No way is testosterone a licenced treatment for erectile dysfunction in America for anyone other than someone with hypogonadism, in which case Peterson would have been taking testosterone for some time and it would have been declared as a pre-existing condition. Even if it was licenced, there's dozens of better drugs out there to treat ED, why go for the one that's known to be abused by athletes? If that's the best argument he can come up with, he's ****ed in my opinion.
I guess because for that fight the most testing he was required to do was one post fight **** test. They may not have even bothered making him do that.
This **** is gone to big for Nevada Commission to let bypass, they WILL not give Peterson the licence and will look to seek a ban for Peterson my guess.
This is the way I see it. This fight is NOT happening. There is no way Peterson will be able to come up with a suitable defense against this, so much so that the commission will let him fight. It would set an uncomfortable precedent for other fighters in the same position. They have to take a zero tolerance approach against this. Perhaps I'm wrong and Peterson pulls and ace from up his sleeve to convince people everything is above board. I doubt it though. He's gone from the tough upbriging hard grafter to a cheat overnight. If they do fight and he beats Khan, people just wouldn't accept it.
Wouldn't suprise me. Strip Peterson or his belts and ban him for a sustained period maybe. Perhaps they'll even give the belts back to Khan or declare them vacant and let Khan and someone else contest it at a later date.
Have we got a link for Peterson admitting he took something before the 1st fight? Sorry if it's already been posted.
Yes seems likely if they do ban him for this as he has stated he took these before the first fight, I think the Washington State commission has to deal with that part.
