Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, a mixed martial artist and actor, described effects of testosterone in the interview with Gary Alexander of “Fighters Only Magazine”. He told about his decision to use testosterone, about its effects on increase of muscle size, weight of the body and his sexual life. He said these words after his fail at UFC 144 in Japan.
The UFC champion was honestly talking about his decision to find a doctor who could recommend him testosterone replacement therapy. He said openly because he thought that testosterone didn’t belong to anabolic steroids. Jackson claimed that steroids were for muscles but testosterone was natural. So, he was mistaken, thinking that testosterone is not an anabolic steroid.
Actually, application of testosterone replacement therapy in mixed martial arts is a debated issue. Testosterone is used legally in case of hypogonadism (low testosterone production). Thus, mixed martial artists that have this condition can receive a therapeutic use exemption that allows to apply the steroid testosterone legally.
But the issue that is widely discussed is whether the fighter who utilizes therapeutic quantity of testosterone may get unfair advantage during competitions.
The most of sportspersons that have got a therapeutic use exemption for application of testosterone for therapeutic purposes deny receiving any increase of performance due to testosterone replacement therapy.
As for Rampage Jackson, he admitted that testosterone replacement therapy had enhanced his muscle mass, helped to get faster recovery from his injuries and improved his sexual life. Jackson said that he had had a knee injury. After he had injected 3 dosages of testosterone, the knee was healed. He added bodyweight and muscle size. He reported that small quantities of the steroid testosterone had caused essential changes in him. His sexual life was improved significantly; he started to feel as if he had been only 25.
Rampage Jackson condemned steroids for his impossibility to lose weight to compete in the 206lb weight class.
Rampage Jackson claims that he doesn’t break any law. He administeres testosterone and claims that it is legally.
He claims that he is glad that he takes testosterone.
