legal- n.

1. One that is in accord with certain rules or laws.
Let's play the definition game:

it is not nessessary that you call something legal or illegal in terms of government law.
The commission is a regulatory body. If a fighter is called to a disciplinary hearing by them, he has none of the rights afforded him by law (right to attorney, due process, etc.) His guilt does not have to be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, technically, it doesn't have to be proven at all. In other words, just because lie detector results aren't admissable under the strict rule of law, doesn't inherently make them meaningless in other contexts.

Quote:
the commission who dictates "any fighter caught fighting with the use of illegal substances is subject to punishment" is stating a legal term.
First, where is your quote from? Second, if Sherk had tested positive for Benadryl, he would still be getting a punishment from the commission. Sherk is accused of violating the terms of his license agreement. That's it. It's not about legal or illegal actions.
