Thus, he was mistaken, thinking that testosterone isn’t an anabolic steroid.
Actually, use of testosterone replacement therapy in mixed martial arts is a controversial issue. Testosterone is administered legally in case of hypogonadism (reduced testosterone secretion). Thus, mixed martial artists who have this illness can receive a therapeutic use exemption which permits to use the steroid testosterone legally.
But the problem that is widely discussed is whether the athlete that utilizes therapeutic measure of testosterone can get unfair advantage during competitions.
The most of sportspersons who have received a therapeutic use exemption for application of testosterone for clinical needs deny receiving any enhancement of performance because of testosterone replacement therapy.

This mixed martial artist reported that small quantities of the steroid testosterone had produced obvious changes in him. His sexuality was improved significantly; he began to feel as if he had been only 25.
