TRT Yes or No
Are you a fan of TRT or not should we get rid of it from our sport for good or should we just allow these guys to use it ?

Re: TRT Yes or No
Keep it but 3 drug tests must be supplied. Before, during and after training camp. TRT is not a problem if it remains at "normal" levels. The issue is fighters jacking themself up on TRT to 10-15x normal levels during training camp, then bringing it down to normal levels before the fight to pass the test.
Re: TRT Yes or No
I personally don't have a problem with it whilst it is legal. The big issue I have is guys like Vitor Belfort using it, who are known PED users in the past. At the end of the day if your levels are so low you need the drugs to fight, you should consider a career change.
I do agree with Trent but. Keep it, have the fighters assessed by a professional in the field of Testosterone and not their personal doctors. It's amazing how many fighters need to use TRT when other sports have such low rates of needing TUE's. Have the fighters have to submit to testing more often. I think when they sign a bout agreement, they should be subject to the first test. Then another test midway through a training camp, on fight night and several weeks after a fight. That should sort them out.
