@TheFightSource I'm hoping my guy is right; I'm a @kingpete26 fan and hate to see his career f**ked up. Either way, is not good.

I know it's expensive, but I'd like to see all major contenders tested all the time.

[Weebler I]

If there's anyone I suspect is one peds right now, it's Marquez.

Marquez has got a dodgy nutritionist now doesn't he?

I don't trust any of them any more, just the British fighters.

[Uns]

Nah, we know what Marquez is on. His own urine, duh!
Just clowning. Sad thing this whole mess is though. Was really looking forward to the fight.

It's called hiding the evidence.

I don't want to comment on Peterson's case until more information about this is revealed.

However, this is why random drug tests are important. OSDT should be mandatory in boxing.

[William Blake]

Lets be honest..... the only ones NOT on PEDs are Marquez and Floyd

Floyd could be doing all kinds of things during his long lay offs....he's also associated with a guy who deals in testosterone enhancement (check Gabe Montoya's twitter for a link to the story)

Wasn't this fight near a sell out with fans flying in from overseas? GBP is going to have a serious damage control issue on there hands.

Maybe pull a Top Rank and have some random contender crash a press conference and match him up with Khan.

Suspension and belts should be stripped from lamont.

I agree with both things you have stated here. However, it is odd that Peterson is the one who wanted blood and urine testing. We will see what unfolds in the next couple of days.

Wow. Well I thought Khan won the first fight anyway. I wonder how long Lamont has been doing this.

I'm telling you, this s**t is rampant in professional boxing, anyoen who doesn't think so is a f**king moron.

Iv'e been saying this for the last three years, and all it takes is some commmon sense to know this is the case. It is rampant in virtually all sports, so why would boxing be any different? Given it's testing is laughably inadequate one could assume it's even more prevalent than in other sports.

To those that are saying it's a mistake and he wouldn't have done it as he knew testers were testing, it may well prove to be some kind of mistake, HOWEVER i doubt it. He thought he could run the guantlet and not get caught, and he thought that because most of the time he actually wouldn't get caught. Guys in the "tour de farce" face some of the most stringent testing imaginable. They get tested during all different stages of the tour at the drop of a hat and test on an insane frequency, yet the testers admit riders are a step ahead and they are successfully running the guantlet. They are just that good at it, after having done if for years and years.
