I don't think a lot of judges understand the sport, but that was just a home town giveaway.

eh, I have no sympathy for those TRT guys. I read about Chael's complaints, and he's got an argument, and it is kinda tough for him, but ya know what... even though TRT was legal at the time he was using, no one liked it including most fighters, so screw 'em. If it takes him another year or so to get his system back to normal, thats his problem, he shouldn't have been taking it in the first place.

The problem is systems dont usually go back to normal.

yep, a side effect of TRT is that your body might not make much testosterone naturally if you stop.

If those fighters are all pretty much screwed now, I'm fine with it.

Why? They could have made made a mistake as a 18 year old and jacked up their HPTA for life. If they keep total T within a set of guidelines I dont see the problem.

Don't care. The benefit of a blanket ban is it removes all questions, all suspicions, all accusations. If you want to fight, don't do TRT. If you are one of the ultra-rare people who really are born with a medical need for replacement therapy, well thats just too bad, you weren't born to fight just like guys who are born without legs or arms.

I won't mind him as a commentator, I don't hate the guy, but if he can't fight anymore then he shouldn't try.

SAUTO 06-11-2014 07:04 PM

He should probably shut the **** up too.

He's a dirtbag for sure. But he's an entertaining commentator

Sorter 06-11-2014 07:15 PM

I like Chael but I really can't understand why he'd choose to take something knowing his standing with the UFC and ACs.


The drug testing is gearing towards Olympic/World standards. This is simply stupidity on Chael's behalf.

It's all marketing. I think he is a pretty good dude when you see the real Chael. It's like hating a pro wrestler for the way he acts has a TV character.

Yeah, he's actually a really cool, level headed dude. He's a salesman through and through and knew exactly what he was doing with his antics.
