Greeley resident Shane Carwin, one of the top fighters for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, was identified as one of 22 professional athletes who ordered steroids from an operation based in Mobile, Ala., that has led to the arrests of several Weld County residents.
The Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register newspaper reported Friday that Carwin's name was revealed during the sentencing of J. Michael Bennett, the supervising pharmacist of Applied Pharmacy Services. Bennett was one of five men convicted in February 2010 of steroids charges; among the others is Brett W. Branch of Eaton.
Carwin's manager, Jason Genet, said Sunday that Carwin had no comment but would make a statement after his investigation into what was revealed.
Carwin has never failed a drug test in his professional fighting career.
The time period for the steroid operation was from 2004-06. Carwin made his mixed martial arts debut in October 2005 and started fighting for the UFC in 2008. On July 3, he nearly won the heavyweight title from Brock Lesnar in the first round but lost it in the second to a choke submission.
The list of athletes who ordered steroids from the company includes Kurt Angle, a professional entertainment wrestler and Olympic gold medal-winning wrestler, Brendan Kirby of the Press-Register reported.
