Well, Jose Aldo has said that if he needs TRT, he’ll use it too. Which makes me just say: why not a TRT division? Who are we to question the the natural aging process of our bodies? It’s a murky, muddy conversation to get in, because some people may may thing Lasik Eye Surgery for someone may be performance enhancing, so who really knows what’s right or what’s wrong. I sure don’t anymore. And besides, Hendo’s run from 2010-2011 on TRT was one of the most fun I’ve had watching MMA in the last few years.
Anyways, here’s Jose Aldo on the steroid and TRT issue.
“I don’t see the problem with using TRT,” “Everybody uses [steroids], from the champion to the newcomer. I believe we [from Nova Uniao] are the only ones that don’t do that, because Andre (Pederneiras) was always against steroids. I think it’s wrong to criticize someone who came forward and said they take TRT.”
“Americans always used that,” he said. “Randy Couture fought until he was 50, and you say he was clean? If the doctors prescribe you and you’re on the limits, OK, I see no problem. If I need that one day, I will use TRT too.”
