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

[Roman Moreno]

I think Golden Boy are going to do all they can to keep all the money they've invested into the fight. They've already indicated that saying if the Commission license him then he can fight. I don't think they'll go out their way to cancel it.

I think Peterson's lawyers are going to do their very best in using things like "Peterson requested the testing" whilst having a Doctor's note for low testosterone or whatever.

It's so strange all these fighter's seem to have low testosterone

Exactly, plus Golden Boy have also already questioned VADA methods. It's crazy.

But, yea very strange

WTF is "“testosterone pellets" ? How unofficial sounding can you be. Do they know what drug he actually took or what his testosterone levels were?

Look at the James Toney and Vargas situations, they named the drug they tested positive for and that was just the standard piss test.

It was synthetic testosterone.

Who changed from no to yes?

What are you talking about?

Ward did.

I guess the testing isnt "too expensive" anymore

It was synthetic testosterone.

well I found this:

""Then when the 'B' sample came back positive, sometime thereafter, Jeff said Lamont remembered that a doctor had given him testosterone pellets in October of 2011.

"I spoke to a doctor, and my understanding is, these pellets are semi-solid, and you put them under your arm, and it slowly absorbs into your glands. If you had low testosterone, a doctor would give it to you, but if you found out in April that you tested positive for it, wouldn't it jog your memory? Apparently it didn't. He's supposed to disclose everything in his system, and he didn't disclose this. We'll wait and see what happens.""



That is ****ing ******ed if he had those implanted last November and went and demanded for VADA testing.... and still you dont test positive for testosterone, you have abnormally high levels, such as x times more than average. Everyone has testosterone. Mother Teresa's blood had testosterone in it.

Or not an "issue" like it was for the AA fight.

And, lets be honest how truly big is this fight?

It's not a super fight. Yet there is a question whether or not if this fight will go through.

Imagine a super fight? A true big fight? I have no doubts that a super fight no matter what would go through.

You right, if that's the case then what's the point of the test.

Well its a one of the big fights outside of Pac and Floyd right now. Very important for both fighters, especially Khan who was building and now who knows what will happen to both of those titles.

I dont know, i just think GBP really wants it to go on

Lem: NSAC has a letter from Peterson's camp saying testerone treatment was "justified and strictly for medical concerns"

Knew it. Saw that coming a mile off.

Is there a date or hearing or anything set for his license?

How are the commission going to go about it?

Not sure what's going to happen. Maybe fighters who are medically inclined to take testosterone should present that information to the commission and the involved camps before contracts are signed. That way the opposite camp has a fair chance to agree or decline signing of contracts to avoid these situations. Even more, they can have the levels monitored throughout the camp.

Hell, maybe they do already. Just sounds like a good concept, to be fair.

They are suppose to disclose anything they take that could possibly cause a positive test

But i guess Peterson just "forgot" that he was taking steroids and only remembered when he was caught
