    i for one really don't agree with this, notable cases are hopkins and peterson

    hwo is this even allowed as a valid excuse? if you actually require this treatment you shouldn't really be medically fit to compete in sport, and if your t levels are a tiny bit lower i don't think you should be allowed it as it gives you an unfair advantage over how you were naturally made.

    i feel it is being used by certain fighters as a loopole to dope, i mean how does a guy like peterson who is cut to shreads need this treatment? and he has gotten away with it, it is obviously a scam.

    Boxing needs to crack down on these loopoles being exploited by cheats

    I agree.
    Just to throw it out there, Floyd Mayweather had the Testosterone-Estrogen ratio of a 128.5 year old man.

    STFU, when the testing agency and commission overseeing the sport say doing IV at home 14x the limit is okay than there's nothing wrong.

    He didnt know what TRT was???
    LMAO.
    The reporter asked if he knew he'd invested millions into DHales TRT chains and the look on his face......OMFG. Like he'd been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
    And having Hale on payroll for a decade, then dropping him, retiring, then coming back as the main financial backer of Hales clinics.......
    Gotta love how Floyd looked when pressed on the issue.

    USADA only tests positive for 6X the normal amount of human tes......Hale's TRT therapy clinics are scientifically ran soas the average Joe off the street dont take a stroke or heart attack so they try to keep them at or around 2X the normal level of 1.1:1, but with their labs, they can keep an athlete just under the 6:1 levels that USADA doesnt catch, thus allowing Floyd the luxury of flying JUST under the radar while being 5X the norm.

    IV therapy is a HUGE business in LV, and while I dont personally think theres anything wrong with anyone dehydrated to get one, an athlete who's boiling down to make weight, only to infuse 5lbs of liquid into his system minutes after a weigh in.......that's suspect to say the least.

    Getting punched in the head can lower your testosterone production.

    It's just legal roiding. They recently cracked down on this in mma and now all the guys who were ridiculously muscled 40 year old champs are gone. It's pretty much the only way a 40 year old man can compete with a 30 year old man, barring a gun.

    Usually people that ***** about TRT are fat, out of shape bums that sit on their ass, drink beer, smoke cigarettes then want to talk about someone else health.
    It is ****ing absurd.
    It is really none of your business what someone does with their body if they pass the test.

    and usually people how complain about people saying that trt is a problem in boxing are one legged amputees , who wear eye patches and often get mistaken for pirates. They often have unibrows and have the intelligence levels of similar to dogs with a long standing petrol sniffing addiction.

    Now that we got that out of the way , your last line proves me right, 'if they pass the test'

    they obviously don't pass the test, they are taken steroids , they failed the test but got an exemption because of a corrupt doctor giving them a medical condition.
