Chael Sonnen, an American mixed martial artist is allowed to apply anabolic steroids. The physician Timothy Trainor claimed that this fighter really experienced hypogonadism.
What does this disorder represent? Hypogonadism is connected with insufficient production of testosterone. Physicians commonly indicate testosterone replacement therapy in order to treat this disorder.
The athlete Chael Sonnen has gotten a therapeutic use exemption (TUE). Thus, he is allowed to utilize steroids for therapeutic purposes and fight against Anderson Silva at UFC 148 in July 2012.
According to recommendations of Sonnen’s doctor, he has to apply injections of Testosterone Enanthate and Testosterone Cypionate twice per week. The quantities that are prescribed have not been revealed. But under establishments of the Nevada Athletic Commission, blood serum levels of testosterone in this fighter must remain within normal range on the morning after the fight against Silva.
According to the doctor Trainor, those who compete with TUE must be tested on the morning after the match to determine whether they have applied something right before the match.
Trainor suggests that testosterone can produce performance-enhancing effects, if it is taken right before the fight. He states that injections must not be applied in the days before a match in order to prevent elevated testosterone levels.
But it seems that the NAC is not aware that steroids cause effects connected with increase of performance, not only if they are applied right before competitions. Administration of steroids influences greatly on performance during trainings before competitions. And the results remain even after consumers stop applying them.
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.
