I gotta say the more I hear Lamonts side the more I feel he did not intend to cheat and was badly misguided.

What you feel is very different to what proof is on the table . So far all Lamont has given you to believe him is that he is perceived to be a nice guy , is almost crying and his trainer has said they were ignorant on the issue . In reality , that amounts to jack squat as everything else is against him .

Its called damage control

If his testosterone levels went above the 1:4 ratio I'd be more inclined to believe his ''I didn't know medical reasons story'' however the fact that it was so close to the levels coupled with him not disclosing the medications he was on and his initial ignorance means that I am unwilling to believe him.

He can cry all he wants, I will still view him as a cheat.

True . Peterson might not even be crying because he thinks he's innocent.

Its not difficult to summon up tears for sympathy when your career , reputation and future paydays look like they are going down the gutter .

LOL @ you gullible ****s feeling compassion for him. Hope they ban for some good time. If the extra testing wasn't done the world would have never known Peterson was taking these enhancements in his fights with Khan. Who knows if he would have continued using them in all his fights afterwards. It is now that he is caught he confesses to what he has been doing. Let him rot.

Just part of what will be his 'plausible deniability' defense and PR campaign.

I agree that what he did was wrong and should be punished as their should be zero tolerance when it comes to PEDs and boxing, but what I am trying to say is you have got to feel for the guy after hearing his side of the story, and putting that together with the fact that he demanded the tests and acknowledge that he was not trying to cheat.

Exactly people need to have some sense. Let's put things in terms that we could all relate to, married, have a beautiful wife and great kids ( all around great family), along with a great job however you decide to screw around with your bosses wife. Your wife finds out and suddenly the beautiful family and great job is crumbling around you, you'd probably start crying as you try to explain to your wife how it was just one big mistake. Doesn't make you innocent.

Excuse us for being ignorant? Are you fucking kidding me? VADA states on the contract that you have to disclose EVERYTHING an athlete is putting into his body. You even have to disclose any medical procedures. If you don't know if it's illegal, you call VADA up.

LIEmont, it's not because you have testosterone in your body for medical reasons, it's because you didn't fucking disclose SHIT.

If I was Lamont I would probably perform Seppuku.
