    All of my friends have different careers that range a lot of different sectors. I haven't got the slightest clue what they actually do for the most part, mainly because we rarely talk about work, or go in to much detail when we do. This is not uncommon IMO.

    I have a friend who is involved in science, I couldn't tell you ****ing anything about physics or biology. But because he's my friend, and he's involved in science, I should know...right?

    I know what you're saying, but even I know what TRT is. Forget athletes for a moment, anyone who's ever worked out would know what it is.....I would've thought anyway.

    Like I said, I didn't know what it was until a few weeks back. I still couldn't tell you how it works, how it's done, or what it actually does (excuse my naivety).

    I'm one of those people, if it doesn't effect me, doesn't concern me, or I don't intend to use it at any point, I will not read about it, I will not watch it, I will not research it. I work out regularly, but because I don't intend to pump shite in to my body like steroids, or this testosterone replacement, I won't look in to it. That's just me, or maybe there are plenty of people like me out there. Bradley, Mayweather, and even Pacquiao may be just like me when it comes to this particular subject. :conf

    Here's what I know:




    Press release about Don Hale's TRC Centers:

    :lol:

    Another quote:

    Hmmmm . . . . ok Lamont :rofl



    This is taken from a maxboxing article about TRT in sports, featuring insight from Victor Conte. I highly recommend reading the whole article:

    So is Montoya asking if Floyd is on TRT and has an exemption?

    Well, all we can really go by is what the cease and desist letter is telling Montoya to stop talking about, which is the 'inadvertent use' exemption for failed tests in his contract with USADA, and three failed tests.

    Seems to me that Montoya is suspicious of Maywather's links with Hale and his USADA contract and is looking into that. May well be absolute bull****, who knows. The contracts, test results and medical records which will be released as part of Mayweather's counter suit against Manny will clear it all up one way or another.

    My GUESS would be that Montoya expects/is hoping Floyd's medical records to show a diagnosis for low testosterone, his contract with USADA will allow for 'failed' tests for TRT, and his test results will show high readings of testosterone/ presence of artificial testosterone.

    That's what I would piece together from the stuff that he's said so far. All seems VERY far fetched to me.

    If Floyd is on TRT and has an exemption, it's going to look bad for him. Legit or not. He'll fall into the MMA fighter category. Not only that, but he can expect to be discredited because people will question why he is on it. While an Endocrinologist will be very strict on when they can give it to you, "Clinics" don't seem nearly as strict. You could just have your natural decline (which in this case, I'm excluding prior steroid use), and still fall under "normal" and they may feel it is enough of a decline to be treated. It depends on the place.
    The example would be that of Peterson. His levels are deemed "normal" by Endocrinology standards that go by chart readings...but "clinics," a 500 ng/dL reading may get you a pass to use in order to get you up to a higher level closer to when you were younger. Although how high were you when younger...you don't know unless you were tested.

    But what is iffy to me is that if he is on it and has that exemption, why would you basically out yourself unless you fall under the Peterson category of being either naive, dumb or you feel above criticism.

    So in this case, it makes more sense for him to be "Clean" but you never know.

    With Athletes in certain positions, you can get away with a lot when people are not monitoring you.

    If Floyd is on TRT, they'll know it and he'll need that exemption. So it is interesting from that stand-point. And it should be asked. Why not.

    The **** are you talking about? They aren't called "TRT" clinics. They are called "Wellness clinics", or "Youth clinics" or a myriad of other names.

    Idiots think Floyd's friend got places called "The Steroid Shop". :patsch

    Erm, no they're not called wellness clinics. Don't just make **** up. They are hormone replacement centres. Testosterone is a hormone.

    This is his business:

    What do you think the HR stands for?

    Testosterone replacement ain't no favour to others but keeps you in shape... I bet most of boxers do it. Since it connects well with the damage they take of boxing.

    Even if he called his clinics Disneyland Mayweather still knows what they are.

    You're an idiot sometimes Shaunster. You're commenting about **** in the US that you have no concept of. Most "locations" that have doctors that give these TRT prescriptions aren't called HRT or TRT "clinics".

    Mother****ers can even get that **** from chiropractors! In California and various other states in the US, "wellness centers" or "Anti Aging Clinics" of various names who offer hair removal, botox, lypo and other cosmetic procedures, also have doctors on staff that will give you a no consultation testosterone level test and can prescribe you synthetic test.
