you guys are talking out your arses
trt definitely will give guys unfair advantages. if they have a legit problem, whether from previous steroid abuse or not, getting trt to help them get to a normal level is ok. it's when they abuse it and test for levels of a rhinoceros is where it's the problem. you can argue either way the pros and cons.
but make no mistake, it gives an unfair advantage to those who know how to abuse it and cycle it out of their systems. it gives more endurance, faster recovery time, heal faster. all of this in the 8 weeks or whatever it is during training camp and you got a monster in the cage on fight night. not only are they already an animal and at the top level, but with trt will make them go super saiyan.
I understand that it won't improve technique, or improve their chin or help them defend an armbar, but it isn't the same as drinking 10 cups of coffee every day. plus my understanding is that they do test for sugar levels. like, you couldn't just down a gallon of kool aid before a fight or eat a snickers bar between rounds. but i'll look into it.
