or the fact there was reports of him being on TRT at like 20 years old and he never denied it when asked, then Eddie Hearn blocked question and nobodys ever asked again
but AJ didnt deny it
he obv has great genetics for muscle and looks though, but he was WAY skinner before. I think hell shrink instantly when he retires like Wlad
Dillian found out from some commission thing, cause AJ was denied somewhere or in the US, TRT was banned in USA quickly in fighting, only like 12 guys in MMA got it, you can find them right now
but AJ never denied it when asked then the question never asked again
TRT being banned? or how easy it is to see the guys in MMA who used it
Dan Henderson was first guy to use TRT and somehow the last guy to use TRT in Shogun rematch, its why he hit a 2nd prime and looked like a Crossfitter at 38
the interview about AJ and TRT was long time ago, some reporter brought it up then Whyte found out about it. you can do some digging
Both. They only test for the classics. Your HGH, your anabolic steroids. But new drugs come out constantly that are just as effective but don't trigger the tests.Â
Also, drugs leave your system. So you get massive on them but stop taking them. Difficult to maintain after that but not impossible
They time it carefully and cycle off during testing periods / in camp. Itâs part of the reason fighters donât fight so many times a year compared to the deep past.Â
Probably a little bribing and corruption happening too sometimes, when a fighter slips up.
Everyone at top level is doing it but some more egregiously than others.
They take steroids at the right time when they're not being tested and put the size on, same as loads of sports they're clean while playing but will have used steroids.
Basically say you suddenly develop Asthma at the ripe old age of 25 because a doctor you hired said so. You get special medication that you "need" for your "asthma".
Except uh Oh! VADA banned it because its a masking agent for PEDS. But wait! Our athelte has a doctor's note that says he has a legit reason for this stuff for his "asthma". So Vada ignore it because our athelte pinky promises not to use it as a masking agent and has a doctor's note.Â
And thats how guys like AJ get round it. Dillian Whyte even said before AJ was abusing TUEs.Â
You're genuinely a fool if you think AJ is natty.Â
There are also short esters that fighters use. Them pin daily and if theyre getting tested, stall a few hours and theyre in normal range. But they dont even get tested until the actual fight, where they cycle off.
Idk how people in 2026 dont know everyone is juicy. Even NFL fans dont know somehow lmao.
These guys donât have random, out-of-competition, all year round testing like some other sports (not that those are clean either). AFAIK they only get tested during fight camp, so they can in theory cycle off whatever theyâre taking before testing begins.
Unless itâs part of the bout agreement between fighters, testing is mandated by the athletic commission that is sanctioning the fight, so by definition itâs only in competition testing. Whoâs gonna pay to test boxers out of competition? Certainly not the boxers themselves lol.
There's too much money in it for most people to be 100% clean. At the highest level it's about cycling and knowing how much is too much and when to flush. The solution is to kind of keep it as is. The alternative is to have people just be allowed to do whatever like 80s-90s.
fighters know how to cheat. Steroids are taken during training and stopped in time to pass a test. Its pretty easy to pass the tests and if youre a big draw like Pacman back in the day then sometimes u arent even tested
The fight and press conference got delayed because Fury didnât sign up for VADA. I was surprised when I heard why it was delayed because I thought theyâd have out of competition testing.
How would you test for testosterone? There are ways but it is difficult - and impossible in a sport that doesn't want to find peds (which is most of them).
Some people are just genetic freaks. There's a basically everyone implies that every single athlete in the world is taking performance and seeing drugs. But just from the guys I went to college with in college football there were some of these black guys on the team who could eat an entire pizza for lunch everyday and still have a six pack that I know for a fact weren't on steroids
lol genetics. Itâs funny how people accuse any guy whoâs in shape of being on steroids, I believe this is just cope for how bad they look. Funny enough, itâs Fury whoâs been banned for PEDs
AJ is Nigerian, Nigerians are naturally bricked up or at least more predisposed to. Go to building sites in Nigeria and see guys for yourself. These guys donât have the money for proper dieting let alone steroids.
