Very interesting... the new (or perhaps, newly unveiled) method of doping. Who knows how long that's been going on?

its not that effective tho. it gives next to no benefit. for comparison allistar overeems t:e ration was 14:1. lamonts was well under the 4:1 mark from what ive heard. imo its more likely he was cycling off and didnt expect to get caught.

Sounds like he was cycling off to me too.

Very possible that he was cycling off, it all depends on dosage too though.

A guy the size of Overeem with the build he has, he was probably using straight Test E at a high dosage. The form of test Peterson was using hasn't been mentioned yet I don't think, but the dosage doesn't need to be too high to boost athletic peformance.

The fight is off!!

The fight has been cancelled as of today, Amir Khan has tweeted. He will fight on June 30th. Correct decision IMO.

He said he trained from a week after the Khan fight. Which was in December.

He was caught from a random test in March. How long does it stay in your body?

Is 3 months likely?

Well he could have taken it more than once.

Depends entirely on when he started and what test he was using.

Test E is usually run for around 12 weeks, it takes 10 or so days to kick in. Test prop and Test sus don't need to be as long, kick in after 1-2 days and can be gone much quicker.

He was probably using during camp, but before he expected tests to come in. Either that or he just got his cycle duration wrong.

Conte sounds like it would beneficial anyway to just continue pellets, cream, gel or whatever and just stay under 4:1 at all times.

I'm not sure if there is an assumption out there that is no effectiveness to being at or slightly below 4:1 because it's allowable within the rules. Normal men are supposed to be at a ratio of 1:1; so, any differences created artificially through PED's to bring you above 1:1 (or a slightly higher because you are a young professional athlete) would be seen as cheating.
