Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted May 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) I'm watching the Roland Garros tennis tournament right now and am honestly shocked by Rafael Nadal' level of hairloss. I always saw Rafael as a pretty boy male-model type. Ashton Kutcher with a tennis racket. I believe rumors are he's already had 1 HT. Anyone else following this?

Senior Member MAIZE1694 Posted May 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2022 I haven't seen him in years but it makes sense as I remember he always wore a bandana or hat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member asterix0 Posted May 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2022 He has had one HT that looked great but he isn't on fin so unfortunately his hair is coming apart and he has a pretty big combover going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted May 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2022 Yes, I also read that Nadal underwent a hair transplant in 2016. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Antlor Posted May 30, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted May 30, 2022 Yeah, he had a HT back in 2016 but he was probably not on finasteride. He might have aggressive male pattern baldness. He wears a headband to cover up his sparse hairline. The guy Nadal beat, Felix Auger-Aliassime, I saw him on the plane last year. He was sitting in first class. The lavoratory at the front was occupied so he walked to the back. Then I saw Felx again at baggage claim, he waited and the luggage didn't come. I think he might have become paranoid and he took off. His people must have retrieved his luggage though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NARMAK Posted May 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2022 Apparently they do not allow some athletes depending on the sport to take Finasteride because it allegedly increases performance. Personally i think that's a joke. I've yet to become The Incredible Hulk with the small workouts i have done during my time on Dutasteride. Football apparently changed the rules and now they can use Finasteride but apparently when Wayne Rooney had it done, he couldn't which would explain why his results looked so bad years later. Nadal has had a HT but like others said probably not on meds and likely for reasons above. 2 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Senior Member RTC Posted May 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 30, 2022 (edited) I've yet to see anything that suggests this, by what mechanism could this be true? That it can theoretically raise testosterone? @NARMAK Edited May 30, 2022 by Aslitarcan sucks 1 Hattingen September 2023 - Punchouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That it can theoretically raise testosterone? @NARMAK BaldBobby above gave his reason but personally speaking from the stuff i read, it's that when Testosterone doesn't convert to DHT, this means the Testosterone levels increase as a result. That's supposedly why some people still lose a lot of hair even on Finasteride because their bodies sensitive to DHT and also the increased Testosterone enough to keep losing ground. I think that's why it's going to be really important to see medications come out that people can use without affecting the bodies natural balance. Not just for athletes, but people afraid of sides from oral medications and even the topicals. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!
