Peterson physician Dr Thompson and Barry Hunter set the record straight

8CN spoke with Lamont Peterson’s physician Dr Thompson, and with coach Barry Hunter and got a complete breakdown and explanation of the medical condition that was discovered concerning Peterson’s testosterone level. Dr Thompson explains in detail that he discovered a shockingly low testosterone level in Peterson’s blood work, a level that an 80 yr old male should have.

Coach Hunter reminds everyone that it was them who pushed for the testing and it would be crazy for them to do so if they were in fact cheating. The doctor explains that the type of pellets prescribed to Peterson do not enhance performance anyway, because of it’s slow release. Both Dr Thompson and Coach Hunter go in depth on this situation, and explain in detail that this is not a matter of cheating, it’s a matter of Lamont’s health.
