    Some people will believe anything, I just hope the ****** in the linked post isn't ever contacted by a Nigerian prince who needs help releasing large sums of money.

    anyone have a link or know what test peterson failed.....the standard TE ratio can be passed, yet CIR testing of urine can detect synthetic testosterone use and is part of the screening. If he passed the TE ratio, yet tested positive for synthetic test through CIR, his trt claims could be legit. If he has a pellet implant, this shouldn`t cause test levels to go above normal physiological levels. Last I checked, nevada allows a 6 to 1 TE ratio, and levels of 400-1100 ngdl test is acceptable.

    Low testosterone and natural growth hormone is a lesser-common symptom of brain injury. I know because I get test shots in order to be able to stay in shape at 45. Nothing dramatic, just a typical amount for a normal person my age. James Toney undoubtedbly has huge damage to his pit gland - have you seen his workouts? He's arguably stronger and in better physical shape than most boxer's we see today.

    I completely believe he's being sincere. Being 30 with low test is not a good thing. I see absolutely zero issue with it.

    Some of you are talking about he needs it because he's cycling off other steroids. Well then that's your problem, not the test shots.

    Peterson tested positive for synthetic testosterone & he was caught by VADA testing. In the Khan fight he was tested by USADA who dont do CIR testing, so his pellet didnt show up.

    okay, so he basically was caught by a random test by a body that uses CIR, which would catch the synthetic test, yet passed the TE ratio at fight time. Seems quite possible his TRT is legit in that case. TRT isn`t going to promote supraphysiological levels and blow TE ratios or push test levels outside of normal physiological ranges. Thanks for the clarification. Still of the opinion that a lot of athletes with scripts are using it as a cover to further enhance themselves though, as it is a pretty normal trick of the trade in athletics, powerlifting, bodybuilding etc., to avoid possible legal issues.

    Anybody notice Gabe Montoya didnt put out no funny article before or after the fight, no Sweet science or Chemical warfare none of that I guess you have to Be Floyd Mayweather or working with a guy who Conte has beef with in order for Gabe to pretend like he is trying to help clean up the sport

    I see zero issue with legit TRT either. Endo designed and monitored TRT makes a man a man....not superman. Low T is a horrible thing for a guy to endure, and TRT makes you normal again. While it is true that poorly planned steroid cycles that do not have adequate recovery measures, or long term use with no breaks can result in suppressed endogenous test production....it is far from the only possible cause of low T. Pain killer abuse, regular concussions and huge weight cuts on a regular basis are other possible causes of Low T for an athlete beyond steroid use and other medical conditions. Problem is, not many of the fellas on prescribed TRT are only doing the TRT.

    No. But in all honesty, most docs (other than endos) have a rudimentary if not poor knowledge of PED interaction, mechanism, effects, side effects etc etc etc. If they haven`t specialized in that area, you find the pertinent and modern knowledge lacking. My own GP and surgeon will openly admit that, and are happy i exceed them in that area. I have a friend who does deal in that area though. It`s easily learned through research, and pratical application, if you have the patience, academic ability, and desire to do so.

    Didn't read the thread, so idk if it's been said already, BUT a young guy with a serious physique who's a professional athlete does not have a low test issue. He probably took steroids, cycled off, went to a doctor who say that his nuts aren't producing test as usual, so gave him the option of getting synthetic test

    When was Peterson diagnosed with low test? Every time you do your blood work, your test levels are seen by the doctor. Why did he start getting trt now ratherthan before if his test levels were always low?
