Thanks for the link.
Hallman makes a good point too. If you have a ligit Dr.'s note, you should be tested every few weeks to make sure that you're not abusing it, and make sure that it's working and you're healthy.

I don't know. I'm definately not an expert but to me itseemslike a mild form of cheating regardless. Look at any other sport, you can cry and complain all you want and their still going to tell you T-S. TRT is not legal in any other sport that I know ofthe way these guys are using it in MMA. Bonds, Conseco, and from my home town Sosa, are all cheats and recognized as such and rightfully so.

Trt has become a loop hole for cheaters

Or former cheaters

I couldn't agree more. I don't see how people can see it a different way. If I was always tired and said I had to use an illegal substance to stay awake for my job, I think the only job I would land at that point is 1 saying "would you like fries with that", how is this any different?

I can't say I disagree, but TRT is no longer an illegal substance if it's prescribed, the same as any pharmaceutical. Most people using it are current/former cheaters, but in a case like Hallman's it doesn't bother me at all.

Don't take Hallman's word without getting the full story first. http://forums.steroid.com/showthread.php?322582-Dennis-Hallman-Test-Positive-for-Steroids

that doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't have his medical condition. unless it was linked to steroid abuse.
