Former UFC champion Josh Barnett was sidelined in his scheduled bout against the widely regarded number one heavyweight in the world Fedor Emelianenko when he failed to pass his pre-fight drug test carried out by the CSAC, subsequently causing the Affliction Trilogy card to be cancelled.
Barnett himself however denied any wrong doing, “I’m getting punished for something I didn’t do, I know I didn’t take a banned substance, they can say whatever they want but sooner or later the truth will come out” said Barnett. Many spectators of the sport blamed Barnett for the collapse of Affliction but Barnett is adamant that he has nothing to apologize for “apologize for what?” asked Barnett “that’s what a guilty person would do, if anyone is to blame it’s the commission”

I believe you, Josh.
how is the commission to blame? cause they found it? If you didnt do it, PROVE IT. Way to go Josh, you helped push Affliction over the edge.
