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

[armyash]

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.

[uwey]

Did he come out with an explaination yet? I cant be believable. Khan is still the Champ in my eyes now. Whats his explaination? did he say yet? Khan must be labeled Champ

His explanation (provided by his doctor) is that he was sluggish and unfocused and so underwent an endochronological panel and was determined to have abnormally low testosterone (a deficiency, essentially). And that the testosterone that was then administered just brought him up to normal levels and did not give an advantage.

Because the Nevada Commission can't hold a hearing to determine whether they'll even license him until the 15th, Golden Boy has just announced that the fight (and the whole card) is canceled.

[rosco1984]

The fight is defo off!which is pretty shit!didn't think Peterson wos up for that makes u wonder wot the rest ov them are up to.

[erics44]

surely someone could have stepped in

i reckon prescott would have took it which most fans would have been happy with

[Ant Live]

People say Amir should fight him anyway. As much as I was looking forward to this fight, Lamont should not be able to make another cent. And his purse should be stripped as well.
Now both the brothers are tarnish. It's going to be hard coming back from this. He was one win away from a major major payday. Maybe even with Floyd.

If he's allowed to fight again, he should be force to fight Aurther Abraham at super middle with 8oz gloves!

Here my list of good fights for Khan

I'll say again, if Peterson has the backing of his doctors and blood tests to prove he had low testosterone, this is a cut and dry case where he will be found "NOT GUILTY".

It won't be considered his fault if the pellets released more testosterone than needed into his system or if his doctors put extra in. Some of your calls for Peterson not making another cent in this sport stems from naivity. I just looked at these pellets because it's the first I've heard of them and if you're taking pellets for performance enhancing you'd have to be a complete retard.

They are designed for HRT (hormone replacement therapy) and release testosterone over a very long period of time for people with LOW TESTOSTERONE. If you wanted performance enhancing you'd inject so that your blood levels can be up to silly amounts in a short period of time.

Peterson will be found not guilty if the doctors have all their documents in place. Relax yourselves
