    Tarver: "It's an honest mistake, a false positive!"

    http://www.*************.com/headlin...onest-mistake/

    IBO cruiserweight champion Antonio “Magic Man” Tarver has taken to Twitter to maintain his innocence in the matter of a positive drug test.

    Testing results from Tarver’s June 2 split decision draw with Lateef Kayode showed that the Magic Man tested positive for drostanolone, an anabolic steroid.

    “Today’s news of a false positive caught me as well as my family and supporters by surprise, I apologize for the embarressment [sic] it caused,” tweets Tarver.

    “I’ll appeal and submit to the California Commission everything that I’ve consume prior to June 2 that could of caused this honest mistake.”

    The California State Athletic Commission has suspended Tarver and also fined him $2500. Tarver earned $1.1 million for his fight with Kayode, the result of which will be changed from a draw to a no-decision.

    Tarver is scheduled to resume his analytic duties for the Showtime network during Saturday’s Victor Ortiz versus Josesito Lopez fight broadcast.

    He also recently announced that he has been chosen to be the boxing analyst for the 2012 Olympics.

      idc if he never boxes again, but him testing positive should not interfere with his announcing/commentating career. hes really too good, one of the better color commentators out there, i think hes much better than manny steward.

            Him and Roy are my favorite commentators to listen to, quality commentators have become rare. I'm sick of the clowns we have right now.
