Welcome to Frank Pozen's Big Bad Blog. A lot of folks have been asking me to update them about my recovery. So I thought I would start a blog primarily to do that but also to talk about other topics of interest including the wrestling business and whatever else I can think of. I plan to update this on a regular basis so check back and leave a comment if you wish.

Carina Damm busted for steroids
Anyone who follows MMA knows that guys getting busted for steroids is nothing new. But today for the first time a female fighter was caught with her hand in the steroid cookie jar. The California State Athletic Commission announced that Brazilian fighter Carina Damm tested positive for Nandrolone following her win over Sophie Bagherdai at the Apr. 3 Fatal Femmes Fighting show in Los Angeles. Her nanogram count was 37.9ng which exceeds the threshhold of 2ng. The CSAC has suspended Damm for one year and fined her $2500. She does have the opportunity to appeal. Damm was scheduled to fight Debi Purcell at the June 27 ShoXC/Strikeforce show in San Jose. Debi says she has been in contact with EliteXC officials and expects to have a new opponent shortly. Because EliteXC signed Damm based on her Apr. 3 performance, I would not be surprised to see them void her contract.

I was at that fight and she kicked ass. Bummer about the steroids. I can't wait to see her fight again.
