I hate Sonnen, literally one of my most hated fighters but his reasoning could be very legit. He was ok to be doing his TRT. Then they come in and say no more so stop. Well it's not just that easy. You get bad rebounds and your test crashes. The two things he was taking take those worries away. One is so he doesn't get bitch tits from the estrogen rebound and the other was so his testes start producing test again. If he doesn't take those then he could be looking at some long term issues like bitch tits and a penis that doesn't function. I see it everyday with these young guys that take stuff and don't do any kind of post cycle therapy. They end up in a place that ruins a lot of them physically and mentally.
Now, I think he was probably trying to skate the system but in all reality he could have been doing the right thing for his body. IMO they're really going to have to change some things. TRT is legal and offices like my wife's endocrinology office put men on it everyday and they're not the type of office to do it just for shits and giggles. If it's legal, doctor prescribed then how can you say guys in one of the most demanding physical sports in the world can't take it. Of course, I also think HGH should be ok. Not because of it's PE abilities but because of it's ability to help a person recover and their body to repair itself quicker. If you've ever taken HGH then you know the performance side of it's nothing close to roids but the recovery you get is like when your a teenager.
