The boxing world was hit with some shattering news on Monday when it was reported that IBF/WBA junior welterweight champion Lamont Peterson has tested positive for synthetic testosterone ahead of his May 19th rematch with Amir Khan, set to take place at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Coach from the Bradley fight? could this guy have started taking roids possibly just prior to giving the "fight of his life"?

[GRUSTLER]

This is unbelievable that the guy would ask for the tests and then get caught by them. Wow!

i hope the fight still goes on, but if it does, petersons mind will be everywhere but the fight.

You're an idiot. If it was PAC you would say ban him. You fool.

Sad but true, what now? the doubt will be there in this fight and in any other.

I hope this mess will be able to be clear soner than later I like Lamont and hope he can clear up his reputation.

Effen floyd, f_l_o_m_o_s, floydiots. It was "urine" specimen that detected the synthetic testerones and it was Peterson who requested it. LOL. All the Floyd talks about "blood" test is all excuses. Pac has agreed to random blood test already, but it will be Floyd caught using PEDs like Peterson. LOL.

AS A High Profile Athlete/Boxing Champion; It's YOUR Responsibility To Know!

It's your responsibility to know what's going into your system/your body. None of this... "well I didn't know..... well I trusted him to do his job.... I thought it was flaxseed oil".... ie: Barry Bonds' famous quote. It's your career, you're in the ring taking the punches, not the trainer, it's your paycheck, it's your character, and it's your credibility at stake! None of this don't ask, don't tell crap. Strip Lamont of his title, cancel the fight, and ban the dude just like Boxing banned Antonio Margarito. Just a ****** move, and Peterson is ultimately responsible; he has the final say. Now you have Khan fight No.1 Contender, Juan Manuel Marquez for the vacant title, on July 14th in Texas Stadium; even a larger fight than with Peterson.

Floyd will be next, he alway say Pac is doing it, but we know that Floyd has never been tested.

Peterson messed up and is going to be suspended a year, but Khan is the real Loser here. Lamont might be the most winnable fight for Amir Khan at this point of his career and if Khan were able to beat Peterson in the rematch, he may of been able to parlay that into a Mayweather Clash. Now Amir might have to wait for the Winner Ortiz v Berto or go to Devon Alexander who looks very Strong at welterweight in order to secure a fight with Floyd. And given Khans struggles with the Soft Punching Peterson, i find it hard to imagine Amir being able to beat any of the Three Fighters i just Mentioned. My bet is that Golden Boy and Team Khan understand this fact and will try and get the fight pushed forward as scheduled, instead of taking on a much more dangerous opponent.
