Sean Sherk hearing postponed
The Fight Network is reporting that Sean Sherk's appeal has been postponed again and this time until possibly December 4th. Here's what they had to say:
The California State Athletic Commission today confirmed the postponement of UFC lightweight champion Sean Sherk's Tuesday, Nov. 13 appeal hearing for a steroids-related suspension. CSAC associate governmental program analyst Bill Douglas cited scheduling conflicts as the reasons behind the delay. The hearing has not yet been rescheduled, though Douglas said a replacement date for Tuesday, Dec. 4 is likely. To hold a CSAC meeting, a quorum of five of the seven board members must be present
Sherk recently had an interview with MMA Weekly where he talked about the interim lightweight title and the appeal with the CSAC. Here's a little snippet of the article:
"It makes me real angry," said Sherk about the appeal process with the CSAC. "They had a lot of time to prepare for my case and they weren't prepared and now I'm the one suffering for it. I'm the only one suffering in this whole situation. I mean, I'm sitting here and I feel kind of helpless.
"I'm in the hands of the California commission and I don't know if they're not taking this case as serious as they should or what the deal is, but it's real, real frustrating for me."
He also had the following comments about the interim lightweight title:
"To be honest, even an interim title doesn't make me too happy," Sherk said emphatically. "This belt hasn't been taken away from me, it's still my belt. If I get cleared from my hearing to fight, I'm eligible to fight right now, so I don't think that the idea of an interim title... it doesn't make me too happy. I'll just have to fight whoever wins that fight."
"If somebody wants to wrap that belt around their waist and call themselves champion, I think it should be me. Otherwise, it's just a little fake belt."
Sherk's gone through a lot of shit to try and clear his name and I think i honestly believe he didn't knowingly take steroids but the simple fact of the matter is that he tested positive for steroids. If appeal causes the suspension to be lifted then yeah the interim title is stupid, but if he's found guilty and has to serve a years suspension then there should definately be a interim lightweight title, well Sherk should be stripped of the title anyways, but thats another point.
