Regular Member JonDoe Posted June 10, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 10, 2022 Can't be on PED'S as long as he's an active fighter on the UFC roster, USADA randomly drug tests them once a month, no matter where he is in the world. If he fails the random drug tests he gets a suspension for minimum of 1 year and a hefty fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MAIZE1694 Posted June 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2022 Just want to get this out of the way. I'm not advocating for a no-lifting approach. You should be working out heavy and often. Along with low intensity sustained cardio. But if you're also prone to MPB, get on FIN as well to be safe.

It's actually so bad it would be funny if it wasn't sad at guys who may not be using and putting their lives on the line or missing out on success against cheats. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Senior Member TommyLucchese Posted June 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2022 I noticed his crown thinning 2 or 3 years ago. He broke his foot last July and hasn't been able to kick since, so he got into weightlifting only in the last year. Therefore I don't think the two are related. 2,000 grafts FUT Dr. Feller, July 27th 2012. 23 years old at the time. Excellent result. Need crown sorted eventually but concealer works well for now. Propecia and minoxidil since 2010. Fine for 8 years - bad sides after switching to Aindeem in 2018. Switched to topical fin/minox combo from Minoxidil Max in October 2020, along with dermarolling 1x a week.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 10, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted June 10, 2022 Based on MPMD video, he hasn’t been drug tested the whole year. I think his size and leanness is more indicative of steroids than the hair loss itself. But I really do hate when a muscular guy is balding, it’s automatically “steroids.” Definitely not true.

Senior Member SimpleLife Posted June 10, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 10, 2022 Mcgregor looked perfectly fine bald. HT wasnt necessary. I doubt he'll use any medication, maybe minoxidil/dermaroller. Btw he did his HT after Porier pointed out his receding hairline during a staredown lol He kinda shot himself in the foot (like I did) But all of this shows that you can be the most famous, have a godlike physique, 100s of millions, NBA superstar and still feel bad about having no hair. This obsession for perfection probably made them big in the first place tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all of them are doing sneaky stuff and taking other stuff that masks the proper stuff, and then get busted for taking the masking stuff because that's also considered banned stuff. Active fighters definitely CAN be on PEDs. Also, Conor isn't on active status as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Ryan Daniel Posted August 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) - Update on McGregor's hair transplant Photo taken August 26th 2022. Clearly he is not on any medication and his hair transplant looks worse than it did in April! I believe he got it around December 2021? He should be at 8 or 9 month's now, this is not looking good at all for him. But at least it isn't pluggy Turkish grafts! What do you guys think?

For 8-9 months, that frontal hairline isn't looking great. Its really gappy and he's going to need another procedure to sort that lack of density out. There's little chance new growths probably going to happen but some little hairs in the frontal hairline might thicken up. Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

Big misconception that steroids cause balding. Very true. More natural testosterone in the body means that it’s easier to gain muscle. More testosterone also affects hair loss, so the two can often go hand in hand. A muscular balding man isn’t automatically on steroids. It must really piss off the baldies who have put so much effort in at the gym, to automatically be accused of juicing up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Vann Posted August 27, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 27, 2022 You guys are basing some of the conclusions that each factors is not mutually exclusive and independent of one another. Even if you take steroids it will not be the reason you lose hair. The reason most people lose hair is their hair follicles sensitivity to DHT. You could have steroid level DHT and still not lose hair if you hair follicles are not sensitive. Perhaps as a side effect hairs that are sensitive would fall out sooner. But it wouldn't be the sole factor you lose the hair. Perhaps the hair reached a level where its threshold is not able to resist that DHT level, thing is you cant really go "ok I went from 10% dht then took anabolics to 90% dht and my hair will only be affected at 91%." No one really knows. The case where people are saying its your genetic disposition to whether or not you would lose hair is more accurate. Also the statement that working out is the cause of hair loss is very false. That would be like saying everyone who drinks water will die... everyone drinks water and everyone will eventually pass away but not because one causes the other. But to answer the question, do I believe Mcgreggor is on performance enhancing drugs and is taking medication is yes to both. I think if he is taking anabolics hes probably taking pills and taking a form of dutasteride to cover some of the anabolics. (depending on the type of drug test they perform fin/dut can sometimes be 'helpful') 1 Follow my first hair transplant journey 3,252 Grafts a minimum of 6,712 hairs June 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
