    It's not as simple as most of you guys want it to be. Banned substances are used in everyday life by people who need them. In these situations, PEDs are given in small doses and wouldn't help anyone from an athletic standpoint. They help athletes if they take too much of them and that's also when they can become dangerous.

    Banned substances used the way Peterson apparently used them are legal. They were given in small doses and wouldn't improve his performance according to an independent doctor. Why punish him if he had a valid reason for doing them and if they didn't help him? That would be dumb.

    It would kind of be like throwing someone in prison for taking a sip of alcohol right before driving. That would never stand up in court and the guy would be free to go since he was clearly under the legal limit. Technically, drinking and driving is not illegal under these circumstances, but drinking and driving while over the legal limit is.

    That is fine but has nothing to do with a sports banned substance list.
    These include all anabolics and steroids of all kinds, as well as street drugs stimulants bought over the counter etc etc etc

    I have never heard of any sports list allowing any such thing, a doctors note or even mothers note has nothing to do with it - nor does the law.

    Why cant you understand that. IBF got an opinion and ran with it.
    Good for them , but don't try and make out that this is acceptable in any sports competitions or covered by any kind of valid agency- anywhere.

    There is no such thing as "performance enhancing list"

    Only "Banned Substance"- this includes many many things that dont enhance performance.

    IBF dont give one single **** on this day however. Forget WADA we got a docs note rofl

    It is acceptable in sports and by any valid agency. You completely ignored everything that I just said. You can take these substances legally as long as you have a legitimate reason and you are under the legal dosage. The amount that was in his system wouldn't have helped Peterson as a boxer and he proved that he had a valid reason according to the independent doctor.

    What are they supposed to do? Are they supposed punish him for doing something legal? They can't stop him from making a living under these circumstances, because that could be viewed as discrimination and they would open themselves up to potentially being sued.

    I understand it just fine.

    Had Peterson informed the commision of his condition and perscription this wouldn't have been in issue.

    His dosage was too low to enhance his performance...his claim of having low T levels turned out to be true..he was UNDER PERSCRIPTION for his condition:deal

    The IBF disagrees with you. And since they're the only one's with any actual power in this instance, I think their opinion matters more than yours does.

    It doesnt matter.

    A SPORTS LIST is not about prescriptions or the law.

    Mike Tyson got a fight turned to a non decision because he had marajuana in him. Vitali had a steroid in him for an injury wasnt even an anabolic (not perf enhancer) and he was banned from the olympics.

    ALL ANABOLIC STEROIDS can be prescribed. None are allowed in sports. It's that simple.

    WADA tested him and hes guilty - IBF however are not an agencey , they are a private company, they can do what they want- and they have. All peterson has to do is make sure he doesnt do tests with any real agencies and he will be fine then.

    Peterson had to take tostesterone just to get his levels up to NORMAL.

    It would have been OK had he disclosed this...somebody in his camp dropped the ball....the case was revewed and overturned...

    Peterson was not trying to cheat.....deal with it..

    It would NEVER be okay by the people who tested him - WADA

    You need to understand that.

    What the IBF or commission do after that is up to them.

    You're wrong again. VADA tested Peterson.
