UFC on FX 8: Vitor Belfort vs. Luke Rockhold

TRT is definitely bad for the sport. Even if you think a guy with low test should be allowed to artificially raise his levels (I don't, especially as VB has been banned for PED use in the past, but that is just my personal opinion). The amount of column inches and talk about TRT detracts from the whole event and casts a shadow over the UFC. Ironically the fight ended due to a piece of supreme skill and technique but a shadow is a shadow and TRT is bringing the sport, as a whole, into disrepute.

 

So long as everyone is treated the same. That means guys like Hendo, Chael, etc.

The way I see it, people are going to point at the trt when guys win. I'm of the attitude either let everyone be on it and have it in the open, because right now it's just a matter of who's been caught or going to get caught. I'll bet 80%+ guys have used or use during parts of training and cycle off. It just makes too much sense when so much is on the line along with the knowledge that other guys are using. Or ban it altogether and ban guys for using it permanently.

But pretending like, going after guys for drugs is going to prevent them from using drugs when they have a great chance at getting away with it is pointless. It's just setting more legacies up to be destroyed in the future the way it is now..

First, they need to come up with a way to test guys so we know they have been clean during their training. If we cant do that it's kind of pointless. The hard work is put in during training, that's when the drugs can really pay off.. Guys testing dirty during a fight are just ******ed, or whoever is administering the drugs are morons.

It's a strange thing.. One day this is going to be such a big deal we are going to want guys to have the same level of hormones when they fight.. I know I would want that advantage if I were eaten up and fighting for a living.
