Alistair Overeem's Doctor Has A Very Interesting Background - Bloody Elbow

A quick Google search of for Dr. Hector Molina reveals a number of interesting articles that appear to concern the same man.

First up his main medical practice and what appears to be his sideline business: The Men's Performance Enhancement Clinic. The MP-EC web site touts Molina's experience working with "MMA Fighters and Boxers" and brags that they "have over 50 collective years treating erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, and premature ejaculation caused by hormone imbalance, lack of libido, andropause (male menopause or manopause), prostate removal side effects, diabetes or psychological issues."

Next, a Fort Worth Star-Telegram article from 2004 (retrieved from their pay archives) has an article about a Dr. Hector Oscar Molina of Colleyville -- a community just north of Fort Worth and near Irving, TX:

The Texas State Board of Medical Examiners has fined Dr. Hector Oscar Molina of Colleyville $25,000 and placed restrictions on his practice for three years for prescribing controlled substances and dangerous drugs over the Internet without establishing "a proper physician-patient relationship."

Molina, who has a general practice in Irving, will be prohibited from prescribing Schedule II and III controlled substances, among them medications such as morphine, codeine, methadone, oxydone (Percodan), hydrocodone (Vicodin) and anabolic steroids. Controlled substances are drugs with a high potential for abuse and which may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.

Molina must also establish a proper physician-patient relationship with all patients in his practice, which requires him to "personally and physically see, examine, diagnose and treat every patient in person."
...

The action was initiated when a complaint was filed with the medical board by a Colorado man who received drugs prescribed by Molina from the unregulated Internet pharmacy, prescriptionconsultation.com - prescription. It is no longer operating under that name.

...

According to the state medical board, Molina, who was licensed in Texas in August 1997, violated the proper physician-patient relationship because he prescribed the drugs without having examined the patient, taken a proper history, acquired adequate medical records and performed adequate tests.

Then there's this 2010 arrest report from LocalNewsOnly.com, again it's unconfirmed that this is the same Dr. Molina:

HECTOR OSCAR MOLINA, 45, of 5486 Pool Road in Colleyville. Colleyville PD - Assault Causes Bodily Injury Family Violence. Arrested at 5486 Pool Road at 7:45 PM on 4/24/10 by Detective Bob Etheridge. Molina listed his occupation as self-employed Physician, Molina Medical Clinic in Irving. Released at 12:35 AM on 4/25/10.

Then there's this Fox News report headlined "Plastic Surgery Nightmare for a Texas Woman" once again a Dr. Hector Oscar Molina:

Dr. Hector Oscar Molina is an Irving doctor. His website claims he does everything from tummy tucks to facial surgery. But for the second time this year a patient has ended up at Baylor Hospital with devastating complications.

" I was so scared for my daughter," said the patient's mother. "When he took off all of the bandages, we saw the wounds and they were so open and infected."

The mother says her daughter, who does not want to be named, was rushed to Baylor's emergency room after getting an arm lift and breast implants at Molina Medical in Irving.

She says her daughter, who weighs more than 300 pounds, wanted her arms slimmer.

She complained to the Texas Board of Medical Examiners that Dr. Hector Oscar Molina performed a "17 hour" operation. She says the family called 911 nine days after the surgery because the wounds were severely infected and she couldn't breathe.

speaking of cheaters with tarnished names, Nate Marquardt is not on TRT anymore

Here's what Marquardt told Ariel Helwani today on the MMA Hour:

"I didn't know if I was going to be able to fulfill my dreams going that route," he said. "I just feel it was so much of a hassle and stress with the commissions and all that, I guess, that the right thing for me to do right now is to choose not to do it. And you know, definitely I've pursued a lot of other stuff to try to help my health and a lot of it's helping. I feel great right now. I'm in really good shape, and that's not something I'm worried about right now."

Ironically it was on the MMA Hour less than a year ago that Marquardt and his manager appeared and made a very strong case that Marquardt had a dangerously low level of testosterone and would require TRT going forward.

