Chael Sonnen, an American mixed martial artist is allowed to apply anabolic steroids. The physician Timothy Trainor noticed that this fighter actually had hypogonadism.
What does this disease represent? Hypogonadism is related to insufficient production of the hormone testosterone. Physicians commonly recommend hormone replacement therapy for treatment of this condition.
The athlete Chael Sonnen has acquired a therapeutic use exemption (TUE). So, this athlete is allowed to use steroids for clinical purposes and meet Anderson Silva at UFC 148 in July 2012.
According to indications given by Chael Sonnen’s physician, he should apply injections of Testosterone Enanthate and Testosterone Cypionate twice a week. The doses that are prescribed 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 fight against Silva.
The physician Trainor claims that those who fight, having TUE, should be tested on the morning after the match to define whether they have used something right before the match.
The doctor Trainor thinks that testosterone can produce performance-enhancing effects, if it is applied right before the fight. He claims that injections must not be applied in the days before a match to prevent enhanced levels of testosterone.
But it seems that the NAC doesn’t know that steroids cause effects related to increase of performance, not only if they are utilized right before competitions. Application of steroids increases performance during workouts before competitions. And the benefits remain even after athletes discontinue applying them.
Sonnen had increased levels of testosterone at UFC 117. He confirmed 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.
