At the very least Sonnen would have elevated levels of red blood cells, which would have increased his endurance and thus his performance. The other half of that is elevated test is the only thing he tested positive for, doesn't mean thats all he was taking.
Does AAS help people avoid punch's? Maybe not, but its the exact same analogy that Mark MacGuire used when he said AAS doesn't help you hit a round ball with a round bat....... maybe not, but when you do hit it it goes a lot further and what would have been a long fly ball becomes a homerun.
The numbers speak for themselves.
Victor Conte did a great post on another board regarding what he was giving Shane Mosely, and speculated what Manny Pachaio is likely taking, and how exactly how a fighter will benefit from AAS.
In his opinion the biggest benefit would be increased endurance.
Sonnens performance was due in part to his non-stop pace.
