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

[Prawn Jovi]

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

Okay, gotcha. I just wasn't sure if that was standard operating procedure. In any case, it's an unfortunate case all around. Except for Carson Jones maybe.

Curious as to why you didn't bold that it was an issue? Weird.

Anyways, in what you posted he was talking about price the cost being too expensive. But, again VADA is cheaper than WADA and VADA was up and running when Froch fight was happening. So you agree that excuse doesn't fly right?

Also he said he wanted it implemented for Froch? Why would he wanted implemented for Froch when apparently it was already contractual agreed upon. According to Ward team? That's contradiction. Did Ward team lied about about it having contractual agreed upon? Like Ward lied about Victor Conte?

Again maybe not the same excuses and lies or as many. But, an excuse is an excuse and a lie is a lie.

He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt.

In the interview, Ward was talking about WADA. Notice how he mentioned what Mayweather had been doing for previous fights. How do you know Ward knew about VADA or even if he felt VADA was legit or not at the time?

If VADA was so legit at the time, then why do you keep referring to Rick Reeno's article about how they implemented WADA for the SS? In other words, at the time, if the promoters knew they could save money and get the same test results as WADA via VADA, why not just make VADA mandatory?

It sounds like at the time, the SS implemented WADA for a few of the SS fights. Dirrel vs AA didn't have WADA; not sure why you're making it out to be like when Ward vs AA didn't have it, this was completely out of the norm.

Anyway, back to the point at hand. Unless you're within Team Ward's circle, how do you know what testing protocol he was aware of when he was giving an interview about WADA? His whole stance on WADA was it was very expensive; which it was/is. Now that we know of VADA's effectiveness, I hope it's implemented in future fights. But to sit here and say:

1. Ward is wrong for not saying anything about VADA in an interview he was doing about WADA means he's roiding is reaching.

2. Calling Ward a liar because he mentioned something about having Froch tested when according to you, it was already mandated for Froch to be tested isn't necessarily a "LIE". Maybe he didn't understand his 50 page contract or however many pages are in fighter contracts. You are really reaching to the tenth power here.

Go read the other thread they said both khan and peterson was asked to give a sample of their urine during the press in la or something. Now will u stfu??

Team Peterson said they used Testorone Pellets "before" the fight in December and beat the test; which explains why he tested positive in March.

Did you read the article?

[Danny Gunz]

Lol, as soon as this Peterson got cauught with something story came out I called right off the bat it was gonna be test, and his team was gonna claim TRT with a 'low testosterone'.

****in joke, not only that he admitted to taking it before the first Khan fight. I seriously used to really like Peterson but he just made himself look like a fool for getting caught after demanding testing.

In my eyes anyone, and I seriously mean anyone is suspect of using something at this point.

Cyclists have year round random blood testing and they still get away with it. OST will only catch those who don't now what they are doing or make a mistake.

Said his lawyer

Said his lawyer

Based on an ESPN article, a doctor said this as well.

Like I said before, if this is true, my beef is with Peterson, but more with the commission for not catching the cheater "before" he inflicted punishment in December.

If this is the first time the commission didn't catch a dirty fighter, that would be one thing. But based on the fact that they have a track record for not catching dirty fighters is why I actually believe that Peterson took it "before" the fight in December.

And the pactards keep saying the official tests from the commission are fine.

It has been known for a while that nevada commission is more or less garbage testing compared to the PEDs available, that is why these other testing companies are being hired to step in.

In the interview, Ward was talking about WADA. Notice how he mentioned what Mayweather had been doing for previous fights. How do you know Ward knew about VADA or even if he felt VADA was legit or not at the time?

Because, he was working with Victor Conte. Which he lied about BTW.

If VADA was so legit at the time, then why do you keep referring to Rick Reeno's article about how they implemented WADA for the SS? In other words, at the time, if the promoters knew they could save money and get the same test results as WADA via VADA, why not just make VADA mandatory?

Because, Abraham promoter Sauerland promotions works with WADA agency NADA. Which is the same as Floyd working with WADA agency USADA.

Sauerland had it under contract a year before Floyd even came out of retirement to fight JMM that every fighter who signs for them or a Sauerland promotional event would have to go under NADA(One of WADA agency) testing. Which includes random blood and urine testing.

That's why AA fights with Taylor and Froch which were solely Sauerland promoted events had the test. And, that is why Sauerland asked Ward for a WADA agency -which is USADA, same as the one that Floyd uses- to handle the testing. Because again they have work together for a couple years.

It sounds like at the time, the SS implemented WADA for a few of the SS fights. Dirrel vs AA didn't have WADA; not sure why you're making it out to be like when Ward vs AA didn't have it, this was completely out of the norm.

It didn't, but the Dirrell wasn't a Sauerland promotion event. It was a Gary Shaw promotion that took place in Detroit. And, my theory is that they didn't really care regardless. Because, AA at the time was seen as a killer while Dirrell was seen as green.

The AA-Ward fight was a co-promoted event. Which they had to negotiate venue, ref, judges, and lets be honest AA had lost 2 out of 3 and was looking crap. And, Ward was dominating the tournament. Pretty sure they feared Ward. So unlike with Dirrell. They wanted this for Ward and asked for it while negotiating. Again unlike Dirrell. However, it became an "ISSUE"

Anyway, back to the point at hand. Unless you're within Team Ward's circle, how do you know what testing protocol he was aware of when he was giving an interview about WADA? His whole stance on WADA was it was very expensive; which it was/is. Now that we know of VADA's effectiveness, I hope it's implemented in future fights. But to sit here and say:

I'm saying that him using it being to costly as an excuse for not having it in the Froch fight is an excuse that doesn't fly. Because, there was VADA that he knew about.

1. Ward is wrong for not saying anything about VADA in an interview he was doing about WADA means he's roiding is reaching.

No you're acting as if it's just one thing that I'm focusing on. It's making an issue out of it, lying, and making excuses. More than one thing. Not really reaching.

2. Calling Ward a liar because he mentioned something about having Froch tested when according to you, it was already mandated for Froch to be tested isn't necessarily a "LIE". Maybe he didn't understand his 50 page contract or however many pages are in fighter contracts. You are really reaching to the tenth power here.

So now we're going to blame a 50 page contract and he didn't understand? now who's the one that's reaching?

OK Ward didn't understand. But, my point with this was the Ward team, Goosen Tutor promotions came out and said that they had a contractual agreed upon for the whole Super and the finals with Froch. But, that was a LIE by Ward team. But, again lying from that team is nothing new.
