Comments Thread For: Andre Berto Denies Any Steroid Use, Wants Answers

[La_Vibora]

Honestly I believe Berto, no way would he try to take that drug and try to get away with it, if anything I believe he may have unknowingly took something during the rehab for his injury that either contained this stuff or would yield a "false positive" result for this stuff. To put it in perspective this would be like knowing you have a drug test coming up for a job that you got hired for, and still smoking weed the night before you go to do it. I personally don't think he would be that dumb to do that especially when he would have an excellent consultant in Conte to guide him if he really were trying to do that. There is 0% chance that he would demand OSDT and then knowingly take nanodrone.

Well if anyone goes as far back as James Toney having his bicep injury JUST prior to being caught with Steroids.. NPR covered the story about 6 years ago and had an expert explain the nature of steroid injuries. That was the FIRST thing I thought when he postponed the fight in Feb. I, for one, am not convinced he is not using from this one fact.

Whats the deal with all these brothers using roids ? I find it funny how Peterson went to Vegas to get Roids, yet he spars with Floyd in Vegas. Hey Pete my body guards no some Quacks who will give you some good shyit you won't test Postive just accuse your opponent of using Roids. Oh by the way don't use WADA that one Pacquiao wanted to use on me.

WADA doesn't do testing. Arum ignorantly mentioned using WADA instead of USADA, not knowing that WADA doesn't do the testing. They just setup the rules basically. VADA and USADA go by the rules of WADA, etc. And up til now, Pacquiao, nor any Top Rank fighters, have undergone either VADA or USADA testing. Wondering why are you?

Hey Berto, maybe you ask Victor Conte.

[theproof]

they did say precursor.

No.

If Peterson and his doctor are telling the truth, he didn't gain anything from those pellets. But since he didn't notify anyone and tried to get it declared and approved before he started using it, he got caught.

Actually he gained something because he used a foreign substance to boost his testosterone levels. Yes his levels were naturally low but you have to work with what nature gave you and not use anything synthetic UNLESS you ask for permission beforehand.

To put it in perspective this would be like knowing you have a drug test coming up for a job that you got hired for, and still smoking weed the night before you go to do it.

If a doctor told you he could give you something to mask the marijuana in your system and you'd never caught would you do it?

That story lost its credibility when Toney tested positive again years later.

First of all Floyd and Peterson are not friends, Floyd doesnt Drink or smoke yet you think the man who spearheaded the testing is on roids despite, requesting the test. Please, Floyd is old school and has trained the same since day one, anyone who knows Boxing knows that Berto is on something the munute he signed with COnte, same with Zab, Nonito, Conte supplied, marion Jones and Shane Mosley, dont associate Floyd with that. its weak and should be beneath you. every fighter FLoyd has made take test did not lok the same as they did in previous fight, except for Cotto because I know Flod and Cotto are old school and clean, its these younger fighters taking that stuff, Floyd dont need that crap it woud hurt his skills, plus FLoyd is koing anyone, he only has a 60 percent ko ratio, if hes taking anything he needs to get his money back

mmm, I am actually for improved tests as it seems ridiculously easy to 'juice' and not get caught using the standard tests. But it has some bad sides too... as soon as someone has a positive tests, there comes a mob, who wants to put the guy's head on a sp1ke... and his reputation is damaged for ever. I mean, even these tests are not without error... Furthermore, why take nandrolone and then agree to one of the most thorough testing procdures there is ?? Only 3 answers seem reasonable to me 1) ******ity 2) they really did not know 3) they assume that enough people will believe their contamination story or whatever excuse they will come up. It is a bit strange to me, but for all I care to hell with Berto... Let's see how many more get caught...
