CSAC is the BS

CSAC is the BS

Take a look at some of these medical suspensions given out from the Affliction card. Fedor and Sylvia both could be out 180 days from a 36 second fight. Terry Martin gets KTFO, but has a suspension 25% of the length of Vitor.

The full list of suspensions included:

* Fedor Emelianenko (def. Tim Sylvia): Suspended 180 days with no contact for 180 days due to a right-hand injury (can be cleared early by an orthopedic doctor)
* Tim Sylvia (lost to Fedor Emelianenko): Suspended 180 days with no contact for 180 days due to a left-elbow injury (can be cleared early by an orthopedic doctor)
* Ben Rothwell (lost to Andrei Arlovski): Suspended 60 days with no contact for 60 days due to an ear-lobe laceration (can be cleared early by a doctor); minimum suspension of 45 days with no contact for 30 days for precautionary reasons
* Edwin Dewees (lost to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira): Suspended 180 days with no contact for 180 days due to undisclosed reasons (can be cleared early by an orthopedic doctor); minimum suspension of 45 days with no contact for 30 days for precautionary reasons

Comments

These are recommended guidelines. If you notice many of them can be cleared early by a doctor. I think what these guidelines do is prevent a fighter from trying to come back without a doctor check-up. I think this is very smart. It protects the fighters.

Yes Pramit they are "recommended", but I can't recall a list of suspensions like this, its just another odd addition to the story of the CSAC and MMA
