Rampage Jackson has received fast recovery and added muscle mass due to testosterone replacement therapy

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, a mixed martial artist and actor, reported about effects of testosterone in the interview with Gary Alexander of “Fighters Only Magazine”. He talked about his decision to administer testosterone, about its effects on increase of muscle mass, weight of the body and his sexuality. He said these words after his fail at UFC 144 in Japan.
The UFC champion was honestly telling about his decision to find a doctor that could recommend him testosterone replacement therapy. He noted openly because he thought that testosterone didn’t include in anabolic steroids. The UFC champion noted that steroids were for muscles but testosterone was natural. Thus, he was mistaken, considering that testosterone is not an anabolic steroid.
In fact, application of testosterone replacement therapy in mixed martial arts is a debated issue. Testosterone is administered legally in case of hypogonadism (low testosterone production). So, mixed martial artists who suffer from this condition may get a therapeutic use exemption which allows to apply the steroid testosterone legally.
But the issue which is widely discussed is whether the fighter who takes therapeutic quantity of testosterone may obtain unfair advantage during competitions.
The most of athletes that have obtained a therapeutic use exemption for application of testosterone for medical needs deny getting any increase of performance because of testosterone replacement therapy.
When it comes to Rampage Jackson, he admitted that testosterone replacement therapy had enhanced his muscle size, speeded his recovery from his injuries and improved his sexual life. The mixed martial artist confirmed that he had had a knee injury. After he had injected three doses of testosterone, the knee was healed. He gained bodyweight and muscle size. This mixed martial artist noticed that small doses of the steroid testosterone had produced obvious changes in him. His sexuality was improved essentially; he began to feel as if he had been only 25.
Rampage Jackson demonized steroids for his impossibility to lose weight to meet criteria of the 206lb weight category.
Rampage Jackson reports that he doesn’t violate any rule. He uses testosterone and confirms that it is legitimately.
He reports that he is happy that he utilizes testosterone.
