Then why is Creatine and Protein ok?
Those powders aren't natural.
Are you trolling ?

My question was.. How do you know that is the determining factor as to why he needs TRT now. Could that contribute, sure. Is it possible that just like any other older man his testosterone levels are just dropping... Yes.
Busted once means he was doing for long periods of time?
Plus he was a kid. Hopefully you don't still get shit for the things you did as a kid..
Here is a question ... why should people NOT take something that makes them young again?
If you are near 40 ... why wouldn't you want to feel like 25 again?
It's available for everyone ... so what's the problem?
People are on creatine and whey protein ... are these really any different?
Because everybody can take creatine and protein, it's still an even playing field...
My favorite part is this
"My ranges are even lower than the normal. I did everything I should do."
Flatout lie, they define Normal as the peak a human has in their lifetime. That range is no longer normal when you're 30+. If it was lower than HIS normal then what would be the point of taking it.
He did fail a test 8 years ago, but there are guys years younger then him who are on it.
I'm not intersted in the past, if this guy juiced, if this guys clean, whatever. It makes no difference to me, TRT is TRT, the benefits are the same. The past makes no difference at all.
That's why the people why try to single guys out annoy me much more then anybody who defends it, as they are doing it out of bitterness and not for the sport. You either support it or you're against it, a guys past isn't going to make a damn difference when they step into the cage pumped with TRT
This might be the single dumbest thing I've read in a long time and I hope you are trolling.
It was funny how he did his trademark "say a lot of words" when confronted with the failed drug test. Ariel could have pushed him more, but would probably have gotten another gibberish answer "I don't talk, I fight, I'm the lion"
Nothing wrong with doctor prescibed medicine when you follow the posology.
TRT is not the problem, cheaters are.
And everyone who has lower than normal testosterone can take TRT ... so again ... what's the difference?
Perhaps you know more about the subject then me, so let me know if I'm off base. But isn't the natural occurrence of low testosterone rare for people younger then 40? I read that it's 1 in 200. For young professional athletes (who tend to have high T levels) the odds of this occurring are REALLY low.
In my mind, statistically there would be one, maybe two fighters in the UFC that this effects. Given that TRT usage is more prevelant, I suspect abuse.
Am I wrong? I don't see why these guys are given a pass for prior steroid use. It seems like Dana agrees and believes there is TRT abuse.
Hate to call someone out who has a Charlie Bronson av, but be careful... that's pretty blatant fighter bashing.Ok, whoever believes he really NEEDS TRT is a fckn idiot.
Vitor is a liar, a cheater and I hope Rockhold knocks him out.
The TRT issue really brings out the people who are truly stupid and very easily convinced of things.
Change the name of something... and people believe it's something completely different to what it actually is.
TRT is legalised steroid taking. It's as simple as that.
Ask yourself why he isn't fighting in the US anymore. Only in Brazil. There's a reason for that.
So steroid use is the ONLY way for testosterone production to drop? Well, you just solved it! I'm sorry for doubting you doctor!
...oh wait, homie, it's not the only way for testosterone production to drop. So you didn't prove anything. There are multiple reasons why Vitor could need TRT, and yes steroids are one of them. But we don't know what that reason is so unless you're his doctor and you do actually know that it's because of steroids, stop making baseless assumptions. It's getting old, not just from you but from everybody on this site who automatically thinks "TRT? THEY NEED IT BECAUSE OF STEROIDS!" It doesn't work that way. There are more ways to need TRT than just steroids so steroids isn't always the answer. Get that through your head.

This isn't something that you hold the fighter accountable for. All athletes can and really should be expected to get the maximum edge they can, there's nothing wrong with that.
If there's a problem here, it's with the regulation. It isn't something you bash on a fighter over, because EVERY intelligent fighter would do anything they possibly can to maximize performance.
I think you're on to something based on what guys say in body holding forums. Basicay, they talk about all the wonderful gains from TRT. There's no doubt a benefit to taking it.
In my mind, it is a way for ex steroid abusers to avoid the consequences of their actions. If TRT were banned, they would have trouble competing. Why provide help to guys who cheated?
