    This. I had a look online. There seems to be a large number of clinics like these who offer testosterone implants in America on a "come and get it" basis.

    What's strange is that in Peterson's lawyer's letter they mentioned a John Hopkins hospital and the Chief of Endocrinology. Who is this D.O. guy that wrote the letter and what position does he hold...he's an osteopath and not a real doctor (MD).

    Why didn't the submit the evidence from the John Hopkins hospital instead of this poorly written letter from a dodgy clinical?

    Because they knew it was in theyr system, and thereby used a masking agent, or maybe Lamont even strapped a whizzinator on with somebody else's urine for all I know. . . You don't think there's a way to beat drug testing?

    Sure, he could have came forward with the letter, but that would only raised questions, and possibly could have still even been ruled as illegal - maybe he'd have to undergo additional testing from a "real" doctor, and he'd say "wtf, this guy doesn't have low test."

    It was just easier for them to cheat the tests.

    From Wiki, a D.O. in the US is just as real as a M.D.

    Lol, doesn't mean he still isn't a quack, which he more than likely is.

    My understanding from American friends is that while they are considered doctors, it's a lot easier to get into osteopath schools as the standards are a lot lower.

    You'd expect a boxer like Peterson to be getting the best medical treatment, from accredited hospitals. Not dodgy clinics in Las Vegas.

    Never said it didn't. Just responding to the guy who said an O.D. wasn't a real doctor. They are definitely real doctors.

    :huh

    I still don't think you get my point, if Peterson wanted to look clean, he would've told the doctor to say he had low testerone level in 2012 & not 2011, pretty much asking for his bout in 2011 to be called a NC, he's clearly being honest.

    Your friend would be wrong

    Both go to med schools, and O.Ds apparently need more hours of study.

    -----Edit-----
    Fewer schools as well

    ---------
    I'd expect athletes to go to the best, and sometimes the best.

    That being said, it is clear Lamont is full of ****, so if he had a M.D. it wouldn't matter as well.

    Here's the clinics website. Looks very shady. Seems to be orientated more around alternative therapy than conventional medicine. Half of those therapies I've never heard of..what the hell is Neurofeedback training?

    The website doesn't seem professional and is incomplete. The section under "About Our Practice" has nothing under it. :lol::lol:

    You think the Nevada Commissions doctor had a good laugh? They stated this paperwork would be reviewed by him/her. Probably a big part of why the license was denied.

    The guy who wrote the letter is the only contact name listed on the website. Is he the only doctor working for the clinic? Nowhere does it mention his accreditation in endocrinology nor anything about the clinic.

    There is a subheading called "bio-identical hormones", but it's under construction and there's no information underneath it.

    I think providing this information has hurt Peterson's case more than helped it.

    Dude who wrote the letter only did so to keep the feds off his back so it wouldn't blatantly look like he is a doctor who sells scripts.

    what benefit does the added hormones do for someone with low T? if they were raised from low level to therapeutic or normal level, how does that benefit him? is this the same kinda benefit as steroids for example? i am ignorant on the subject.
