Fitness influencer Hamza has finally admitted to using testosterone for approximately 1.5 years, but only after being exposed by a former friend.
Throughout his career, Hamza claimed to be completely natural while posting numerous videos about boosting testosterone naturally, including one as recently as a month before his admission.
The confession has sparked outrage from fellow fitness YouTuber Greg Doucette, who systematically dismantled Hamza’s justifications in a scathing response video.
The controversy erupted when Hamza posted a video titled “My Experiment Injecting Testosterone for 1.5 Years,” which he subsequently deleted. Doucette notes this pattern has become characteristic of the influencer’s behavior.
According to Doucette, Hamza only came forward because his former best friend had outed him, making the admission damage control rather than genuine transparency.
Hamza’s explanations for using testosterone raise significant credibility issues. He cited several reasons, including microplastics affecting men’s testosterone levels and a medical condition called varicocele.
However, Doucette pointed out glaring inconsistencies: Hamza’s testosterone levels were already in the top 2% of men, with free testosterone levels above the reference range. As Doucette argued, “His testosterone levels were higher than mine. How are the microplastics affecting him?”
Regarding the varicocele claim, Doucette emphasized that the standard medical treatment is corrective surgery (varicocelectomy), not testosterone replacement therapy. Furthermore, TRT can actually reduce fertility, while surgery would improve it. This is an important consideration for someone who has expressed interest in having a family.
Hamza claimed he injected 150 mg of testosterone per week throughout the entire period. However, he contradicted himself by admitting his testosterone levels initially reached 1,800 ng/dL—far above his stated goal of 1,500 ng/dL.
This suggests he started at higher doses, likely around 200 mg per week, before reducing to 150 mg. Notably, Hamza provided no comprehensive blood work to verify his claims, further undermining his credibility.
The influencer’s justification for keeping his st**oid use secret was particularly problematic. He stated he couldn’t be open about it because his teenage audience might copy him, yet he promoted his physique and methods as naturally achievable.
Doucette countered that this deception was far more harmful: “Then people will go and look at Hamza and say, ‘Well, how come he did so good? He’s clearly natural, but I can’t do it. I guess I have to hop on.'”
Perhaps most troubling, Hamza revealed he’s also using peptides and conducting “other crazy experiments” beyond just testosterone, details he largely glossed over in his confession video.
The fitness community has responded with skepticism to Hamza’s explanations, viewing them as a series of implausible excuses designed to minimize the deception.
As Doucette concluded, Hamza has been “scamming you for years” by building a brand on natural fitness while secretly using PEDs.
