Welp. Brazil is following suit


One day after Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) decided to ban the therapeutic use of testosterone (TRT) in MMA, Brazilian MMA Athletic Commission (CABMMA) follows the decision.

CABMMA’s medical director Dr. Marcio Tannure, who initially planned to debate the subject before making a final decision, announced on Sportv News that they will no longer grant exemptions for TRT in Brazil.

"We discussed this subject for a long time here at CABMMA," he said, "and, as we use Nevada’s athletic commission as a model, we decided to make the same decision here in Brazil and no longer grant TRT exemptions for any fighter."

CABMMA’s decision won’t be applied to UFC’s next card in Brazil, on March 23.

Dan Henderson, who takes onMauricio Rua in the main event, will be granted a license to take TRT for the five-round fight, but it will be the last one in Brazil. Scheduled to fight Wanderlei Silva on May 31 in Brazil, Chael Sonnen won’t receive a TRT exemption.

"Never gave up to fight at UFC 173 and never spoke this. Therefore, all published information on any vehicle of communication announcing this is not true. What I said was that I am "giving the TRT" and not "giving up the fight" to continue my dream of fighting. The UFC decided to put another opponent in my place by the fact that I do not have time to adapt to new rules of NSAC."


Vitor's official statement

Also said he wants the winner

Vitor also had this to say:

According to the UFC, I will face the winner of Weidman vs Lyoto within the new regulations of all the athletic commissions.

When I heard rumors swirling about Vitor and UFC 173, I originally thought he failed his random drug test and would get suspended (plus, we would miss out on Weidman/Beflort). Things actually turned out pretty good:

- We get Machida/Weidman and Belfort vs. the winner of Machida/Weidman.
- No more TRT Vitor.
- And as far as we know, Vitor hasn't failed his random drug test from (right before) the MMA awards.

I mean is this whole TRT shyt really that big of an issue? Everyone thats on it outside of Vitor is literally washed as fukk and not a threat anyway. Whats the big deal?

The use of TRT has been linked to prior PED use. Whether or not fighters find success in using TRT is irrlevent imo it's still unfair and was pretty much a loop-hole in the Athletic Comission's guideline.

Doctors/WADA/VADA/IOC are all against the use of TRT in sports.

no way should belfortrt get to fight the winner, its funny how he backs out of the fight quick. good job nevada

make him fight jacare and the winner gets a title shot

 

[RubioTheCruel]

Haven't watched TUF since the Kimbo season, I might check this one out.

Chael got that takedown. I'd expect that x5 for their fight.

Things will be very interesting since Chael will be fighting without TRT.

True, but even at his best Wanderlei never had good TDD. Chael should be able to cruise to an easy decision win
