Never knew he was such a colorful character, and that's saying alot. A little copy & paste from Chael Sonnens Wikipedia page:
Urinalysis conducted after his first loss to Anderson Silva showed Sonnen had an unallowably high testosterone/epitestosterone (T/E) ratio of 16.9:1 at the time of the fight. An average man has a T/E ratio of 1:1, and testing bodies may allow a ratio as high as 4:1 for athletes undergoing TRT treatment. In other words, Sonnen's T/E ratio was nearly 17 times than a normal man's and over four times the allowed maximum for an athlete.
Sonnen ran as the Republican candidate for the 37th district of the Oregon House of Representatives in 2010. In June of that year, he dropped out of the race, vaguely referring to a "2006 legal issue" involving real estate.[65]
On January 3, 2011, Sonnen pleaded guilty to money laundering in connection with mortgage fraud. After agreeing to testify against others involved in the investigation,[66] he was fined $10,000 and sentenced to two years probation.[67] A licensed realtor in Oregon, Sonnen, as the agent for a home sale in 2006, told the title company to pay a plumbing company owned by Sonnen's mother[68] for repairs, even though he knew that they would not be carried out. After the mortgage company agreed to the loan, the plumbing company was paid $69,000 and, at Sonnen's direction, paid the home buyer $65,000.[69]
On May 5th, 2013, Sonnen announced that he would like to buy the WWE.
