Max talks about Floyd's Testosterone/Epitestosterone ratio.
Avg white man 1.2 to 1 T/E.
Avg. black man 1.3 to 1 T/E.
WADA allows athletes to have T/E ratio as high as 4.0 to 1.
Floyd's T/E in previous tests was 0.69 to 1 and 0.8 to 1.
Low ratio of T/E is a red flag for PED use because it indicates "MASKING" to hide/lower high testosterone levels.

That test can detect hormones, not if they are natural or synthetic. That one quantifies the amount in the system, and is easily fooled.
Which is why the cir test is better. It can tell if there is artificial testosterone present.

Originally posted by Calabis View PostSo the CIR is not as important as Max is stressing then? Because Jones levels were crazy low and if he uses what you stated above he could still pass a CIR.
All the CIR test is looking for is if the testosterone was synthesized form phytosterol or cholesterol.

Most Boxers/MMA fighters probably have above average natural testosterone levels originally (it's the drive that makes them want to beat up and compete with other man in combat), but after years and years of constant stress and damage to the body their T levels are constantly suppressed and eventually go down a huge amount....Stress destroys your T levels...
Same is probably true of NFL players....
The human body is not designed to fight continuously for years and years like boxers/mma fighters do...
I'd very much like to see his bloodwork from the post IV test. Since we know that the got 500ml of saline just before the test we should be able get a very good approximation of his real free testosterone levels when we account for the thinning of the blood. Dollars to donuts he is over the limit.
