Lamont needed the testosterone because he had a"substantial testosterone insuffiency

"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? "

-- NSAC executive director Keith Kizer
on Peterson taking testosterone pellets

To be fair. Keith Kizer is an absolute dip**** and asks every question like this, even if it doesn't make sense.

I don't know about that but in this instance it makes 100% sense . When his first test for elevated testosterone came back positive , why didn't he remember that he had previously taken pellets for such a "condition" and told VADA instead of "remembering" all of a sudden after his seond failure .

Now all of a sudden we hear he had told VADA about the pellets from the beginning? Yeah right

This time it does, no?

A bunch of MMA guys have actually gotten away with this. I see the fight going on.

what's the point of testing, if they can find a way around it.
if peterson was using testosterone pellets for any kind of reason, they should have made it known to the testers well BEFORE any testing took place.
looks like we're up for another margarito-drama.

I don't think he personally contacts VADA, likely his manager who is supposed to attned to this sort of thing.

It's a complete joke that professional athletes and their conditioning and nutritional experts are taking advantage of.

The normal test ranges for example go from
200 - 1000 when measuring total testosterone. Most people will be in the 500-650 range and quite a few will be below that. The Nevada drug test let's people have something like 6 x the amount of a normal person so all these fighters think they should be walking around with their testosterone around 3000.

It seems everybody is going to have low testosterone. Complete joke

If they're at 999, they have low Testosterone

From "I don't remember taking testosterone" to "I took it because I had testosterone insufficiency".
