It was a URINE SAMPLE that tested positive, NOT a blood sample. .

Definitely!

I actually thought Peterson was the one who called for the tests. But we just gotta wait until we hear a bit more about this.

 

Yeah, it was Peterson who insisted on them. Not to mention, his trainer, Barry Hunter, works closely with the US Olympic team and would also be an advocate for fighters being clean at all costs.

It just doesn't add up.

 

It really doesn't, hopefully everything will clear up by the next few days.

 

Everyone needs to stop creaming their pants and just wait for an official statement which proves inconclusively that Peterson is Guilty. Samples can get contaminated/he could have a high level of testosterone in his body due to other reasons etc.

on the other hand if he has breasts, a spotty back and a shriveled ***** due to juicing then send him to the gallows!!! LOL

 

It's not likely, but we'll see.

 

I cant see it being true, i hope not anyway. Peterson is a good guy, i really hope there is an explanation.

 

While all this is true, and I agree it seems unlikely, we don't actually know Hunter or Peterson. They just seem like nice guys.

One thing that just came to mind is if he was injected or supplied to deal with any kind of injury or something, but we either would have heard about that, or they would have surely notified the commission.

 

That's because the comissions don't really tell what they test (this is also true for WADA accredited anti doping agencies but there are standard tests and methods in use that allows for good guesses). But from the wording we can be pretty sure that this was a standard screen for steroid abuse that any comission worth its salt would do. The only difference here is the timing (training vs fight night), which should be the take home message for anyone interested in improving test procedures in pro boxing.

Perhaps one more thing fro whom ever it may be of interest to - steroid abuse is always screened for in urine. Those who demanded blood testing for Pac most likely suspected him of abusing growth hormones.

 

True. I'm just finding it difficult to accept, I think. Really gutted about this. I'm just coming up with any excuses for them. Including the one you've just given, which I'll take :good

 

Devastated at this. Still don't believe Peterson would cheat to win and I hope it was just a mistake or accident or something

 

I read lots of posts about them asking for the tests themselves, and so it must be an accident.
Isn't it more likely that he was "sure" to beat the test, and figured the testing gave them a nice alibi?!

Loads of athletes have used all kind of peds and were never caught, while they later admitted to have used troughout their careers (Marion Jones/Tyler Hamilton ring a bell), but knew how to beat the system. And with much better testing I might add.

 

so people can believe that Pac is cheating but as soon as Peterson shows up as guilty, its "oh I can't believe this" I'm waiting for an official statement, please admit that your a Pac hater and just can't stomach the truth.
