Comments Thread For: Peterson Scandal: VADA's Goodman Responds to Schaefer

[IMDAZED]

not saying peterson didn't test positive but where and why did this vada come from? and what are they doing so different from the osta? who formed them? and is about competition, because we all know the best way to get your name out there is to cause controversy.

Yeah and one way to kill your reputation is with a false positive that kills a major fight. Let's be rational here.

Peterson testing positive = Kardashion releasing a sextape?

If GBP or schaefer werent a signatory on the VADA contract why is schaefer whinning for? And since Schaefer represent Khan and were advocating a better testing procedure with Mayweather VS Pac shouldnt they make sure they are in the front of this sort of things?

He probably wanted a chance to put a lid on it with hush money. GBP stands to lose potential revenue for this fight.

What if this guy is a Top Rank fighter? All Floydiots will be saying "I told you so, Pacquiao must be cheating too."

why is schaeffer bittching anyway? it was the fighters who commissioned VADA to do the testing so that's where the report should go. now if the fighters authorized VADA to inform their promoters of the results then yeah gbp can demand a copy of the report.

why is schaffer bittching anyway???? I guess is a minor thing like loosing millions because one of the fighters that they are paying tons of money was cought cheatting and now they have to settle for any lesser fighter....like I said minor things.

vada did the right thing. peterson, and his team should take full responsibility for this mess.
vacate belts + public apology.

Am sure they would sweep it under the carpet too if they knew earlier before VADA annouce it to everybody, Well am sure now they would pay a strict attention to the Ortiz-berto fight..



I think they only informed Team Khan once the sample 'B' was confirm to be positive too, Which was a couple of days ago, Am also curious why it took over a month and a half to confirm a 'B' sample..

as far as I know with Salido Vs Guerrero fight the tests and results were within a matter of days. They told Salido to stfup or be suspended for years even though saple "B" was negative.

What position? Those are facts and how it happened

And what error? You're just making stuff up in an attempt to justify a failed test

Don't be so accusatory for no reason, I' not starting a dispute. I'm merely saying that the second set of tests seems to have been a reaction by Peterson as soon as he got the bad news In his position if I were feeling "not guilty" I would immediately have the tests redone. And that's' what I think he did-and why. Nothing wrong about it. He couldn't have retested any sooner. nd if the drugs were out of his system by them....well....they were.

I don't condemn people out-of-hand. I wait to see how it evolves first. Seeing that it was Peterson who wanted the tests, it seems unlikely- that he would deliberately take illegal drugs. He could easily have been legitimately prescribed something, which just turned out to contain an illegal component. I don't mind waiting to see what happens.

Im not being accusatory, im just saying all the event that happened but you are seeming to dismiss them and replace em with your own theory

Not to put you down, but have you actually read the articles of whats been revealed?

Funny how the OST advocates don't mention they're surprised Ariza's special shakes came out clean, while Peterson's the epitome of their STFU.

Taking another test months after the positive test is futile and proves nothing. PEDerson made a positive test and must now face the consequenses. The only type of defense he can have now, as far as I see it, is if he can prove the test-procedure to be faulty.

Untill then he should get a temp ban untill the results are uncontested. Assuming the result stand, he will likely have to pay damages and face a lenghty ban. Cyclists usually gets 2 years for first time offenders. PEDerson will likely face a shorter sentence.
