Sherdog.com is reporting that suspended MMA fighter Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva has sued the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) to overturn the CSAC’s ruling to suspend the former EilteXC fighter.

From Sherdog.com:

“Silva is asking for a “writ of mandate,” or a ruling from the court that will supersede the CSAC’s decision to suspend the fighter for one year for alleged steroid use and possibly allow Silva another hearing to try and prove his innocence.”

Neither the CSAC’s suspension nor the suit against the CSAC is going to stop Silva from fighting in Japan, says his agent:

“He’s going to fight in Japan until we figure this out,” said Davis. “If he has to fight in Japan forever, like I said, he just doesn’t have a choice.”

Exiled to Japan after testing positive for Boldenone seems like a permanent vacation. But not really. It’s like David vs. Goliath — if David had acromegaly, a disease that makes you keep growing and growing and Goliath was a somewhat inept commission that may not be doing what they should.
