    There is another grey area where taking peds in almost allowed....Men produce testosterone at different levels per person,it also has a lot to do with your ethnic background ....So a certain amount of test in the body is allowed as a pass ,a bit like passing a breath test for drinking....
    So ....
    Fighter A produces a lot of Testosterone naturally right on the limit...
    Fighter B has very low natural test levels....

    Is it 'cheating' for Fighter B to micro dose Testosterone just to bring his test levels up as high as Fighter A or as high as the testers allow?

    We're probably entering into a philosophical discussion at that point
    Have we ever had a situation where a fella is so manly, with so much testo in him naturally that he fails the test?

    I was looking at comments by various members of the Olympic Commission over many years and the running theme was that it was an unwinnable war.

    Why would Clen be class C?

    Pretty silly that traces of Dbol would get you banned longer than massive amounts of Clen under this system.
