Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
So, when you are taking TRT or steroids, you are giving your body so many exogenous androgens that your feedback in the pituitary says we don't need anymore and these LH and FSH compounds are not produced and the testicles don't make their own testosterone.
if a person is supplementing with testosterone it is usually very obvious to tell this from their blood work because they have unmeasurable levels of lh and fsh and usually high levels of testosterone
