I listened to the interview on MMA Hour today and if I understood correctly, he stated his levels were actually below the bottom of the acceptable range on Sunday, so that suggests to me (if it's true) that maybe it was due to the treatment. It sounded as if he could've had one last test hours before the fight that he would've passed with flying colors. I dunno....if the PSAC clears him later this week, maybe the story was true. But if they don't reinstate him, it brings it all back into question.The reason the PSAC wanted him to cycle off for 8 weeks was because cutting weight causes the same exact symptoms Marquardt was having: Low testosterone, irritability, fatigue, aches and pains, etc.
So the PSAC wanted to see if the symptoms Marquardt was having was actually due to a drop in testosterone (which is a real medical condition) or simply side effects from him cutting weight to make 170 lbs. And instead of following their instructions, Marquardt took even MORE testosterone (higher dosage) up until a week before the fight which obviously resulted in him having elevated levels above the acceptable range the day of the fight.
And remember, the PSAC raised Marquardt's acceptable range level above the normal acceptable range level given to other fighters because he disclosed he was undergoing TRT meaning the PSAC gave him a range of what a normal person doing TRT would have and Marquardt's levels even exceeded that so dude STILL failed.
he stated his levels were actually below the bottom of the acceptable range on Sunday
Brett Rogers career is over...well not that he was going anywhere, but now its really over. If you havent heard, do a quick search and you'll see his new training partner is his wife and kids apparently.
