Dangers of steroids for MMA

Some mixed martial artists have publicly admitted that they administrate anabolic steroids as a part of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) that has been recommended by physicians. Keith Kizer, the executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), believes that this factor has created an impression among numerous individuals that steroid exemptions are given to allow MMA fighters to use the steroid testosterone.
During an interview with Ben Fowlkes of MMA Fighting the executive director of the NSAC noted that certain people believed that any fighter could obtain exemptions for intake of testosterone. He noted that he couldn’t say it about other states but he mentioned about the situation in Nevada. According to Keith Kizer,  it is 50/50 whether a request for steroid exemption  will be approved.
TRT is a treatment that is required for adult men that have hypogonadism (low testosterone levels). If sportspersons correspond to the medical criteria, they may be allowed to administrate steroids.
The NSAC has strict requirements for fighter that try to obtain a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) for intake of steroids. A sportsperson must have the document that displays that blood levels of testosterone are low.  But if a fighter has reduced level of testosterone, it is not enough to get a TUE. Treating physicians must name reasons and medical conditions. The details related to testosterone replacement therapy should be identified by health care providers too. Every detail must manifest that certain sportsperson has to  take testosterone for medical purposes and intake of steroids will not give unfair advantage to the athlete.
Certain top athletes of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) have administrated steroids for TRT. Chael Sonnen, Nate Marquardt, Dennis Hallman and Dan Henderson are included in the group of stars who administrate steroids for clinical needs.
Kizer claims that ban of steroids makes MMA safer. He notes that if a fighter uses steroids, he/she takes unfair advantage as if it is used knuckles that are hidden inside gloves.  Thus, this is not only lying. This situation is connected with risks for life. If you say to a fighter that you can put knuckles in the gloves so, as no one will know it, this athlete will say you not to bother him. But it is strangely that such person administrates steroids.
Undoubtedly, intake of steroids has potential risks to enhance the harm that can occur in MMA.
