Competing as 'natural' while on HRT?

[mikefear]

Can you compete as a natural bodybuilder if you are on HRT for a genuine medical reason? I want to compete in a natural federation, but I am not sure if I am disqualified because of my hormone replacement therapy.. my test levels were 280 when I was 21 years old, so my doc put me on test cyp..

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

It's really all about Genetics but if you want to compete with the Big Boys I deffinately would have to say A little extra juice would only help

Yeah, but I want to compete in a natty fed.

the natty fed I know about is the OCB (0rganization of Competitive Bodybuilders). HRT disqualifies you. they polygraph too.

I think a lot of them only test for your ratio of Test:Epitest being less than 6:1 don't they?

If you are getting "mild" HRT and just supplimenting your levels may not go past 6:1

Maybe take a piss test and just check?

Above are the rules. I don't see any exemption for HRT. The definition of HRT is so abused, I don't think it can be exempted.

i dont wanna do a heavy cycle, or even a light cycle as I want to be a cop.. but I am on HRT and I'd like to compete and at least have a chance, hence the natural feds.. looks like i'm shit outta luck.
