\nIf it was the doctors who were to blame for bringing Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) into combat sports, then it only seems fitting that those same physicians would be the ones to remove it.<\/p>\n

The Association of Professional Ringside Physicians recently issued a press release calling for the ban of ‘TRT’ and ‘TEU’ in combat sports.<\/p>\n

The press release reads as follows:<\/em><\/p>\n

For Immediate Release January 27, 2014 <\/em><\/p>\n

Association of Ringside Physicians Releases Consensus Statement on <\/em>
\nTherapeutic Use Exemptions for Testosterone Replacement Therapy <\/em><\/p>\n

The Association of Ringside Physicians (ARP), an international, non-profit <\/em>
\norganization dedicated to the health and safety of the boxer and mixed <\/em>
\nmartial arts athlete, has released a consensus statement on therapeutic use <\/em>
\nexemptions for testosterone replace therapy in professional combat sport <\/em>
\nathletes, as follows: <\/em><\/p>\n

The incidence of hypogonadism requiring the use of testosterone <\/em>
\nreplacement therapy (TRT) in professional athletes is <\/em>
\nextraordinarily rare. Accordingly, the use of an anabolic steroid <\/em>
\nsuch as testosterone in a professional boxer or mixed martial artist <\/em>
\nis rarely justified. Steroid use of any type, including unmerited <\/em>
\ntestosterone, significantly increases the safety and health risk to <\/em>
\ncombat sports athletes and their opponents. TRT in a combat sports <\/em>
\nathlete may also create an unfair advantage contradictory to the <\/em>
\nintegrity of sport. Consequently, the Association of Ringside <\/em>
\nPhysicians supports the general elimination of therapeutic use <\/em>
\nexemptions (TUE) for testosterone replacement therapy.<\/em>
