Politics is complicated, and things tend to move slowly. The most powerful government body in combat sports, the Nevada State Athletic Commission, did hold a hearing last spring to address the TRT issue. Rather than enact a change in policy, however, the NSAC opted to study the situation further. Meanwhile, as the status quo lives on in MMA, we see more progressive steps being taken in cycling, a sport known for its doping perhaps more than any other. Great.
