As we all know by know Lamont Peterson tested positive for synthetic testosterone, an anabolic steroid. Ironically Peterson was the one that demanded the testing, maybe insinuating Khan could have been using.
VADA carried out the tests which included Carbon Isotope Ratio testing which is what caught Peterson out.
WADA, USADA, NSAC don't use that testing method and only use the T/E ratio which has and upper limit of 4:1 or 6:1 in some cases.
Peterson T/E ration was 3.71:1 bellow the level of the other testing agencies and Peterson would have passed their tests.
It was also a urine sample that caught Peterson out, who claimed he used the pellets back before the first fight. Drugs stay in the urine much longer than blood and can be detected long after the last use of the drug taken.
So if Mayweather and Khan do get it on one day, which testing method should they use, VADA or USADA?
And should Khan insist on using VADA since USADA don't use CIR testing and will allow the use of synthetic testosterone as long as the boxer keeps his T/E bellow 4:1.
And should Floyd accept Khan's VADA testing and abandon his USADA testing program.
I'm not sure exactly on Floyd's testing but is it right he only tests 30 days before the day of the fight, is this standard of testing really acceptable considering all gaping holes it leaves to use PEDs
