The American fighter Chael Sonnen is allowed to take anabolic steroids. The doctor Timothy Trainor noted that this fighter actually suffered from hypogonadism.
What does this condition represent? Hypogonadism is connected with insufficient secretion of testosterone. Health care providers ordinarily prescribe testosterone replacement therapy in order to cure this disease.
This fighter has gotten a therapeutic use exemption (TUE). Thus, this fighter is allowed to utilize steroids for medical needs and fight against Anderson Silva at UFC 148 in July 2012.
According to instructions given by Chael Sonnen’s health care provider, he should apply injections of Testosterone Enanthate and Testosterone Cypionate twice weekly. The dosages that are prescribed have not been discussed. But under rules of the Nevada Athletic Commission, blood serum levels of testosterone in this athlete should be within normal range on the morning after the fight against Silva.
According to the doctor Trainor, those who fight, having TUE, must be tested on the morning after the match to determine whether they have used something right before the competition.
Trainor believes that testosterone can produce performance-enhancing effects, if it is applied right before the fight. He confirms that injections must not be applied in the days before a match to prevent increased testosterone levels.
But it seems that the NAC is not aware that steroids produce effects connected with enhancement of performance, not only if they are administered right before competitions. Intake of steroids influences essentially on performance during workouts before competitions. And the results remain even after users discontinue administering them.
The fighter Chael Sonnen had increased levels of testosterone at UFC 117. He admitted that he had tested positive because he had been on TRT. He appealed his suspension and it was reduced to 6 months from one year. But Chael Sonnen didn’t have any TUE that time.
