Comments Thread For: Peterson: My Team Asked For Drug Tests in Khan Bout

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

An interesting fact in the Amir Khan vs. Lamont Peterson rematch is that both fighters will participate in a random Olympic style drug testing protocol. Olympic style drug testing is slowly being incorporated into major fights after Floyd Mayweather Jr. was the first fighter to introduce the testing procedure as part of the requirements leading up to a fight. Peterson-Khan II takes place on May 19th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Good thing for the sport.

man regardless for his reasons for the request, floyd has really started something. and its really hard to be on the other side of this wave.

You are right.Even the world Anti doping agency who administers the olympic style testing will admit that the drug cheats are very illusive thats why their system can detect over 150 banned substance through the urine and the blood.The good thing also is because the samples are always stored for certain numbers of years, if there arise any su****ion in the future or any mode of testing is developed, they can go back and run the checks.
Ask my why Marion Jones, Colin Montgomery were all caught after the Olympics ?

I think Las Vegas athletic commission should step up a bit.

ditto

amir drives me nuts with his vanity outside of the ring, but in the ring he's been in some damn good fights


taking drug tests can do nothing but help the sport. they help build fights. he ensure that everybody is clean, and they will establish this type of testing as the norm

Khan's a coward for ducking the testing... o wait, he's not top rank, he agreed to take the tests.

Oh I see...

I always thought it was a Roach camp thing, but in fact, it's a TR thing. Sucks

[Hougigo]

LOL! Are you kidding. If anyone is on PEDS, its Peterson. The guys main asset is his PED toughness. Like Tim Bradley.

Hahaha, jolly good sir!
Peterson and Bradley are obviously on PEDS because......
don't even know why you think that actually.

so i guess this should dispell the rumor that alex ariza and freddie roach are giving their fighters illegal substances..
