Earlier today the Nevada State Athletic Commission banned TRT from combat sports.
It’s a blow for many fighters who use the controversial therapy and many took to twitter with their thoughts.

TRT is finally banned, now we can only hope that 1 day we will have Olympic level drug screening in MMA. So we can catch the EPO, HGH users

Good news on the ban of TRT use in Nevada. So what does this mean in other states?

No more TRT? Good.Sports shouldn't be on a level playing field based on genetics and hard work. This is a huge step in the right direction.

I’m okay with the Nevada Commission banning TRT… But if they start checking ice cream levels I am going to be really upset. #MMA #UFC @ufc

I've said it before but getting rid of TRT is the right move for the sport “@unclePat2: @kennyflorian @ufc whats your view kenny”

Nevada just banned the use of synthetic testosterone for fighters. Shit just got real. Literally.

Very happy to see TRT banned, absolutely a ridiculous idea to start with and a major factor of my personal retirement from fighting

The Nevada State Athletic Commission banned testosterone. It is a great day for the sport. I hope all states follow suit. #TRT

So TRT is now officially banned in Nevada. U could argue I only have one loss on my record. After I beat Kennedy I want my shot at the title
