Ben Rothwell suspended

[poopoo333]

UFC heavyweight Ben Rothwell has been suspended nine months for elevated levels of testosterone following his win over Brandon Vera at UFC 164 in August.

What's funny is that he received a TUE for TRT if I remember right. He took too much of it.

It's exactly what it is

I thought once you had an exemption you could basically do whatever you wanted.

Rothwell took it it the butt, too much test for him. Disqualified.

No. You still have to test in normal ranges. TRT is meant to boost low testosterone, not to give you off the charts levels.

[SPX]

So Reem got his exemption just so he could be "normal?"

Correct. Unless I'm a complete tard and have this wrong.

Yeah that's right. Those guys are still heavily tested and their levels have to fall in the normal range.
