Hormonal replacement may have its days numbered in Ultimate. After the controversy involving Vitor belfort No. UFC Sao Paulo – when the Brazilian used testosterone with medical authorization – the president of the UFC, Dana White, guarantees that he will close the siege against fighters who use this practice.
According to the director, several athletes take advantage of the loophole in the regulations to try to circumvent the anti-doping law. At the press conference after UFC on FUEL 7, White explained that the number of fighters requesting permission to use TRT has increased his suspicions about how the treatment is being used.
“We go after these guys who are allowed TRT (testosterone replacement). Let’s make sure these guys are tested throughout their training,” she said. “If you asked me three months ago, I would have said it's cool, but everyone finds a way to take a big thing and cheat and ruin it. If you are getting older, your testosterone level starts to drop, and this therapy can raise that level back to when you were 25 years old,” added the president.
