I think you misunderstand something here.

The negative effects described in this study come from starving yourself and in this situation taking thyroid would make things even worse.
"Percent body fat declined from 14.8% to 4.5%"

Strength training in general has many positive effects though. So don't worry about it unless you are starving yourself to be "competitive".
