Sherk released a short statement yesterday, "At the present time I cannot explain the positive drug test in Sacramento California. I know I have never used any steroids or any other banned substances, I am investigating possible causes of my positive test with my attorney. I have never cheated, all of my success has come from hard work and dedication to my sport."

For his sake, if he's telling the truth, he better have some proof. Or else, he'll be suspended and won't be able to fight for a year.

That's not the UFC's rules...that would be the suspension from the California State Athletic Commission.
