Whether or not it was foul play by Peterson, the letter of the law does state that if he is using and has a Doctors order for it he needs to declare it before the other party and the state commission which he did not do (this of course is in regards to the original bout.)

If this was complacency or idiocy I don't know but as much I like Peterson he and his team messed this up and it is only fair that the champ gets his title back.
