Lamont Peterson positive for Taking drugs? Khan fight off????

[armyash]

The thing is these top athletes have nutritionists etc and arepumping themselves full of supplements/vitamins and stuff that I'm sure it's easy that they could end up taking something illegal by lack of knowledge, I doubt Peterson is sticking needles in him like in Kickboxer 2 .

Whatever though responsibility lies with the fighter it's is body and his career.

Thing is would he have knowingly took something while pushing for the drug testing? It doesn't make sense. Fucking idiot if he has knowingly cheated.

He could have messed up a huge payday and tarnished his reputation in a short space of time here.

You doubt he did it? Based on what?

Is it cheating if everyone does it?

Peds have been apart of major sports since dbol back in the 60s. Hitler had the first roid created for his superior race. Once people stop being naive, and realize this shit is rampant then this type of shit won't be a surprise. I think every pro is on something. But that's just me. Roids still don't ruin any sport for me. I've seen many a drug user get beat or smoked. Roads don't make the athlete. Skills are skills.

Based on the fact that he was pushing for the tests. I'm not saying no chance in hell he's guilty you would have to be a fucking moron to push for the tests knowing you will get caught.

He may have pushed for the tests assuming he wouldn't get caught because he hasn't before, like so many others. That sounds more on point to me. Have they confirmed that it was some form of testosterone he was taking as well? There is a big gray area in all sports with that kind of thing, along with growth hormones etc.

[armyash]

I'll never stick up for a cheater. Mistakes happen in life but if he has intentionally cheated then fuck him. Lives can be lost in the ring.

You can't mistakenly take test. It's either a needle or a rub on. The rub is useless for athletes. Not enough testosterone. Soo all these excuses athletes give is total bullshit. They know wtf they are doing. Peterson thought he wouldn't get caught. End of story. Now he is getting stripped as he should.

My knowledge of PED's is zero. If people who know more say that it's impossible that Peterson got this substance in his body by mistake then so be it. Looks as though Peterson is getting his come uppance and rightly so.

Yup, a banned form of synthetic testosterone, the same one Peterson has already admitted taking before the 1st fight with Khan. He's a cheater, plain and simple, and a dumb one.

[Rantcatrat]

Just let the fighters fight. This sh*t will be out of his system by fight night if they'll make sure he's not gonna have another shot. This will give Khan the confidence. And let's just see if it affects Peterson, knowing the 'advantage' is gone ala Margarito when he got caught against Mosley. If Peterson wins, then let's forget this crap. Hate to see fights cancelled because of all this nonsense.

He's had anabolic-steroid-releasing implants ("pellets") since before the first fight. Sure they can take them out and he might not have abnormally high T-levels on fight-night, but he's had the advantage of them during training, which is a much bigger deal.

I'm very curious to see what the Peterson camp's explanation is. The two things that make no sense to me are:

1. If you have actual steroid implants, why would you agree to hardcore olympic-style testing (and not remove them and flush your system immediately)?

2. Why come out and admit that you had them already at the time of the first fight? (I mean, the honesty is good, I'm just wondering why they would volunteer this -- I don't think it's just because they're good people.)

Yes, it's all very weird. As to your second question, maybe they figured it would come out anyway, and released the information as damage control.

[Leighton]

It is a shame. He won alot of fans that night with his performance. If he cheated then what can you do. Its like allowing a runner who took some kind of drug to keep his gold medal.
I would still like to see the fight but would it be right. Im not sure.

yeah, but you don't find synthetic testosterone outside of some of top medical labs, you can,t find that in vitamines or supplements. This one will be very difficult to excuse.

I did feel the same as Armyash, I almost felt sorry for Peterson as I thought he had been eating all of these nutrition suplements ad then without knowing, took something he shouldn't have. A bit like Toure taking his wifes slimming pills in English football last year.

But if this is high grade stuff, then he is an idiot.

[JazzWolf]

That not good. Why would he need synthetic testosterone though? Boxing has been proven to naturally increase testosterone levels on its own. Dude must have a deficiency.

More is better

It says that the results came back in March! Why has it taken this long for anyone to know?

The drug testing people seemed on Lamonts side in the quotes "... He has not tested positive before or after that reading and he is commended for taking the tests and wanting to play fair"

I think the fight still happens and is covered in controversy again. If it was going to have been called off, they would have done it 2 months ago when they had the positive test result.
