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

[Ray*]

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

Actually maybe this is true..

this breaks the myth about the IBF being the more legit sanctioning body. They let a steroid cheat keep a title and let a mental midget/quitter get a title shot right after losing it to Khan.

Ignoring VADA?

Alistair Overeem had 14-1 ratio, and still got his doctor to side with him and back his statement up to the Nevada commission. His doctor helped him!

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

The doctors have not done examinations during the same time so what these doctors have said is not false, and neither is what VADA did.

People don't understand, the tests were done at different times. Test Gaitlin, the Bronze medalist, and I am sure he will not show signs of drug abuse after his 4 year ban.

Peterson was tested only 2 months after his positive, but that is plenty of time to cycle or have lower levels that pass. Pete has low Testosterone, so it wouldn't be 3.77-1.

Anyway I read their statement last month. It stated he was not showing signs of abuse, which is fine, we all know he started in November.

Just a thought, is it OK for every boxer to use synthetic testosterone to get 3.77-1 ratio then? The normal amount of an 80 year old, to 55 year old, to just under is not relevant because at the end of the day, the 3.77-1 was what was in his system.

Should all boxers use Synthetic T, not inform anyone until after the second test where his team were watching sample B being checked and then have a doctor state that it doesn't help?

If Pac had tested positive like Pete, every mofo be crying. If Pac hired a Doc 2 months later and cleared, he still be called a cheat.

He is even being called a cheat now by his haters even without an ounce of evidence just because their hero and team said Manny is.

[ADP02]

So is Peterson still going to use his so called "medically the****utic testosterone" because the doctor said what he said?

Peterson should have indicated what he was doing ahead of time then all would be OK as they would have told him if he was OK in doing so. Now it looks su****ious even if he didn't mean to do it to get an advantage.

lmao at anyone who believes peterson isn't a drug cheat. 'Oh I just somehow forgot to mention I'm taking testosterone, I live in a cave, I'm totally unaware of all the raging debate about drug cheats, it just slipped my mind.'

[Cardinal Buck]

3.77 is not normal. It was just below a positive, the fact that it was an illegal substance, a synthetic was the issue. Peterson's normal levels were obviously low, so 3.77 is not normal for him.

I agree that Peterson should have informed the commission of what he was doing. What I don't agree on is that he was necessarily cheating by raising his testosterone levels.
