Jojomen!
Nevada State Athletic Commision har gjort ett arrangemang de är nöjda med.
Citat:
The Nevada State Athletic Commission today granted Overeem a conditional license to face Lesnar on Dec. 30, subject to a pre-fight drug test to be submitted in Europe within the next 72 hours, as well as an additional screen submitted in the U.S. when the Dutch heavyweight arrives for the contest.
Overeem's conditional license also includes two post-fight drug screen orders, to be completed less than six months after the bout.
The decision was made during Monday's Nevada State Athletic Commission monthly meeting, which took place at the Grant Sawyer State Office Building in Las Vegas.
Overeem's status for the bout was in doubt after he failed to comply with out-of-competition testing ordered by the NSAC on Nov. 17.

Both Overeem and Lesnar were asked to submit screens, and Lesnar did so on Nov. 21. Overeem followed suit on Nov. 23, but the collected screen did not meet the commission's standards. A second test was submitted to Overeem's personal physician ("a sports doctor," according to the fighter) on Dec. 7, but the results of the screen have yet to be determined, and the NSAC admitted some doubt as to whether the sample had even been collected.
"When I got the request to test myself, I took the test straight away," Overeem, who is currently in his native Holland, tending to his ailing mother, told the commission via phone. "I went to the doctor, and he had me steroid tested. I went in for the results, which took 10 days. When I finally got the results, I submitted them, and I thought that that should be sufficient for the commission. But after a couple of days, I received notice that it was not sufficient, and I needed to do more testing. So I went back to the doctor straight away and I had my second test done with the full parameters that was provided by the NSAC, and that was taken last Wednesday, Dec. 7. The results of the test are due seven to 10 days from Dec. 7, so I'm expecting them this week."
The commission ultimately placed much of the blame for the testing delays on Overeem's assistant, Collin Lam (who admitted having no prior experience in assisting a professional athlete), who they believe exhibited a faulty sense of urgency in relaying their requests on to his client. The commissioners all expressed their belief that Overeem was being honest during his time under oath.

An afterthought to the drama surrounding Alistair Overeem's licensing situation for UFC 141, the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Monday handed out referee and judging assignments for his headlining fight on the pay-per-view card, as well as the main event of "Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine."
Veteran referee Mario Yamasaki has been assigned to Overeem vs. Lesnar while Patricia Morse-Jarman, Glenn Trowbridge and Doug Crosby will judge the UFC 141 main event.
Herb Dean, who recently was voted "Best Referee" at the 2011 World MMA Awards, is the third man in the cage for Luke Rockhold vs. Keith Jardine, and Adelaide Byrd, Marcos Rosales and Junichiro Kamijo will serve as judges for the Strikeforce main event.
