Usage of steroids by fighters can increase harms which are usually caused in MMA

Certain mixed martial artists have publicly admitted that they use anabolic steroids as a part of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) that has been prescribed by health care providers. The executive director of the Nevada State Athletic commission (NSAC) Keith Kizer confirms that this factor has created a perception among many individuals that steroid exemptions are given to allow MMA fighters to use the steroid testosterone.
During an interview with Ben Fowlkes of MMA Fighting the executive director of the NSAC said that some people thought that any fighter could obtain exemptions for intake of testosterone. He noted that he couldn’t say it about other states but he described the situation in Nevada. According to Kizer,  it is 50/50 whether a request for steroid exemption  will be approved.
TRT is a therapy which is required for adult males who have hypogonadism (reduced testosterone levels). If sportspeople correspond to the medical criteria, they may be allowed to take steroids.
The NSAC has strict requirements for those who want to get a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) for administration of steroids. A sportsperson must show the document that displays that blood levels of testosterone are low.  But if an athlete has low level of testosterone, it is not sufficient to obtain a TUE. Treating doctors must identify reasons and medical conditions. The details connected with testosterone replacement therapy should be identified by doctors too. Each detail should manifest that certain sportsperson should  take testosterone for medical purposes and administration of steroids will not give unfair advantage to the athlete.
Some top athletes of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) have taken steroids for TRT. Chael Sonnen, Nate Marquardt, Dennis Hallman and Dan Henderson belong to the starts of the UFC who take steroids for clinical needs.
Keith Kizer, the executive director of the NSAC claims that ban of steroids makes MMA safer. He adds that if a fighter takes steroids, he/she takes unfair advantage as if it is used knuckles that are hidden inside gloves.  Thus, this is not just cheating. This aspect is linked with risks for life. If you say to a fighter that you can put knuckles in the gloves so, as no one will know it, this person will say you not to bother him. But it is strangely that such fighter takes steroids.
No one doubts that administration of steroids has potential risks to enhance the harm which can occur in MMA.
