Re: for those on testosterone replacement therapy [VO2Matt]

I stand corrected (it can be done, even on ST). Perfectly legal in the black and white world. FDA approved for women means it can be ‘off label’ prescribed to men. Any FDA approved drug can be prescribed by any doctor to anyone under the auspice of ‘off-label’. Since you put you are a doctor, this wasn’t for you. I say this for anyone else that is reading. Educating.

Now…you say you haven’t raced? You sure you just didn’t race an event 28 Sept?

I was told it was off label, but it was also our best shot. I think it’s use for this is much more common than you think.

Do you know what “off label” means? Either you didn’t and would not ask which is DUMB or you did and that makes you a TURD in my book. It’s ILLEGAL for them to have prescribed, plain and simple.

Yes, the everyone is doing it excuse. And you have no clue what I think. I do find it hard that in a previous thread you called yourself an athlete and needed advice for training while doing HRT. Training for what? People usually say they are working out if not competing. Training for a race?

Unless my last name change in the last month and I reverse aged 3 years. The last race I did was a dinky 5k back in 2010. I haven’t been able to run more than 30 min at a time, let alone finish a whole race.

I get what you mean about the off label. Before I went on it, it was fully discussed that it was off label and that the effects were not well documented. It was also my only hope of avoiding a TEFNA, and the specialist I was seeing has had good results with it in the past. I completely knew what I was getting myself into before hand.

Could stronger be your google-fu. No need to out him but it took me 90 seconds to find him, and I believe that he hasn’t raced.
