Josh Barnett finds a new career after positive test?

"So I am thinking about using the nickname 'The Goat' for my next professional wrestling match. Your thoughts?"

"So I am thinking about using the nickname 'The Goat' for my next professional wrestling match. Your thoughts?"

What do you do when you test positive for steroids for the second (or is it the third?) time in your fighting career?

Why you go to Japan to be a professional wrestler

[Barnett] will wrestle on Aug. 9 for Inoki Genome Federation in Japan. Barnett's manager, Shannon Hooper, confirmed the news with FanHouse on Tuesday. 

After that Barnett could also fight in Japan as they don't have any official steroid testing policy. Sherdog weighs in on what awaits Josh, 

But the Japanese scene is nowhere near as healthy as in Pride's heyday: October's Dream show will be the last on the Tokyo Broadcasting System channel, which creates serious doubt about their future; Sengoku is on better footing, but that's due in part to their reasonable spending. In contrast to Pride's substantial roster, only Hidehiko Yoshida and possibly Takanori Gomi stand out as fighters making an income there that would appeal to Barnett, who competed there twice. Whether they can still afford him is another matter.
