Sonnen returned to the sport with a license that granted him exemption for the use of TRT.<\/p>\n<p>As for UFC president Dana White, he stated at the <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/2ufc-on-fuel-tv-7-recap-and-results-ufc-news\/\">UFC on FUEL TV 7<\/a> card that he will be putting together new testing regimens to ensure that fighters aren&#8217;t abusing the privilege of using TRT.<br \/>\nIn response, Chael Sonnen opened up on <em>UFC Tonight<\/em> about his renewed stance:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cFirst off, I admire Dana on many levels. But for me, this is his crowning moment, both as a leader, but also with his integrity. You are never going to find a chief executive of any corporation, be it sport, business or otherwise that shines a light on his own organization and says, \u2018We have a problem.\u2019 Guys, we\u2019re not talking about testosterone use, we\u2019re talking about testosterone abuse.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sonnen also claims that since Dana White&#8217;s announcement of new testing, that he has already been tested:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cThe testing has already started. I can tell you firsthand, I have already been tested since this announcement,\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sonnen will next face rival coach Jon Jones on April 27th in Newark, New Jersey at <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/ufc-159-jones-vs-sonnen-set-for-april-27-in-newark-n-j-ufc-news\/\">UFC 159<\/a>.
