    Peterson is still an idiot...

    First off I'm not a doctor so im not going to comment on whether he was cheating or not.

    What i cant understand is how a professional fighter and former amateur star in Peterson (and team) didnt think to declare that he was going to be receiving testosterone boosters? I can kind of understand when you accidently take some random banned substance from the bottom of the banned substance list that no one has ever heard of, but this is TESTOSTERONE! I mean how dumb do you have to be to not think that you should maybe let someone know?

    He should have been open about it. I am still unclear about how much an advantage if any Peterson got from the synthetic testosterone.

      Even if he got no advantage though, how do you not declare something like that? especially as it was in the lead up to a fight as his team said...

      I feel like they have made themselves look way more su****ious than they should have.

        He's not dumb he's been training at an elite level for a number of years, IMO he knew exactly what he was doing and should have been dealt with.

          He did a ****** thing not telling everyone invoved about the medical condition. I don't think that makes him an idiot. Almost everyone does something ****** now and then. His medical problem is not unusual and has to be treated. I am sure he wishes his body produced the normal amount of testosterone. He is not a cheat and has no unfair advantage.

            I know it's pretty ridiculous. Berto's case was much different though, and I felt that was a genuine mistake where he consumed a contaminated product.

              How can you not realise that putting testosterone into your system might be something that the drugs testers might want to know about?

              Im reserving judgement on whether he intentionally cheated or not because like i said im not a doctor. However i knew people from school who played football (soccer) at acadamy level who checked everything they took for banned substances, and so cant understand this happening to a world champion boxer. Hence, hes an idiot.

                every one said that he was feather fisted so its obvious where the power came from...4-1 ratio maybe 3x higher that every1 else he fought and even if he was two naturally it is still doubling his active test levels which mean strength and power gains and more stamina...it is cheating..

                  I am not a mind reader. Maybe he knew it was illegal. I said it was a ****** thing to do. We are not debating whether what he did was ******. We agree on that. I just don't think doing a ****** thing makes a person an idiot. Have you lived your whole life without doing one ****** thing? I have heard the man speak many times and I don't think he is an idiot. If you want to think he is an idiot then that's your opinion.

                    I don't understand why his level has to be so high. If the 4-1 ratio gives him an advantage in the ring I think they should order him to get it down to about a 1-1 ratio. I don't have any knowledge of testosterone helping or not helping punching power. He looked like the same guy I saw fight before. As for his great power, he did not knock Khan on his ass. Something that is not hard to do.
