The Ring: Peterson drug test retraction

by ****** Mar 28th, 2013 Relying on a claim made by a source that refused to be named, THE RING website ******.com erroneously reported earlier today that Lamont Peterson tested positive for the banned substance human chorionic gonadotropin. THE RING has since learned that Lamont Peterson’s drug test related to his victory over Kendall Holt on Feb. 22 in Washington D.C. was negative in all respects. THE RING wishes to apologize to Peterson and those close to him for the error.

Wow. That's a big mistake by The Ring. Especially with Peterson's past history. No matter how many apologies they write up they damaged him badly. Don't really see how it damaged him badly. The story was taken down within two hours or so. Pretty much only the hardcores who follow boxing news 24/7 know about this and those same people probably already know that it wasn't him by now. It's not like he lost sponsors or other other money sources because of this.

I saw a few people on twitter saying they heard word that it was Holt that failed not Peterson. Not sure how credible these are it was no one really official but they claimed to hear from official sources so who really knows

I'm skeptical as f*ck, but for right now I'll apologize to Peterson. For right now, until more info comes out about Holt's positive test. If nothing does, I'll be left to assume Peterson did test positive, and he's being covered up for. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/9109815/kendall-holt-drug-test-lamont-peterson-bout-returns-atypical

I don't care what they say, you'll never convince me Peterson was clean for the Holt fight. The visual test alone is enough. + They probaly threw out his failed testosterone result because he is allowed to have the ratio he does due to his 'pre-existing medical condition' which allows him to take his T-pills. Have you seen how hairy he is? cleary has low testosterone

I can imagine Oscar and Schaefer howling Lem Satterfield out of it like Pacino and Spacey at the end of Glengarry Glen Ross. "Where did you learn your trade, you stupid fuckin' cunt, you idiot? What you're hired for is to help us. Does that seem clear to you? To help us. Not to fuck us up. You wanna know the first rule, you'd know if you ever spent a day in your life.....You never open your mouth, until you know what the shot is."

Pederson is damaged goods, i'm sure someone altered the results somewhere to save his ass, if he had got caught out again, his career would be over Everything is always fishy when it comes to Peterson and the corrupt folk he surrounds himself with The way he beat Holt, I always thought he was on something

Still a shame it would take a second failed test for some people to believe he is/was a drug cheat. And holds his belts/status despite gaining them while fighting with illegal **** in his body.
