Intake of anabolic steroids for testosterone replacement therapy by sportspeople is a controversial issue. There are many debates connected with it. It is known by everyone that steroids and certain other related products are prohibited in numerous sports organizations. But if a person should take these medications under indications of his/her doctor for clinical needs, he/she should obtain a therapeutic use exemption. Although it is permitted to use even anabolic steroids for clinical needs, such sportspersons are frequently demonized and named “cheaters”. In fact, it is unfair.
What does Dana White, the UFC president, think about application of steroids for testosterone replacement therapy? Does he demonize fighters that apply steroids in order to enhance their decreased levels of testosterone? Dana White states that any person with hypogonadism should administer steroids, if these preparations are recommended by his physician. However it is fair, let notice why certain sportspersons have low testosterone levels. It is proven scientifically that steroid abuse may cause suppression of natural testosterone production. Thus, several fighters and other sportspersons that have used previously steroids for athletic purposes may experience hypogonadism. Hence, their health care providers prescribe them administering certain steroids in order to enhance their testosterone levels.
According to Dana White, testosterone replacement therapy is legal for all individuals, including professional athletes. Thus, if any sportsman experiences hypogonadism, he should be allowed to take steroids prescribed by his health care provider. He should reach normal testosterone levels that characterize any healthy man of his age.
But the UFC president underlines that any fighter or another athlete that administers anabolic steroids and/or other prohibited preparations for athletic needs must be suspended from competitions. It is needed to make difference between those that apply steroids for medical needs and those that want to add muscle mass and strength with the help these medicines. No one is allowed to administer anabolic steroids for performance-enhancing effects. It is banned in sports. Those that break anti-doping rules must be punished. Sports must be free from doping.
It seems to be strange that affirmations of Dana White differ obviously from statements presented by anti-doping officers. As you know, words of some anti-doping officials for steroid users are much harsher than those said by Dana White.
