Exclusive | Pro Fighter Shah Bobonis Dives Into PED Dilema | Fist-Ta-Cuff Radio

BJPENN.COM News - February 19, 2013

It seems a month doesn’t go by where we don’t hear of at least one positive test for banned substances in Mixed Martial Arts. Lots of different opinions on what needs to be done to clean the sport up float around but not much gets done in the way of change to the current norms. Some say that better testing is the key to stopping PED use in the sport. Experts on the subject like Victor Conte have criticized current testing saying that they are more of an IQ test rather than a test to catch cheaters. Another opinion circulating is that if penalties for offenders were harsher that it would curve the willingness for fighters to risk suspension or a lifetime band. Finally a small portion of the peanut gallery is of the mind, “let all those brutes take anything they want”. Throw in the current state of TRT which is not helping bring any clarity to a subject more controversial than wrestling being ousted from the Olympics and the PED problem in Mixed Martial Arts is in dire need of being addressed. First I’d like to give my opinion on TRT; even as a fighter who could benefit from TRT, on the wrong side of thirty, who got into combat sports at a relatively late age, I do not agree with it. It gives fighters in their late thirties and early forties a huge advantage over younger fighters. Now not only do these more mature fighters have a wealth of experiences in fight preparation, fights and number of repetitions put in during years of training but they are operating with the same vitality as someone half their age while on TRT. As a maturing fighter you know that as pure physical ability starts to diminish the ability to be able to call upon a wealth of knowledge becomes increasingly more important. Now in the case of a fighter like Vitor Belfort who has over a decade of UFC experience, has had a black belt for longer than most 20 year olds have been training and now add the fact that he is allowed to enhance his training so that he can function like a 18 year old, how is that fair? It totally takes away the factors that would make the fight even between that type of fighter and a fighter in their early twenties. If someone mentions the Jones fight to me Ill scream because really how many of those types of fighters are walking the earth.
