Victor Conte — whose post-BALCO-scandal career has seen him once again working with pro athletes, including boxers — has commented on Twitter about Lamont Peterson’s testing positive for synthetic testosterone.

These are a few of the highlights:

“My opinion is that Lamont Peterson’s use of synthetic testosterone could be a smart method of doping and beat almost all test methods,” Conte wrote.

“200 mg [testosterone] pellet delivers 2 mg [testosterone] per day for about 100 days w/stable blood and urine levels. Boost T, yet under 4:1 [ratio] radar. Perfect.

“Plain and simple. Lamont Peterson did not make a declaration of use to anybody. Why?” he wrote.

“Testosterone use by pellet, gel, patch, oral, cream and injection are all prohibited without TUE [therapeutic-use exemption]. I think Peterson has a tough row to hoe.

“News flash for boxing: Peterson’s doctor does not determine which substances are on an anti-doping prohibited substances list.”
