Chael Sonnen is allowed to use anabolic steroids. The doctor Timothy Trainor claimed that this mixed martial artist really had hypogonadism.
What does this condition represent? Hypogonadism is linked with insufficient testosterone secretion. Health care providers usually recommend testosterone replacement therapy for treatment of this disorder.
The athlete Chael Sonnen has gotten a therapeutic use exemption (TUE). Thus, this mixed martial artist is allowed to utilize steroids for therapeutic needs and meet Anderson Silva at UFC 148 in July 2012.
According to prescription of Chael Sonnen’s health care provider, he should be injected with Testosterone Enanthate and Testosterone Cypionate twice per week. The measures that are recommended have not been revealed. But under rules of the Nevada Athletic Commission, blood serum levels of testosterone in this fighter should be within normal range on the morning after the fight against Silva.
The physician Trainor confirms that those that fight, having TUE, should be tested on the morning after the match to find out whether they have used something right before the competition.
Trainor thinks that testosterone is able to produce performance-enhancing effects, if it is utilized right before the fight. He states that injections must not be introduced in the days before a match to prevent enhanced testosterone levels.
But it seems that the NAC doesn’t know that steroids produce effects linked with enhancement of performance, not only if they are utilized right before competitions. Application of steroids enhances performance during workouts before competitions. And the benefits remain even after athletes stop using them.
Sonnen had elevated levels of testosterone at UFC 117. He noted 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 he didn’t have any TUE that time.
