I'm genuinely asking.
I've read some articles following Peterson's failed drug test, but I am not entirely up to speed on the subject. If a fighter passes a state commission's drug tests, and a third party later exposes evidence that the fighter was taking banned substances, is it within the rules/usual for a commission to overturn the decision?
If so, why was Shane Mosley's win over Oscar De La Hoya in their rematch never declared a No Contest? (Simply because of the time lapse?)
Are there any other examples?
He had testosterone pellets injected into his hip and yet he forgot about them until after failing the test. He still forgot about them until the second test also confirmed it... and then he remembered. Of course he's innocent.
No, they are not at risk of being taken away.
On one hand, as you mentioned, there is a precedent with Mosley and not stripping the title. On the other you have the fact that he passed all drug tests related to the Khan fight. I don't think there is anything in the rules about a boxer admitting after the fact and unless there is all you have to go off of were the testing procedures that were in the contracts.
Yes but the boxer also sigh contracts dictating that they will not take any banned substances, even if the commission tests dont test for it
And Peterson has medical records depicting his use of those banned substances

This is your first mistake. Why exactly dont you think he tried to cheat? He took Steroids, which were basically undetectable to regular commission tests yet never reported it. He then got caught, and asked where he could have taken this steroid and said he didnt know. After a 2nd test to conform the 1st test, he "remembered" taking steroids even before the first fight.
WHy did he hide it until being caught?
THen his doctor comes out and says he regulated his Teste ratio to 3.77 : 1 when the average levels are 1:1 and acceptable levels are 4:1
Every single thing leads to believe that he absolutely tried to cheat.
And him saying he didnt think it helped him in any way....then why do it in the first place?
I havent really followed this case but what steroid did Peterson take?
Oh yeah; the failed test was because the testosterone treatment he received, shortly before he fought Khan, was still in his system for the first OSDT they took while preparing for the rematch. He tested negative on all the rest of his tests during camp up until the cancellation.
I feel bad for Lamont in that I really don't think he intended to cheat (he was the one who asked for OSDT in the rematch), but was just really stupid/careless. However; I absolutely agree that the W should be overturned AND that there should be a rematch.
...although part of me kind of hopes Peterson keeps the belts, because I don't think Khan will rematch him if he can get the belts back without fighting him.

I don't know what to believe, but he's got the skills and talent to put himself back in the same position after his suspension is served, which I believe will happen.
Think he admitted to having undergone the same treatment going into the first fight with Khan, he was even quoted as saying the testosterone pellets didn't help him in winning. Like you I haven't been following this story as much, think I've already heard everything I need to know. Hopefully the decision is overturned, but I'm doubtful because as you said, why wasn't Oscar's against Mosley in the rematch.

Is Lamont Peterson's W over Khan at risk of being overturned? If so, why? | BoxingScene Community
