Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, a mixed martial artist and actor, described effects of the steroid testosterone in the interview with Gary Alexander of “Fighters Only Magazine”. He told about his decision to utilize testosterone, about its effects on enhancement of muscle size, weight of the body and his sexuality. He pronounced these words after his fail at UFC 144 in Japan.
Rampage Jackson was openly telling about his decision to seek a health care provider that could prescribe him testosterone replacement therapy. He said openly because he believed that testosterone didn’t include in anabolic steroids. The UFC champion noticed that steroids were for muscles but testosterone was natural. So, he was mistaken, thinking that testosterone is not an anabolic steroid.
Actually, use of testosterone replacement therapy in mixed martial arts is a controversial question. Testosterone is applied legally in case of hypogonadism (low testosterone secretion). Thus, mixed martial artists who suffer from this disease may receive a therapeutic use exemption that allows to take the steroid testosterone legally.
But the problem which is widely discussed is whether the fighter that administers therapeutic dosage of testosterone may get unfair advantage during competitions.
The most of athletes that have obtained a therapeutic use exemption for administration of testosterone for medical needs deny receiving any enhancement of performance due to testosterone replacement therapy.
When it comes to Jackson, he acknowledged that testosterone replacement therapy had increased his muscle mass, speeded his recovery from his injuries and improved his sexual abilities. The mixed martial artist confirmed that he had experienced a knee injury. After he had utilized 3 measures of testosterone, the knee was healed. He added bodyweight and muscle size. He reported that small dosages of the steroid testosterone had caused evident changes in him. His sexual life was improved significantly; he started to feel as if he had been only 25.
Rampage Jackson demonized steroids for his impossibility to lose weight to compete in the 206lb weight class.
Jackson claims that he doesn’t violate any rule. He administeres testosterone and thinks that it is legally.
Jackson Rampage notices that he is glad that he uses testosterone.
