Life's not fair. Some people develop testosterone deficiencies, some people get cancer, some people get hay fever so bad, it causes them to drop their career.
I'm curious why in all the time Hendo has been on TRT, he hasn't tried to get off it. Didn't Nate Marquardt just recently fight off it, saying he felt fine?

Jones needs to worry about not drinking party enhancers and driving into things. On another note, I'm a little over a month into TRT and not at normal levels for my age yet. My Dr. did however make it clear to me that I wouldn't be reaching the levels of a 20 year old.

We'll see what Bones has to say when he faces a drop in production after years of weight cuts. Quote:

The training and headshots take a toll on the body, and these guys still have bills to pay. He's already making excuses for losing to Henderson. | Also some of the crazy Pride 'rules' some of them fought under being much harder on the body. Quote:

| How do you know Hendo has never tried to "get off" TRT? You dont, you are talking out your ass.

rh | Wrong! All TRT users in MMA are obviously scum-sucking cheating roiders.

I believe that if you're healthy enough to play a sport, you shouldn't take any performance enhancing drugs or anything or testosterone.

I think things like TRT, and steroids are things should be for the normal people who really need it and not athletes. I think if you're an athlete you're an athlete, you shouldn't use anything for enhancement.
| I agree with this...
Too many times people compare normal people to fighters... It is very different when you are in a physical competition... much less a combat sport.

Of course you agree with it, though.  | |

We all know how bad MMA was when it first started out. Even the better fighters werent making a good living... but that should be completely irrelevant to this topic.... Even though Jones brought it up, it shouldnt be in the TRT debate. Quote:

Of course you agree with it, though. | In Nevada you can have a 6/1 ratio... far above the normal or average...
It is very spotty... Its not like all TRT fighters are going to be juiced out of their mind, an advantage is an advantage... no matter how small it may be.

You guys know that TRT isnt against the rules right? Its actually allowed by the comissions, if you apply for and receive an exemption.
