As I understood it, he meant that Peterson voluntarily took the tougher tests, as in he didn't have to. It's at least possible imo, that he felt all of his bloodwork would come back normal. I know you just equate this to his feeling he could cheat the tests, but I think that might in fact be naive if the substance in itself isn't detectable.

), that's the bit that was voluntary then I assume. It turns out he actually failed on a urine test though, which makes sense if the synthetic stuff can be traced seperately as Shza said. That also makes my point about the blood and actual levels of the hormone completely moot, but it explains why Peterson may not have had a problem with more stringent testing in his mind.
Either way I still say they have to put the onus on commissions to be consistent and thorough with testing fighters rather than punish anyone after the fact. It sounds as though this stuff would be dead easy to test for, it's not like a BALCO case where he was using something more advanced. As long as he was cleared to fight the first time around there is not only no evidence to overturn the decision, but neither is there any to be certain that Khan himself was clean.
