I’m actually happy to see the CSAC taking this situation seriously and reacting harshly. After all the EliteXC drama, they need to be.

I’m sure that’s one of the reasons the CSAC would look harshly upon Silva fighting in Japan.

when davis says “fight the biggest names out there”, he means go to places where they don’t test for steroids

Well, it is indefinite technically because he has to go before the CSAC to be reinstated. But, he has the right to do that in one year, just like Hermes Franca did. Unless the CSAC reinstates him, it’s unlikely any other athletic commission in the U.S. will let him fight. If he fights in Japan, the CSAC will take that into consideration when they decide whether or not to reinstate him.

Wow. So this is an “indefinite” suspension? I thought it was only a one year suspension. I wonder why the CSAC chose such a harsh punishment.
