Kimbo Slice and Ken Shamrock both tested positive for a steroid and Kimbo recently addressed his positive test and the issue of steroid use in MMA with GNP1TV (transcribed by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloodyelbow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bloody Elbow<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe the guy (from the laboratory) used the same glove from Ken&#8217;s shit and touched my shit, I don&#8217;t know,&#8221; Slice said of his positive test. Shamrock, who fought Royce Gracie in the main event also tested positive along with Slice <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/kimbo-slice\/kimbo-slice-ken-shamrock-test-positive-steroid-shamrock-also-pops-opioid\/\">for the steroid nandrolone<\/a> in a pre-fight drug screening.<\/p>\n<p>Slice went on to give his opinion on testosterone levels in MMA.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re fighters man, we&#8217;re a little bit older than normal, we&#8217;re on a professional level of entertainment. You gotta look at athletes, like really professional athletes, and officers, and firefighters, who really put their bodies and themselves through what&#8217;s not the norm. Like, the average guy would be at the desk or at the TV for example, his testosterone levels don&#8217;t need to be that high, because he&#8217;s just chilling at his job. But when you&#8217;re working a job, when you&#8217;re a entertainer, when you put your body through some serious workout, I think your levels should be a little bit above normal, because you gotta be able to compete on a professional level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think the commissioners should really blackball fighters for having to use a little extra vitamins to perform. &#8216;Cause we&#8217;re entertainers. We perform on a high level. We put our body through some extreme workout to entertain the public and the media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The commissioners should sit down and come to an agreement on what levels should be okay. You understand where I&#8217;m coming from? The levels should be okay for professional entertainers on that level. You know, not so much like some guy who&#8217;s doing this for a living. We&#8217;re not those guys. We&#8217;re just performing for a certain time. So yes, our levels should be just a little bit above normal. That should be okay in the professional world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on Kimbo&#8217;s words?
