To its detractor UFC can seem like a lawless testosterone fuelled free for all. Well, at least one current fighter is starting to agree with them, or at least bits of them.
Brit Michael Bisping has taken a swing at the authorities over the number of fighters using Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
If you have medically low testosterone you are allowed to give yourself a bit of an artificial boost. It seems that, according to Bisping this isn’t all totally above board.
“I think the whole thing of testosterone replacement therapy is a very good way of manipulating the system. I think it’s very dangerous, I think its bollocks, it’s cheating – simple as that, especially someone that has failed a steroid test in the past.” Bisping told Mixed Martial Arts site Sherdog.
Bisping was knocked unconscious in a recent fight with Victor Belfort who admitted to using TRT, but has also failed drugs test for some slightly less acceptable substances.
“There’s a very small percentage of people in the world that have Hypogonadism, that’s the actual diagnosis (for someone with low testosterone) and all those people are mixed martial artists and fight in the UFC, it’s bollocks.” (No pun intended we imagine?)
