One of the fighters he happens to manage is Antonio &#8220;Bigfoot&#8221; Silva, who is a known user of TRT, and who tested beyond the legal limits for his fight against Mark Hunt. So it&#8217;s no surprise that Davis is against the recent ban on TRT by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).<\/p>\n<p>Davis spoke with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2014\/2\/27\/5454656\/alex-davis-trt-ban-is-not-the-solution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting.com<\/a> about why he feels the ban is not the right move.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think it\u2019s wrong because many people need it for medical reasons,&#8221; Davis said. &#8220;If you have low testosterone, you need it. They shouldn\u2019t ban it. Some people abuse testosterone in many cases, but I don\u2019t think that banning TRT will change it because there are other ways to cheat the drug tests.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That\u2019s not the solution. We need better testing. There are a lot of PEDs that we don\u2019t even know yet, but people are using it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only athlete I manage that is on TRT is \u2018Bigfoot,\u2019 and it\u2019s proven clinically that he needs it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He\u2019s not cheating or anything like that. If you have low testosterone, you should have the right to use it to get your testosterone to normal levels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s because of Vitor or not, but the whole TRT thing is misunderstood,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It\u2019s a medical situation. Low testosterone affects your training and your performance. Every fighter should have the right to have normal testosterone levels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Agree\/disagree?
