In the powerlifting community, it was a pretty well known fact. None of my women friends that competed (that weren't on anabolic steroids) would be on hormonal birth control because it would affect their training.
I'm surprised the article mentions it's not known by doctors.
I'm also surprised that male birth control pills don't exist yet. In my mind it is the easiest thing ever, exogenous testosterone basically solves the problem. We know it's fairly reversible because lifters go on that stuff for years and then still manage to have kids.
It's "just" a matter of figuring out the correct dosages and figuring out how long before it becomes effective.
I suspect significantly more men would be willing to take birth control pills if it was making them "jacked".
