Josh Barnett to Appeal CSAC on October 26

MMA Spot shares some info:

Barnett’s June 25 drug test came back positive for 2a-methyl-5a-androstan-3a-ol-17-one, an anabolic steroid. The CSAC learned of the results July 21 and immediately denied a license for Barnett. After hearing of the denial Barnett quickly proclaimed his innocence and filed an appeal. Now, three months later the commission will hear that appeal. It is expected that Barnett’s case will rely heavily on the results from his “B” sample that was collected at the same time as the sample that was found to be positive.
