Intake of steroids by athletes that suffer from hypogonadism

Intake of steroids for testosterone replacement therapy by sportspeople is a controversial issue. There are numerous debates related to it. It is known by anyone that steroids and some other related products are banned in numerous sports organizations. But if a person should administer these medications under guidelines of his/her doctor for clinical needs, he/she should obtain a therapeutic use exemption. However it is permitted to take even anabolic steroids for clinical needs, such sportspersons are often demonized and called “cheaters”. In fact, it is unfair.
What does Dana White, the UFC president, state about usage of steroids for testosterone replacement therapy? Does he blame fighters that take steroids in order to enhance their reduced levels of testosterone? The UFC president claims that any person with hypogonadism should administer steroids, if these medicines are indicated by his health care provider. Although it is fair, let note why several sportspersons suffer from decreased levels of testosterone. It is proven scientifically that steroid abuse may lead to suppression of natural testosterone production. So, certain fighters and other sportspersons that have used previously steroids for athletic purposes may suffer from hypogonadism. Hence, their health care providers prescribe them applying certain steroids in order to increase their testosterone levels.
According to the UFC president, testosterone replacement therapy is legal for all men, including professional sportsmen. Thus, if any sportsperson experiences hypogonadism, he should be allowed to take steroids indicated by his health care provider. He should get normal testosterone levels that characterize any healthy man of his age.
But Dana White underlines that any fighter or another sportsman that administers anabolic steroids and/or other forbidden medicines for athletic needs must be sentenced to bans. It is needed to make difference between those that administer steroids for therapeutic purposes and those that want to obtain muscle mass and strength with the help these medications. Nobody is allowed to administer anabolic steroids for athletic needs. It is prohibited in sports. Those that violate anti-doping rules should be punished. Sports must be free from doping.
It seems to be surprising that affirmations of Dana White differ evidentially from statements presented by anti-doping officers. As you know, words of several anti-doping officers for steroid users are much harsher than those pronounced by the UFC president.
