Cracking down on TRT in boxing ....

[Hanzo]

These rules are very stringent, compared to years gone. We'll see how far across the board they go, since this is only Nevada, but, in boxing, so goes Vegas so goes the world.

if it's a medical condition this is beyond insane.

Yeah, that's how I see it. You have to stop before 8 weeks out of your fight pretty much no matter what.

of course this is a legitamate condition, but this doesnt try and prevent those patients from using. This tries to prevent a perfectly healthy athlete from using exogenous testosterone as a performance enhancer

I mean I get it. This will blow up when someone who really needs it comes along.

They did not seem bad at all. First off i am for steroids in sports, everyone is going to do them so fuck it just let them. IF you are goin to have a clean sport then you should have very stringent rule and testing. Thats the only way to keep it clean

Are you sure about that? I thought Sonnen just went through a bunch of controversy regarding this and Dana White finally came out and said trt is ok.

No the Weidman/Belfort fight was postponed because the athletic division in the state they were fighting in had just banned trt, not ufc

Would that be Nevada? If so, this article pertains directly to that.As you know, the UFC has to go through each state Athletic Commission. In doing so, they have to abide by the rules already set up by the Boxing Commission (except for striking rules, etc.), this is why they have to use boxing judges, more bs for the UFC to put up with.

No I'm not sure I just thought I had read that somewhere i hope not!

Yep yep Nevada. I didn't read the particular article in here I was just letting 49er know that it wasn't ufc who was enforcing that
