Dana White expresses his thoughts about steroid use by athletes with low testosterone levels

Intake of steroids for testosterone replacement therapy by sportsmen is a controversial issue. There are numerous debates linked with it. It is known by anyone that steroids and certain other related medications are forbidden in numerous sports organizations. But if a person should use these medications under instructions of his/her doctor for clinical purposes, he/she should obtain a therapeutic use exemption. Although it is allowed to apply even anabolic steroids for therapeutic purposes, such sportspersons are frequently demonized and named “cheaters”. Actually, it is unfair.
What does Dana White, the UFC president, state about intake of steroids for testosterone replacement therapy? Does he blame fighters that use steroids in order to enhance their decreased levels of testosterone? Dana White considers that any man with hypogonadism should use steroids, if these products are recommended by his physician. However it is fair, let note why certain sportspersons suffer from low testosterone levels. It is proven scientifically that steroid abuse may lead to suppression of natural testosterone production. So, some fighters and other sportspersons that have applied previously steroids for athletic purposes may get hypogonadism. Hence, their health care providers recommend them using certain steroids in order to enhance their testosterone levels.
According to Dana White, testosterone replacement therapy is legal for all men, including professional sportspersons. So, if any sportsman suffers from hypogonadism, he should be allowed to apply steroids indicated by his health care provider. He should get normal testosterone levels which characterize any healthy man of his age.
But Dana White makes it clear that any fighter or another sportsperson that administers anabolic steroids and/or other forbidden drugs for athletic purposes must be sentenced to bans. It is needed to make difference between those that use steroids for therapeutic purposes and those that want to obtain muscle mass and strength with the help these products. No one is allowed to apply anabolic steroids for athletic purposes. It is forbidden in sports. Those that break anti-doping rules should be punished. Sports must be drug-free.
It seems to be surprising that affirmations of Dana White differ obviously from affirmations presented by anti-doping officials. As you know, words of certain anti-doping officials for steroid users are much harsher than those pronounced by the UFC president.
