Obviously since we found out that TRT was exemptable with proper disclosure and doctor prescription it begs the question of "how long has this been going on before Chael Sonnen?".

Fast forward to now with fighters like Marquardt, Rampage, Duffee, Dan Henderson and even the 'Reem going as far as to admit they are on the TRT treatments like it's an icepack you use after a fight. So is TRT the new Tylenol of MMA? Or are these men and women truly in need of performance enhancing substances to reclaim their "normality" of fitness? You be the judge!!!

Overeem wasn't on TRT, he claimed that he was given 1 injection from the shady Texas comission doctor and received two extra vials to be injected later. It was a mix of some vitamins and test to help heal his rib injury.

People really need to learn to read before they go making accusations.  If the commission allows it, its within the rules.  TRT exemption is not easy to get.

The "steroid mixed in without my knowledge" approach, if true, is grounds for a medical malpractice suit.
If Reem's story is true, althought my gut says its not, he'd better expose this shady Texas doc before he concots something lethal for someone else.

Reem needs to be careful doing that...the Dr probably kept syringes in a miller lite can like Roger Clemens trainer!

In before someone claims it's "leveling the playing field".

I've said it once and I'll say it again, if you don't need TRT to live your everyday normal life, you don't need TRT to fight.

It's absolutely insane to think that such "Alpha Males" in MMA are in need of TRT. It's not a coincidence, it HAS to be a sham for an advantage.

I think it's ridiculous that people accuse fighters of roiding and pretend like they know what they are talking about... I'm going into a microbiology major and just understand the basics of how hormones affect the body.

Dan Henderson has been fighting and wrestling for over 20 years... combined with brutal, and depleting weight cuts, I believe Henderson actually needs TRT. Others.. not so much.

Reem got 1 vial with 3 injections from the Doctor, not multiple vials only 1.

TRT is the gateway to allowing Steroid use completely.

TRT sucks. It gives unfair advantages to people who take it, simple as that.

Seems like Dana's wink in dsbv's AV is directed at Floyd Mayweather. How, as an athlete are you just 100% unaware of TRT? C'mon, Floyd, if you're going to lie, make it believable, bro.
