Bisping comments on Belfort TRT use
In the aftermath of revelations that his UFC on FX 7 opponent Vitor Belfort was on TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy), Michael Bisping has given his thoughts on the controversial treatment.
Bisping, who was knocked out in the second round of the fight, says he bears Vitor no ill will and doesn’t consider the TRT and direct factor in the win, but he doesn’t like its prevalence in the modern sport.
“Over the past couple years, and even right before the fight, I have made my views on TRT very, very clear. I don’t feel that I need to go into depth about it again right now.
“All I have to add, about this specific instance, is that it is very disappointing that someone who was caught cheating with testosterone in the past, now gets to use testosterone legally.
“A well-known side effect of steroids is that it reduces testosterone, so I don't understand how it would make sense to then grant someone an exemption to then increase testosterone.
“All that being said, I am not here to make excuses or cry over spilled milk. I fight in the best organization in the world, The UFC, and am very excited to work and earn a title fight, the right way. That process starts by whooping Alan Belcher's ass at UFC 159 on Saturday, April 27th, live on PPV.
“Thanks everyone for their support – can’t wait to spend some time with British UFC fans in London next week and I will be back, better than ever.”
