Comments Thread For: NSAC: Peterson Not Licensed, Took Testosterone Pellets

It caught him now because it was a random test.

It wasn't a set date like the first fight.

Why are people finding this so hard to comprehend?

So he faked an injury, went to a Vegas doctor, and said 'what ya got for me?' Got it.

Well that would have depended on how high his testosterone level was.

If it was just 5.5x above the normal nothing would have triggered the test. Because, at that time WADA was still using what Nevada is using now 6:1 T/E ratio. They didn't change it to 4:1 until 2005.

And, FWIW, 4:1 might still be a little too high.

No... I'm talking about LITERALLY modafinil. That was part of the "BALCO package".

Modafinil is an anti-narcolepsy drug that Balco athletes were using as a stimulant. Tricky bastards, they were.



Sprinter Likely to Lose Medals

Track and field's world governing body has rejected the sprinter Kelli White's explanation for taking a stimulant, recommending that she be stripped of the gold medals she won at 100 and 200 meters at the recent world championships in Paris.

The International Association of Athletics Federations, which governs the sport, said yesterday it believed that White should receive a public warning for the use of the stimulant modafinil, which means she faces disqualification from the world championships. In addition to losing her medals, she stands to forfeit $160,000 in prize money, but she will not be barred from competition.

White will be granted a hearing before the United States Anti-Doping Agency, which will rule on the case. No date for the hearing has been set. If White and the I.A.A.F. accept the eventual ruling by the agency, the case will be closed. If either side disagrees, the final arbiter will be the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland.

White said she took modafinil to combat the fatigue and sleep-inducing affects of narcolepsy. She failed to notify the I.A.A.F. that she was using the stimulant, however, and she did not obtain a waiver. She said she did not know the substance was banned. Modafinil is not listed among prohibited performance-enhancing drugs, but is considered a related substance. ''The explanation has been studied and turned down,'' Istvan Gyulai, general secretary of the I.A.A.F., told The Associated Press. ''Our experts have determined the stimulant is performance-enhancing.''

Why wasn't Peterson caught the first time around though?

Because when you know the date you can change the cycle to avoid testing positive! Its really simple. Thats why the big boys test RANDOMLY and that why the cheaters WANT TO KNOW WHEN.

[deejd]

LOL!! he just posted that the first time around wasnt "random".. do u know what random means? it means that they can show anytime they want. the first time it wasnt random so peterson knew when to dope and when not too.

I know, I posted before he responded to my initial question... are you okay? I'm sure he can post for himself.

[Gino Ros]

True, but advocating and demanding such test proves nothing either. Case in point Peterson.

That's false logic. Peterson being busted via urine doesn't obviate blood testing.

The two go in concert.

If he had been busted via blood testing, would urine testing then be unnecessary?

[junior gong]

Pac's fault for refusing blood for 2 years.

Pac's fault for wanting the same test that didn't catch Peterson the first time around.

Sure is.

No it isnt.

[Roman Moreno]

Why wasn't Peterson caught the first time around though?

I just told you. Again the first time the testing was a set day, post fight and maybe a pre fight at the weigh-in. That's it.

This was random since the fight was signed anytime no notice.

Do you see the difference?

So he faked an injury, went to a Vegas doctor, and said 'what ya got for me?' Got it.

Wait? WTF is this?

So sorry but what?

[BoxingGenius27]

Again you're missing his point. Which one of those fights have random urine testing?

None of them.

Vargas and Roy were caught by the post test that the commission use.

But, none of them were random urine testing. Which is Russian point.

Again, not sure how much simplistic I can make his point for you.

Random urine or not; it was still a urine test by the commission that Peterson beat.

[deejd]

just kinda annoying when he already posted the answer twice and ur still repeating urself. makes me wodnering if u're ok.

Maybe if you understood why I asked the first time around, you wouldn't be annoyed?

[BoxingGenius27]

if a dirty fighter gets a pass then whats the point?? peterson is a nobody and he's getting a pass, u actually think if guys like pac (not saying he's on it) were to get caught their gonna stop the fight when they didnt for peterson? LOL!! put your hate for pac aside.

I would hope that they would stop the fight. If they don't, that's BS.
