    Neither have I. Then again I never thought Tarver was either.

    Let's see, the guy is a convict. He would be the first to use PEDs if it gave him the slighest advantage and more $ in his pocket. Everything he is doing at his retirement age just goes against boxing logic.

    I voted yes, but the answer is more like yes/no. I believe he takes TRT. I don't think that's performance enhancing if you actually need it. He's old. Men's testosterone levels naturally drop. To keep his body in functioning order, he would need to take TRT. I literally have no problem with that. So is he taking something that for others would be a PED? Yes. Does it ENHANCE his performance? No, I don't think so. I believe is simply supplements the testosterone that he would otherwise be missing. No enhancement to performance. Simply balance.

    TRT can be prescribed by a doctor. But you have to **** at the normal levels of testosterone. I see no foul.


    I'm not 100% familiar with WADA though. Does it even ban prescribed TRT?
