The American mixed martial artist Chael Sonnen is allowed to use anabolic steroids. The physician Timothy Trainor noted that this sportsperson really experienced hypogonadism.
What does this condition represent? Hypogonadism is connected with insufficient secretion of the hormone testosterone. Doctors ordinarily recommend hormone replacement therapy in order to cure this disorder.
This fighter has acquired a therapeutic use exemption (TUE). So, this athlete is allowed to apply steroids for clinical needs and meet Anderson Silva at UFC 148 in July 2012.
According to indications given by Sonnen’s doctor, he should apply injections of Testosterone Enanthate and Testosterone Cypionate twice weekly. The doses that are indicated have not been disclosed. But under rules of the Nevada Athletic Commission, blood serum levels of testosterone in this athlete should remain within normal range on the morning after the match with Silva.
According to the physician Trainor, those that compete with TUE must be tested on the morning after the match to determine whether they have administered something right before the fight.
The doctor Trainor believes that testosterone is able to produce performance-enhancing effects, if it is utilized right before the fight. He states that injections must not be applied in the days before a fight in order to prevent increased levels of testosterone.
But it seems that the NAC doesn’t know that steroids cause benefits connected with increase of performance, not only if they are utilized right before competitions. Administration of steroids influences essentially on performance during trainings before competitions. And the effects remain even after sportspeople discontinue using them.
The fighter Chael Sonnen had high testosterone levels at UFC 117. He admitted that he had tested positive because he had been on TRT. After his appeal the suspension was reduced to 6 months from one year. But Chael Sonnen didn’t have any TUE that time.
