    I know testosterone replacement therapy or TRT has become a huge problem in MMA in the past couple of years. It is in my opinion a way to cheat by having your testosterone levels raised. A normal person has a ratio of 1:1 and there has been fighters caught with levels of up to 16:1!

    Curious to see how big of a problem it has become in MMA but not so much in boxing. I wonder if trainers will catch on in boxing to this as of right now, i believe it is legal..

    just wondering, is it possible for someone to have a ratio not 1:1 without taking something?

    Nevada caps out at 6:1 and California is one of the states that does 4:1. So a level has been established that is "too high". Higher than normal for an athlete compared to an average person probably isn't unheard of.

    Mayweather's pumped full of more hormones than Barry Bonds, Brock Lesnar, and Ronnie Coleman combined. This video proves it beyond a shadow of a doubt.

    A physiologic dose of Test in T/HRT therapy is between 150-200 grams per week. Not very much and will not do very much for physical performance, other than than make you feel a bit better but would not stand up under the rigors of a pro athlete's training. HRT also include HGH as part of the protocol, again a therapeutic does of 2iu's every other day is administered. Great for life extensionist and people with actual low hormal levels but not enough for a pro athlete to gain any real benefit.

    That 6:1 ratio(Test/Epitest) can easliy be flown under with doses of 500 mg of exogenous Test per week. T/HRT is just a substrate protocol for adding higher doses of the same or other more effective PED's that WILL kick your training/performance to another level.

    The PED tests are easily beaten with as little as a day's notice. Because total serum Test is not allocated for. It is the ratio(Test/Epitest) that is monitored. So athletes increase the Epitest precursor inorder to stay within legal limits. You just have to be carefull not to take other PED's with long half life's because their signature's can hang around for months. Short estered PED's are favored because they leave the system much faster than their longer estered counterparts.

    If you still think boxers are not on PED's, I have some beach front property in Kazakhstan I will sell you, CHEAP!!!
