Low to none testosterone levels. Pellets same as patches,gels and injections are designed for TRT. The pellets deliver around 2-5mg/day of testosterone. Take into consideration that we (males) produce about 5mg naturally and anymore above this figure would cause the HPTA to cease working therfoere the user has to rely on external sources for testosterone and would only be receiving 2-5mg/day from the pellets or patch or whatever, it doesnt make sense unless you were putting a full box under each armpit. Its more than likely that the word "synthetic" should be replaced by derivative. That would make sense.
Hi mate - how long would they take to clear his system? What I'm asking is, why the **** would a substance he was using to juice for a fight in December be showing up in a test in mid-March? Isn't it more likely that he going to be using them for the May 19th fight
Its only really weird if you don't accept that fighters/athletes are prepared to use chemicals to enhance their chances of victory. If you do accept this then its not weird at all, it just means that Peterson ****ed up and got caught....the same way as many other athletes do every year.
I like how Peterson is even acting dignified when he's getting caught with steroids; just being completely honest about everything.
Isnt it more likely to be he's using them all the time for all his fights and has just got caught this time!
Why would he request extra testing and then admit he was juicing for the first fight though? That doesn't add up.
I think it's clear if we're prepared to be cynical and honest with ourselves about the state of the sport. Top athletes in pretty much all sports dope, even the best regulated sports with the most stringent testing. They can do this because the drug manufacturers are always ahead of the testors. As well as being the most brutal of all sports, boxing is also the most corrupt, has possibly the worst tetsing protocol and has ridiculously high amounts of reward at stake if you mak it to the top. I think people are deluding themselves to think that boxing isn't rife with performance enhancing drugs. The whole 'random drug testing' is nothing more than a gimmick, as if you're a top boxer or any other athlete it doesn't matter when you're tested - you can afford the stuff that the testors can't detect. The only reason you'll fail a test is if you **** up the cycle. Peterson has ****ed up and revealed that he is a fighter who uses performance enhancing drugs. He has admitted to using them in the first fight and there is absolutely no logical argument to suggest he wouldn't have been using them this time.
Because he thought that Khan was juicing but believed that he could get away with it. Sport is rife with people screaming about testing and then getting caught out...look at Carl Lewis
Hes not admitting juicing,hes admititing TRT. Which he will say its been given to him by prescription from his doctor. Which he will use for having non endogenous hormones in his body. What hes admiting is "i forgot to tell VADA im on TRT"
Doesnt anyone find it odd that no hard statement has been made about the fight yet? Khan seems to think he's still fighting Lamont
That's like saying after chopping your girlfriend into pieces it's dignified for you tell the police you've buried the last three under your floorboards.
That depends on exactly what hes taken. Believe me boxers dont/shouldnt take testosterone to aid performance. More likely hes used other substances if its an AAS,the likely candidates are fluexymesterone or methyltrienolone both have high affinity to the androgen recepter and are perfect for adding strength without weight. Testosterone is as anabolic as it is androgenic and is therefore not suitable for boxers/mma fighters., Hes been juicing since last fight and has continued onto this fight and is going to use the TRT card for damage limitation.
