The Association of Boxing Commissions’ executive director is recommending that member commissions follow current protocols for testosterone exemptions, but he’s looking into Nevada’s recent ban on them. “I will ask the medical committee to consider and review Nevada’s new position on the matter which is a strong deviation from their past practice,” Tim Lueckenhoff wrote in a statement released to MMAjunkie. “I will also ask our legal committee to counsel us about the legal ramifications, if any, from an outright ban without exception for any reason.” The Nevada State Athletic Commission on Thursday became the first commission to outright ban therapeutic-use exemptions for testosterone-replacement therapy . Nevada’s move already has prompted the UFC-backed Comissao Atletica Brasileira de MMA (CABMMA), Brazil’s regulatory body, to ban exemptions for TRT, though current applicant Dan Henderson will be allowed to use the hormone for his fight with Mauricio “Shogun” Rua at UFC Fight Night 38 in May.
