UFC - TRT Banned in Nevada

The vote passes. TRT is now banned in Nevada. And not just applications, but includes users currently on it, effective immediately.

UFC 173 in Las Vegas,

Weidman vs Belfort.........good luck Vitor  ;D

bunch of uneducated morons making the rules in Nevada.

NSAC better take a good look at what made fighting profitable and exciting in Pride/Japan.

nobody wants to see a bunch of skinny 170lb natural kids fighting for 2yrs before their bodies break down.

Isn't Nevada the home of most supplement companies, and all of their lobbying arms?

It doesn't matter.  These guys are going to still pass drug tests-the only way curb PED use currently would be to use year round random carbon isotope ratio testing.

But at least it's a step in the right direction.  Now they need to get rid of the ridiculous 6:1 T/E ratio fighters are allowed.  A fighter can still take 500 to 600 mg of test a week and still pass a drug test in Nevada.

If testosterone was all it took to kick ass, pro bodybuilders could dominate the UFC.

Don't get it confused with ending steroid use.  This only affects about 5 current UFC fighters.

They will still use the T-Pellets implanted under the skin...  no one will ever test positive.

CIR testing detects it.   It's how boxer Lamont Peterson tested positive using pellets.

Gay. These guys are much more fun to watch when theyre juiced up... wtf is Dana applauding this for anyway? Youd think it would have the possibility of fucking up some of his prize fighters...

Diaz has a medical exemption to use pot, he was still banned twice for testing positive.

Insulin?  You're comparing diabetes to PED use?  Lol, sure dude.

It's simple: do what the old timers did when their test got low.  Retire.

diabetes as in your body doesn't produce a certain hormone?

what about fighters with depression and issues with dopamine, and using dopamine-reuptake-inhibitors like Welbutrin? Welbutrin can be used as a stimulant... are they not allowed that?

not allowing trt is fucking retarded.

we have long established guidelines for what is considered 'normal' in terms of testosterone levels, as long as it's prescribed and your levels are within what's considered 'normal', even if it's 900... who the fuck is the NSAC to say you can't do it?

is there a "normal" level of cannabinoids? fuck no.. so why the fuck would they allow a medial exception for potheads who smoke weed?

and why should they retire? if the only thing holding you back from fighting is your body's ability to recover from training/fighting is excessively low testosterone.. and it doesn't matter one goddamn bit WHY it's low, be it testicular cancer or prior steroid use (steroid use isn't illegal in all countries, mind you, fucking hollier than thou bitches.. and not everybody lives in the US), then why the fuck should a guy NOT use testosterone to remain 'normal'? are women not allowed estrogen/progesterone if they need it?

and don't use the argument that it's a performance enhancer.. because you sure as fuck can't show up and fight DRUNK, and that's definitely not a performance enhancer.

Won't effect a thing.. They will just taper off and come in under the ratio.. Just like they do now..
