    It's irrelevant why anyone has low levels, the fact is everyone regardless of age is permitted to seek medical attention for it.

    As for me, I was off juice for years before my levels crashed after hitting 30. So my natural production was actually fine long after I came off but something happened in my early 30s.

    Yours could naturally be close to that anyway but just because one fighter is 6:1 compared to a 1:1 doesn't really mean **** in the fight. In any given fight between normal males one could be 5:1 and the other 1:1. Testosterone doesn't make you a better fighter nor does an extra 10lbs of muscle. Duffee is slow as **** and sucks, so use him a great example of how little testosterone helps in making good fighters.

    Adding the emoticons doesn't help your case mate. Matter of fact it mates you look like a tit. There's no wild goose chase here. Its quite clear Griffin is on TRT. That's a fact. Not supposition so keep up homie.
    Secondly it's pretty clear you're partial to hormones yourself hence your dogged insistence that TRT is ok. The fact its only generally prescribed for people who have SERIOUS Endocrine related issues and not HEALTHY athletes has clearly gone over your head.

    These are the kind of statements from a guy who doesn't have a clue. Irrelvent? That doesn't even warrant a response. And yes 'something' just happened to you hence why you're on them. Riiiiiiiiiiiiight...Like i said you're a juice head. You abused gear. ****ed up your Endocrine system and here you are 10 years later. Just be man enough to admit it. Instead of supporting professional athletes to 'legally' abuse hormones.
    And why are you blabbering about Jon Jones? The thread title says Griffin. Come on son keep up....

    It's not about Duffee not being well rounded as a fighter because TBH, the guys is 26 and has bags of skill and power but little punch resistance. It's about him using treatments at such a young age.

    He is the same age as me!!! I wouldn't even think of asking for a lifelong treatment at my age.

    At the end of the day, the guy has a green light so more the power to him for playing the system.

    I train with guys that are much fitter than me each day but when asked for 30 situps they do 25 to finish first... I'll do 35 and make them wait.

    Why? Because I do it for myself and no one else. I train to be the best I can be and have fun. Guys that win but use "boosters" later on in life may think to themselves was it me or the special sauce?

    I'd rather be 100% myself and finish the best place possible than ride the system and maybe loses respect of friends, family and fans.

    Scurlaruntings! You know that everybody in the Ufc is using Ped's, when I say everyone I mean EVERYONE! Top to bottom in the organization, they all use. You only hear about it when they go over there doses. Anyone can walk into a Dr's office and get a script for this.

    It is the norm now, and Dana White and company don't give a **** because they are all taking them too. HGH, Test, Winstrol, they take it all.

    Preaching to the choir b. :thumbsup
    What pisses me off is that some fans sympathise with guys in TRT. And even though using hormones is clearly illegal its fine when a doctor says so. Even though you have tons of these guys on TRT exemptions. Neither Randy or Henderson would have had such long careers if they were not in TRT. It's a complete farce. And made even more insulting when that ***** Dana and Lorenzo come put publicly and say they're going to address the issue. Just STFU already.

    It is insulting to the guys that know what's up. The thing is now, TRT is just a excuse to hope on gear. So all these guys have low test to begin with? Either they juiced before and their levels have crashed our they just want the edge. Ban it, or let it be totally open test free enviroment. Let them take whatever they want Pride Fc/Rings style, because it is turning into a joke. You shouldn't even be testing because clearly everyone is on TRT now!!!!

    It completely invalidates the tests which are clearly just a tick box. Plus the tests themself are a joke of which anyone with a bit of knowledge on gear can pass. They should simply do what PRIDE did and not bother at all. But we can't do those kind of things in the West as we like to get all moral about it all. Puhlease....
