Here is an interview with Barry Hunter (Peterson Trainer) and his doctor. http://www.fighthype.com/news/article12386.html Thoughts....
Arum broke down the situation yesterday, and I said he made a good case for Peterson. This argument only strengthens Peterson's case. However, Peterson is still in the wrong for not reporting these treatments to anyone. As a pro athlete, there is no excuse for him not reporting treatments that inlcuded injectable testosterone to anyone.
He may very well be innocent.Without due process how will we ever know.Peterson has been ****ed by the system and by the time the true results come out his career will have been forever tarnished.I forsee a massive law suit in the future if what he says is factual.
Good points. I am biased as I live in DC and attended the first match up (and cant stand the thought of that beautiful night of boxing having an asterick) ... but this interview does seem to hold merit.
Peterson was mirco-dosing to beat the testing. That is why he never tested positive before. The "free level" seems to be a ruse. None of my reading on low testosterone mention this at all. It was the excuse they used to 'medically justify' all this. No good doctors in DC he had to go to some shady clinic in Vegas? Regardless, he had to declare this treatment to the commission. He didn't REMEMBER? Please..... This is the worst attempted cover up ever. He undergoes a medical procedure for low testosterone and forgets about that even when his test comes back positive. I won't say it strains credibility. It kicked the friggin door down and burned it as firewood.
No grounds. You MUST declare all medications to the commission before each fight. He failed to do so. I think it is pretty clear this was an intentional act. Well, maybe I can blame my failing memory on massive amounts of testosterone. His story has all the smell of an attempted PR cover up.
Sorry, Barry, but I ain't buying any of that. There's really no excuse for you not to disclose that information the the commissoners.
according to dan rafael, he never reported it to the commission that he was taking them, a violation in itself
More bull**** from peterson team... And the dr. Is part of their team.... How the **** you forget about the pellets when you fail the test and lok through shampoo, cleanng products etc....THATS BS! He cheated and got away with it, got over confident in his method and then got caught.
That doctor needs to have his licence revoked. He doesn't know the first thing about the therapy he's been administering or testosterone in general. Any medical advisor is going to have a good laugh at some of the things he's said in that interview. Also his other patients should sue him, because the natural "bio identical" testosterone pellets he claims to be working with are actually synthetically derived and not identical at all. Not that it makes a difference which one you get from a performance point of view.
