With all due respect Dio, you are completely wrong about what you are saying and are misinformed, along with a large percentage of the rest of the MMA community, who do not understand how a T/E ratio works, or the details surrounding Chael's CSAC case. Let me break it down for you and anyone who may read this who is misinformed and does not understand this whole thing.

When someone needs TRT they have low testosterone, so they are injected with testosterone only. When this happens, their T level raises, but their E level does not as they are not injected with epitestosterone but only testosterone. Therefore, the T/E ratio is made more extreme, however, the testosterone levels can still be in the range of a normal adult male. Just because there is more testosterone than epitestosterone absolutely doesn't mean the person is at higher levels of testosterone than a normal adult, or is abusing, as it is only indicative that the individual was taking testosterone. For anyone to know an individual's actual testosterone levels blood must be taken and analyzed, which was NOT done by the CSAC and was made clear during his actual hearing in regards to the specific point I am making here now. Also, he was suspended for failure to disclose his TRT, not because he was shown to have higher testosterone than a normal male (which was not proven nor disproven because of the lack of a blood test to make such a determination prior to the fight, which again, was pointed out during his CSAC hearing). Furthermore, to reinforce that point, if Chael was convicted of abusing testosterone he would not have had his suspension reduced, however, it was and was made clear by the CSAC that the only reason he would still serve some suspension was failure to disclose TRT.

A 16/1 T/E ratio for example is LEGAL for someone on TRT as long as they are approved of and disclose the TRT use and take blood tests to prove they are in a normal range of testosterone and aren't abusing it.

Isn't that what I said?
