This isn't a thread about whether of not fighters should be allowed to take testosterone. Just fighters who are legally known and permitted to because of existing low levels. I can think of three examples - Dan Henderson, Todd Duffee and Chael Sonnen. I was wondering if Brock had a history seeing he spent so long in WWE where steroid abuse was rife. I'm not bashing anyone, i love these fighters (no homo) - just curious.
Most recent article I could find, regarding fighters on TRT: http://www.mmajunkie.com/news/2012/...sixth-fighter-granted-trt-exemption-in-nevada So six confirmed fighters. But Rampage also admitted that he was on TRT for the Bader fight, so that list isn't entirely accurate. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mma-c...stosterone-replacement-therapy-194522963.html
Brock has enough natural testosterone in his body to empregnate a horse farm. all males (no homo). on a more serious note, Brock apparently never used roids, as they were already testing quite rigorously back then. apparenty he got so big by going on some ridiculous diet consisting of ham and milk almost exlusively..... which then later fucked up his intestines.
Wow. If that's it then i'm kinda underwhelmed. Figured it would be a lot more. It's good its so low imo.
It probably is higher, but unless you can find sources confirming other fighters, you can't accuse them of it. So we have 6 confirmed, and then we have Rampage claiming he was on TRT for the Bader fight.
Please correct me if I am wrong, once you on TRT, you have to take it for the rest of your life. So if Rampage says he was on it for the Bader fight surely he has to take it forever now? Is that a correct assumption?
I was under the assumption that if you boost your testosterone levels with steroids or the like then your balls start to produce less testosterone to compensate. Then then lose the ability to produce the original amount-hence the need to stay on trt to maintain your original level. Look at the nut size of pro bodybuilders (possible shrinkage????)
I'm not sure but nate talked about being off trt around his last fight http://www.mmafighting.com/strikefo...ng-nate-marquardt-off-trt-and-ready-for-zuffa
We need to know more about this only ham and milk diet. Why ham? Why not pork chops? Is that salty shit that goes into ham a vital ingredient in Brock's musculature?
