anger.

“I blame Josh Barnett,” stated Rothwell, “if anyone deserves to be criticized it’s him.”

M-1Global.com was able to catch up with M-1 fighter Gegard Mousasi in the wake of Affliction’s decision to cancel “Trilogy.” Mousasi, clearly disappointed, was only willing to give a brief statement on the matter.

“The only thing important for me is what will be done for the fighters who all trained really hard for these fights,” he told us. “It’s very difficult for me and the other fighters who have put a lot of time and energy in their training and now are treated like this because a fighter is caught on steroids? It’s all politics and I can do nothing but wait (and see) what will come of out this.”
