The interim heavyweight champion of the UFC lost his recent title fight against Brock Lesnar in July. It was the first loss of Shane Carwin since he joined the UFC in 2008. Carwin is considered as one of the best heavyweight fighters in UFC. He has a clean record, with good fights and no record of any positive test for steroids. His fight with Lesnar was free of steroids based on the steroid tests conducted by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. But Carwin needs to explain the inclusion of his name as one of the clients of Applied Pharmacy Services in Alabama which is involved in the illegal distribution of anabolic steroids.
The name of Shane Carwin was mentioned in the sentencing of one of the respondents in the APS case. The federal court sentenced J. Michael Bennett, a supervising pharmacist at Applied Pharmacy Services, to spend 4 years in jail for participating in a nationwide conspiracy to sell anabolic steroids. Assistant U.S. attorney Donna Dobbins said that Carwin was one of the 22 professional athletes who purchased steroids from the APS. There were records showing the names and initials of athletes and the type of anabolic steroids they ordered.
