Comments Thread For: Peterson-Holt: Situation Not Clear on Who Tested Positive

@ Shoulder Roll

He's the same guy who "caught" Berto taking PED's on National TV before the Guerrero fight

So it was Holt who was confirmed for testing positive? I thought he said he said he was cleared. Did he think he could cheat against a cheater?

Guess we have yet another drug cheat to add to the long list of users.

I wonder if he'll be fined or suspended.

This **** is a joke.

Positive test results keep getting swept under the rug because no promoter wants a positive fighter since it costs them money in cancelled fights and in future fights from bans.

They have exact criteria for what meets a positive result. If you cant put out the truth and who tested for what and at what level then dont put it out at all.

That's why PEDs will never be eradicated from boxing. Because at the end of the day the fans don't really care.

Hell, the fighters themselves barely care. Floyd sure as hell doesn't care; where is his outrage at Pederson or Berto? Floyd still wanted to fight Berto after his positive test before he lost to Guerrero.

Pederson was caught in a red handed manner that is extremely rare in sports, and he actually had anabolic steroid pellets surgically implanted in his hips, so he'd be roiding non stop for a whole year.

Not only was Pederson roiding hardcore in a shameless manner, we finally caught a PED user completely red handed.

That's why I applaud Donaire and Khan for being enrolled on extra vada testing.

Well not just that fans (in general) dont care but also positive tests cost money.

Everyone was onboard with this advanced testing until positives started popping up. Like the morales fight they knew he was positive for clen but did the fight anyways because they dont want to loose the money.

With this extra testing outside of the commission it seems like there is no real enforcement or consequences.

Yup, it's kinda scary knowing how many cheats are out there fighting without a care in the world. They definitely confirmed that somebody that night tested positive but they won't say who. Why is Golden Boy hiding their test results?

Hmmmmmmmmm I wonder which fighter was on steroids, PEDerson or holt.....

Positive tests cost money? Tests cost money, period. VADA $20,000, USADA $100,000.

To then have a fighter test positive ruining match-ups compounds the nightmare for promoters. You can see why they aren't keen.

Everyone has the image of promoters being super-rich, but in most cases they struggle to make a profit.
