Vitor Belfort is cheating!!! Empty Vitor Belfort is cheating!!!

Sat May 23, 2015 6:38 am
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight No. 1 contender, Vitor Belfort, was forced to abandon his testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in early 2014, after the controversial treatment was outlawed by Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

It was that inability to secure a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) that first sabotaged his 185-pound showdown against Chris Weidman.

Fast forward more than a year later and "The Phenom" still has higher testosterone levels than the "All American," despite being eight years older (38) and suffering from hypogonadism, a condition that prevents the body from producing adequate levels of testosterone.

Combate.com has the report:

On March 16, Belfort was tested and scored 12 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) of testosterone in the body, as well as a testosterone-epitestosterone (T/E) 1.7 -- the maximum rate allowed by NAC is 6/1. Weidman was tested on March 30, and was 3.7 ng/mL testosterone and a rate T/E of 0.13. The American went through the same exam again on April 27, and appeared with identical testosterone level, and a rate T/E of 0.092. The Brazilian was examined the following day, and had 5 ng/ml of testosterone and rate T/E 1.5.

Weidman called Belfort's levels -- as well as his fluctuation -- a "great discovery."

"To tell you the truth, who does the exams is the athletic commission," Belfort told the Brazilian news outlet. "Mine worked out, his worked out, and we are here. Nowadays, I'm not worried about it, I'm focused on what I can control."

Both fighters tested negative for performance-enhancing drugs, as well as human growth hormone (HGH) and applicable masking agents ahead of their UFC 187 title fight tomorrow night (Sat., May 23, 2015) in Las Vegas, Nevada (results here).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vitor 12 ng/mL(the one with lack of same and he is not officially on TRT) Weidman 3.7 ng/mL

What is point of drug testing if you can cheat legally? I am for all legal or REAL drug testing!

Actually these tests dont mean a whole lot.

Piss tests are extremely inaccurate and vary depending on time of day amount of physical exertion and other variables.

Weidmans low t is just as strange as vitors fluctuation.

Basically, Vitor's overall levels fluctuated but then his T/E ratio remained constant. Since Urine tests are inaccurate for overall levels and since overall levels in urine change depending on time of day, diet, and activity, the change in Vitor's test isn't strange. Since his T/E ratio stayed the same, whatever changes happened in his T also happened in his E, suggesting it was a timing thing.

This was already examined to death. Huge fluctuations aren't abnormal because your body goes through daily, weekly, and monthly hormone cycles. Add training and weight cutting to that and it's just not that weird.

Talk about a 38 year old with hypogonadism, who not only is strangely capable of fighting MMA, but is doing so with high amounts of T for an athletic male of any age, thats weird.

What's really gonna trip you out is a year or two from now when people start looking in to how close T levels are to the maximums allowed for Vegas for cards held there in the last 10 years, and how guys who were never popped as cheaters were tearing through divisions while sitting at 3-5 times a natural athletes T....

The cheating has been RAMPANT.
