That's not really a performance-enhancing drug for injuries.
But testosterone, all these different steroids, all these different things.
The thing about combat sports in particular is that you can't use those things.
But when you can use them, you see these older athletes that have the mind of an older athlete but the body that works like a young guy.
My favorite example of that is Vitor Belfort when he was in his prime.
TRT Vitor was the scariest fucking guy ever.
Because he was jacked up with testosterone, but he was also 37 years old with a lifetime of combat sport experience, a lifetime of intelligence, but hadn't lost any speed, hadn't lost any strength, and, in fact, had, like, superhuman speed and strength because he was juicy, super juicy.
But it makes you think, like, man, what would the sport look like if that was open to everybody?
It is interesting because there's a lot of guys that want to keep competing, but their body just doesn't respond the way it used to to training because they're 37 or 38 or 39.
But if you could get them on the sauce.
Well, that's why I really love this whole idea of doing the enhanced games.
It didn't really pan out the way everybody hoped.
