Professional Athletes on TRT?

The UFC allowed TRT for a while but quickly saw the unfair advantage of testosterone. The change that TRT had on Vitor Belfort's body was amazing.
 
I heard on a podcast that the NFL cutoff for what is considered high testosterone is 2000, with the rationale that many of these athletes are genetic freaks with natural height test levels. This gives guys the ability to be on testosterone and not be considered to be cheating. You notice that no one gets banned for high testosterone, but they do get caught for other stuff.
I actually think that NFL player Benjamin Watson was suspended for using test. Not sure what his levels were. He said in an interview that the players take a beating and that it lowers T levels.....

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
