this morning Vitor Belfort released his bloodwork panels from the past few months as a test he took in feb had come under major scrutiny. He had made numerous comments about how it wasnt important since it was a surprise drug test and he didnt have a fight pending at the time. Well obviously many people in the sport were interested because he has been the poster child for TRT (ab)use over the last few years.
The reason he didnt want the test getting out, which as a fighter seeking a license it would have as all drug tests are public knowledge, was because of not just that he failed, but HOW BADLY HE FAILED.
Normal range per the test LabCorp did stipulated a 348 to 1197 range for normal. Now remember, he was supposedy under a physicians care and taking only a therapeutic dosage which at this time he had been saying he already had been cutting down on since TRT was banned in MMA. So this test was after he had apparently stopped.
He banged a very appreciable 1472. Good job Vitor!
Of course he posts several months worth of tests to show he truly did stop and unfortunately for him his Dr must not know or understand how to come off stuff properly as his levels as of April 27 was at a very sad 142.
Anyway, here is a link to the bloodwork he posted this morning along with his statement:
