Jose Aldo: Fighters who complain about TRT are pu$$ies
Jose Aldo: “A lot of people use something and hide, then they criticize people who admittedly use. I think these are a bunch of pussies trying to find an excuse.”
At a point in the sport’s development when there is nearly universal denunciation of Testosterone Replacement Therapy, UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo expressed another view, in a recent interview with Brazil’s Combate.com.br. Aldo accused critics of TRT of using PEDs themselves, and then criticizing others. He further said that its use is appropriate for older fighters. And he said it doesn’t matter to him if a fighter is using TRT or other PEDs.
“I see no problem (with TRT),” said Aldo, as translated by Fernando Arbex for BloodyElbow. “A lot of people use something and hide, then they criticize people who admittedly use. I think these are a bunch of pussies trying to find an excuse, fearing to lose fights against who’s doing a good job.
“At one point you have an age that makes it necessary and I see no problem with TRT. I would fight who is doing TRT, who isn’t, or who is using other drugs. It doesn’t matter to me anyway. The same punch I’ll throw in one of these guys, I’ll throw in another of them. If it’s allowed or not, I don’t care because I’ll still train and fight as I’m doing right now.”
