A fighter that takes steroids can represent a potential risks to those who fight against him

Several mixed martial artists have publicly admitted that they use anabolic steroids as a part of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) which has been prescribed by doctors. The executive director of the Nevada State Athletic commission (NSAC) Keith Kizer believes that this factor has created an impression among numerous persons that steroid exemptions are given to permit MMA fighters to take the steroid testosterone.
During an interview with Ben Fowlkes of MMA Fighting Keith Kizer noticed that some persons believed that any fighter could get exemptions for administration of testosterone. He noticed that he couldn’t say it about other states but he described the situation in Nevada. According to Keith Kizer,  it is 50/50 whether a request for steroid exemption  will be approved.
TRT is a therapy that is required for adult men with hypogonadism (low levels of testosterone). If athletes correspond to the medical criteria, they may be allowed to use steroids.
The NSAC has strict requirements for those that desire to get a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) for intake of steroids. A sportsperson should show the document that displays that blood levels of testosterone are low.  But if an athlete has low level of testosterone, it is not sufficient to obtain a TUE. Treating physicians must name reasons and medical conditions. The details connected with testosterone replacement therapy should be described by health care providers as well. Each detail should display that certain sportsperson must  take testosterone for therapeutic needs and administration of steroids will not give unfair advantage to the sportsperson.
Certain top athletes of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) have taken steroids for TRT. Chael Sonnen, Nate Marquardt, Dennis Hallman and Dan Henderson are included in the group of stars who take steroids for medical needs.
Kizer confirms that ban of steroids makes MMA safer. He notices that if a fighter takes steroids, he/she takes unfair advantage as if it is applied knuckles that are hidden inside gloves.  So, this is not only cheating. This factor is related to risks for life. If you say to a fighter that you can put knuckles in the gloves so, as no one will know it, this person will ask you not to bother him. But it is strangely that such fighter uses steroids.
It goes without saying that steroid use has possible dangers to increase the harm that can occur in MMA.
