And today, rather than admit that they made a mistake in the first place in giving out testosterone permission slips to fighters for anabolic steroid usage, Nevada’s commission said they wanted to end the permission slips because it was too much work administratively.
The truth about Nevada’s commission is what I’ve stated all along: Sig Rogich, Lorenzo Fertitta, and the politicians indebted to these individuals are the ones collaborating in this public relations campaign to look like they are cracking down on anabolic steroid usage in combat sports when in fact they were the enablers in the first place. Look at the facts. It wasn’t until UFC started promoting anabolic steroid users in main event fights that we had this plague of fighters crying hypogonadism and needing permission slips. It wasn’t Bob Arum. It wasn’t Golden Boy. It wasn’t Lou DiBella. This plague falls squarely on the shoulders of the UFC. They fostered the environment that let the plague spread and now they want you to think that they are altruistic in trying to stamp in out, that somehow this was never their fault and it was the fault of politicians (who they happen to exert great influence over).
11 fighters have used TRT in the UFC, 11! This is the most overrated story in all of MMA, it's 2.2% of the roster, and they haven't even performed well. I think the record for TRT users is something like 7-15-1, or in that neighborhood.
Typical Zac Arnold trash Zuffa everything is a conspiracy piece

I hope your other 29 posts are this solid. So true. VTFU!
This dude is such a crybaby ever since his precious Japanese MMA died and UFC took over the world.
lol @ a "plague" being a couple years of a tiny, TINY handful of fighters having mixed success while on TRT. What absurd hyperbole.
Not one of the 15 fighters supposedly on TRT ever won a belt, unless you count Dan becoming Strikeforce's "we have 3 guys in our division and all 3 have been champion" lightheavy champion. Their total combined record on TRT is .500 or worse, and that's even with Vitor's excellent record (keep in mind he was undefeated at middleweight since dropping there pre-TRT) bringing it up.
I wouldn't be surprised if Zach was one of those who were positive that Kizer was forced out by the UFC so that they could get someone in who would give Vitor a TUE.

It was hard to get past the self patting on the back, banning TRT is a battle won but the anti-doping war should wage on.
When he said "I even wrote about the pro-steroid marriage between Fox and UFC. Trust me, that article got proper insider attention and worried some powerful people.
But for all the digital ink I've spilled on the testosterone topic, the reality is that all I could do was be an influencer. The majority of people who read this site are in the press or politics. We have healthy numbers but we're not a powerhouse. Our importance is being an ideas clearinghouse for other media outlets to pick up the ball and roll with what we discuss."

Like who? Nate Marquardt, for one. That would make 12, and according to the ESPN article, there have only been 15 in MMA. Were the other three all in the UFC as well?

Where is your source that those are the only fighters that competed for the UFC that used synthetic testosterone?
Or are you saying they were the only fighters to compete for the UFC that had a TUE?
Or are you saying they were the only fighters to compete for the UFC in the state of Nevada that had a TUE?
What are you trying to say, and where is your source?
