Comments Thread For: Conte: Peterson Case Could Be Smart Method of Doping

[gmc_rfc_06]

I don't even agree with the TRT for fighters who claim low test and have doctors standing by them. Simply because I don't trust the fighters enough not to abuse the TRT and taper it down when required.

You could pass the tests and keep the boosts you got from the testosterone and nobody would know.

All Peterson had to do was disclose.


You men to tell me that you went to the doctor a few months ago, and he surgically implants something in your hip....and you forget?

GTFOH

the guy only remembered when the 'b' sample came back positive as well. This was the story they came up with in those 3 weeks LOL

Victor Conte — whose post-BALCO-scandal career has seen him once again working with pro athletes, including boxers — has commented on Twitter about Lamont Peterson’s testing positive for synthetic testosterone.

pump is not a ******* lol

I'm not buying that Tim Bradley vegan ish either.

If you never tried being vegan, you don't know. And I know you never tried it, because you don't know.

But FYI, Bradley goes vegan for training. Otherwise, he loves his animal products that make him super thick off training while highly active.

Can ANYONE go to the doctor - in the US - and get these testosterone boosting pellets?

My, erm, friend, would love some.

[Ryn0]

I'm not sure how to feel about this. Play devil's advocate, let's say he did go to the doctor and was diagnosed with low-T, which could be debilitating for a normal person, much less an athlete. Should he have to complete with low levels? Or would being prescribed something to bring him up to what is considered "normal" range, would that be okay? I understand the issue of cheating, but from the perspective of having to train and suffer poor recovery due to low-t, in a sense is that unfair as well. Not saying I side with Lamont, but don't be so quick to throw him under a bus either.

Your meant to disclose everything your taking right? Thats the assumption I get, if you have to disclose fuxking basic vitamins and supplements your going to disclose bloody testosterone pellets... don't be ******.

I don't have a doubt in my mind Peterson was trying to cheat

[edgarg]

oh i agree its cheating definitely. but from what i know and if u know what testosterone is, the more u have in your body, the more effective it is at increasing your physical prowess/muscle building etc. the truth is, this is a very old way of doping, not one used anymore one of the primary reasons being that in order for u to have any good effects from it, u have to get a lot of testosterone in your body, which is easily detectable without a masking agent. so, to me, its like why would he risk cheating for such a miniscule amount that would not make much of a difference in anything any way. its sounds more like he was using at around the time of the previous khan fight and he was hoping itd be out of his system.

if he thought he might still have it in his system, would he not have got a testosterone test (much cheaper than an overall test) BEFORE he signed the contract, which kicked in random testing. Surely he has conditioning experts and people who know what to beware of??

[GodInFleshSuit]

Peterson definitely lost a fan here. Makes me wonder how many other boxers are on something. I'm still skeptical though because Peterson is the one who requested the Olympic style drug testing. Someone who cheats would never do that. It could be have been a legitimate mistake but I highly doubt. Another black eye for boxing.

My guess is that his advisors thought PEDerson was safe given the fact that he wouldn't have been caught by either USADA or WADA. So they where likely unaware of a test able to detect the level of artificial testosterone in PEDersons body.

[SelectOne]

Lamont can not use this as and excuse any any sort of way if he was indeed low in testosterone why did he only get the pellets just before the khan fight and not any time before that hes a cheat and hes been caught for it he maybe asked for the test as a sort of double bluff or he thought it would not turn up in the tests.

Lets be honest here you inject any and i mean any person off the street with 2mg of testosterone a day and after only a few days you start seeing big increases in your strength and stamina allowing you to train at a much harder and faster intensity then your natural body will ever be capable of achieving.

Get him out of the sport of boxing and never let him compete again.