Here's Nate explaining to Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour last June why he needed TRT (transcribed by Zach Arnold):

"Last year, in August, I was feeling sluggish, I was feeling horrible, I was uh my memory had gone out the window, I was irritable, and uh I knew something was wrong, I felt like I was over-training when that wasn't the case so... I went to my doctor and he ran a bunch of tests and basically, uh, came back and said that I had low testosterone. He recommended for me to go on Hormone Replacement Therapy and, uh, so immediately I took that information and went to the UFC and basically talked with the people there that know about that, that handle that situation, and figured out what was the plan and at that point I went on treatment. I was on treatment all the way through, uh, to the end of the year to the first of this year, uh, you know it was monitored and everything.

"So I got the fight with Dan Miller, in New Jersey. We applied for the Therapeutic Use Exemption from New Jersey. They came back and said we're going to grant you the, we're going to let you fight this fight, but um... basically we want to make sure that you need this treatment, your doctor submitted some paperwork that seemed incomplete, so we want you to do these tests after the fight, we want you want to go off treatment for 8 weeks, then we want you to take 3 blood tests, then we want an endocrinologist to review those blood tests and basically see if you need to be on treatment. So, you know, I followed all the guidelines that they told me, I went off treatment for 8 weeks, I took the 3 blood tests, uh... I, uh, you know, once the blood tests, one the results came back, the endocrinologist reviewed and wrote out a letter that basically said that, you know, I had low testosterone and that I was a candidate for Hormone Replacement Therapy and, um, and so he recommended me to go back on treatment."

Apparently Nate has now experienced a miracle cure for the dreaded low-testosterone causing syndrome hypogonadism. Either that or he's realized that whatever advantage he gained from using TRT is not worth the risk of failing another drug test.

Marquardt's explanation for failing the urine test last year was that he had gone off TRT to comply with New Jersey's testing requirements for several weeks so his doctor felt he needed a stronger dose before the fight. Here's Marquardt again:

"I went back to my doctor and, um, and he decided that I should go back on treatment, obviously, and at this point I was 3 weeks out from my fight that I was supposed to have with Rick Story. 3 weeks out and... so, he basically said that I needed to go on a more aggressive treatment because of the proximity to the fight because it was so close.

...

"So, again, three weeks out, um... I got the recommendation. My doctor decided to put me on a new treatment that was more aggressive because it was so close to my fight he said that it wouldn't get basically it wouldn't help me, it wouldn't make me feel better by the time of my fight unless he did a more unless agreement and, uh, so I was on the treatment for two weeks and I took a blood test and, uh, which is normal throughout the treatment you had to take blood tests to make sure you're within normal ranges and that test came back high and, at that point, my doctor said, well, you need to go off treatment and, uh, you know, let's hope your down to normal levels by your fight. And, you know, obviously that was, you know, I was pretty much panicked at that point."

Dana White was very vocal about calling Marquardt a "three time loser" when he was cut from the UFC. Marquardt had previously failed a post fight urine test after a UFC bout against Ivan Salaverry in 2005. On that occasion, Marquardt tested positive for a significant amount of nandrolone metabolite and he served a five month suspension for using steroids. Marquardt blamed over the counter supplements for the 2005 positive test.

Whatever the meaning of all this is, it doesn't make Marquardt or the TUE evaluation process look particularly credible.

so apparently, low T > commission ''hassle''

C'mon now those 2 aren't comparable. Mo is actually a good fighter. Rogers is a freaking wife beating scrub. He lost to Eddie Sanchez ffs.

 

[jackswstd]

Long as you White on TRT it's alright.

fact still remains mo has iffy cardio and a flawed striking technique which will forever impede his ascension. Because of bellator's format he might get exposed like huerta..A striker with exceptional TDD will eat him alive

Have you seen Bellator's 205 division?

Travis Wiuff beat their champion

Mo fought Wiuff in his MMA debut and knocked him out in the first round. He's gonna run through their tournament and get the title. All the good 205'eers fight for Zuffa
