Comments Thread For: Lamont Peterson Still IBF Champ, Must Face Zab Judah

[BattlingNelson]

I see a lot of people are not reading this article properly......



Now if everyone involved is corrupt then that's speculation until it is proven otherwise but as of right now Peterson did not try to cheat.

He took artificial illegal testosterone pellets. He didn't have a medical exemption so he is a cheat. I'd say that every doctor giving a patient who's a professional athlete, a substance that is illegal, will surely tell this athlete that he needs a medical clearance. And even if the doctor wouldn't know, which is very, VERY unlikely, then surely PEDerson and his handlers would know, since they where the ones wanting the OST in first place.

True indeed but VADA ain't going against this decision by saying it is a false statement.

VADA said he too illegal testosterone.

It should end right there.

This has just set a very dangerous precedent on boxing cong**** IBF the most crooked of the organisations.

If his level was 3.77 in March then imagine how high it would have been in December.

**** Peterson and the IBF.... I hope he takes a physical beating every fight he has from now

I think that can still happen, he still has to go before Nevada at some point and explain himself. They may not be as understanding as the IBF.

NSAC probably won't allow him to fight, it'll be interesting to see which state is corrupt enough to host the fight. I'm thinking DC won't turn down the local hero.

IBF "we don't mind proven drugs cheats winning our belt while on PEDs, we will even let them keep our belt until they serve there suspension"

Berto vs Peterson is in the pipe line.

Exactly and they also did it with Roy when he got popped.

Why are you so slow? Read the article, it doesn't matter. Technically he didn't "fail" a drug test, he tested positive for excess testosterone.

No he tested positive for synthetic testosterone which is a banned substance. The only way you can fight with that substance in your system is if you inform the commission and get an exemption. Peterson didn't.

[dougage78]

So he has to take testosterone for the rest of his life???

[Mr. Fantastic]

I wish Margarito was an AA boxer. He wouldn't of probably gotten suspended.

Just read through this entire thread. There's something wrong with boxing when half the people here are defending Peterson.

Peterson should be banned for at least a year or so, but instead he gets to keep a belt he won while taking a banned substance?
