"Welterweight Lanardo Tyner was supposed to be facing Jermall Charlo this past weekend on the Sho-Extreme portion of the Keith Thurman-Julio Diaz card that took place in Carson, California.

Tyner was inexplicably pulled out and was replaced by a late substitute. BehindTheGloves.com was informed from a trusted source that Tyner had failed a drug test following his Feb. 28 split decision loss to Chris Pearson on a ShoBox card promoted by Mayweather Promotions that took place at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York.

BehindTheGloves.com contacted the Oneida Indian Nation Athletic Commission to find out more information. Executive director/commissioner Dan Gustafson informed BTG that it is their policy not to release names, but did tell BTG that not one, but three fighters failed drug tests in relation to that show.

UPDATE: Literally minutes after this story went up, Fighthype released a piece saying that the other two fighters that tested positive were Mayweather Promotions fighters Luis Arias and Chris Pearson, who both tested positive for marijuana.

The Oneida Commission also informed BTG that the suspensions were for 45 days, meaning technically both Pearson and Arias could have fought on this weekend Mayewather-Maidana card. So it was up to Mayweather Promotions to keep them off the card.

BTG had information previously that the two fighters in question were the ones who tested positive, but awaited confirmation. BTG reached out to Pearson publicist Radio Rahim for a statement a few days ago and was provided with the following statement:

Chris is sparing with Miguel Cotto. He feels his last performance showed him areas he needs to work on. He opted to continue working on his technique while getting Cotto ready for Martinez. Chris will be back in the ring soon, facing tough competition and showing vast improvement.

In that statement, there is no admission of a positive test.




2 fighters smoked weed and the third one they didnt say.

Big deal.

With the way Floyd has been talking about weed lately, you know he smokes too.

I think most rational fight fans who question Manny aren't questioning him based on Uncle and Sr's baseless arguments. Most rational fight fans question Manny because of his reluctance to partake in extra testing when he was asked, that would prove he wasn't an abuser. That, I believe deservingly so, raised eyebrows. It's just astonishing that a lot of his fan base were against the extra testing, deeming it a bully tactic, unnecessary, and that testing should solely be left to the commission of which ever state the fight would be held in. To now changing their tunes that random testing should be held year round, and claiming that Manny was a victim of a drug cheat in Juan Manuel Marquez. What's even funnier, is that most of his fans can not see their own hypocrisy and idiocy. Floyd asking for extra test means he's scared. Manny asking for extra test 4 years after Floyd, after he was KO'd and it's no longer left up to the commission to "do their job". They claim Floyd failed 3 tests with no evidence, and that he does fake testing because it isn't year round. Does Manny Pacquiao? As a matter of fact, has Manny Pacquiao been randomly tested as much as Floyd has? You can't go around claiming Floyd is dirty if you're a Pacquiao fan, I'm sorry, but it just looks flat out ******.

Mosley vs Judah - 2008 (Cancelled)
More recently in 2008, according to ESPN.com, Zab Judah requested Sugar Shane Mosley to agree to blood testing before their non-title welterweight fight which had been scheduled for May 31 of that year in Las Vegas. However, the fight never happened because Golden Boy CEO, Richard Schaeffer, refused the Olympic-style drug testing requested by the Judah camp, stating, "Whatever tests they [the Nevada State Athletic Commission] want them to take, Shane will submit to that. [But] We are not going to do other tests than the Nevada commission requires. The fact is, Shane is not a cheater and he does not need to be treated like one."

Imagine even though Mosley was a known cheat, GB didn't think that Mosley should be treated as a cheat ..... yet with NO PROOF, they were trying to incriminate Manny of takng PEDs ..... Actually, they went much farther with Manny. Talk about hypocrites!

How were they incriminating Pacquiao.

Just how soft are you Pac fans actually?

[DannYankee]

Getting high before a fight, If anything they are handicapping themselves the dumbasses nobody in the history of ever is going to claim that weed is a ped.

Did you not read?

Schaeffer said by putting someone thru that process is like you are treating them as a cheat. They cancelled the Mosley vs Judah fight. Sound familiar?

Then they went back and did exactly the same thing with Manny even though they put their foot down and said NO WAY the year before .....

Furthermore, Floyd went like 40 fights without testing for PEDs. He started PEDs testing with Manny. I think you are smart enough to know what happened. They accused Manny of being a PEDs user with no proof. Manny sued them and they all apologized.

Great reply!

Where does he train? Stop trying to act as if Love and Bey haven't failed in the past

You got proof that tyner trains at Mayweathers gym? I will wait. Only association Tyner has had with Mayweather Promotions was fighting Chris pearson on a Mayweather Promotions show. Who is acting like Love and Bey didnt fail? Stop trying to change the subject when we are talking Tyner (who is not a part of Mayweather Promotions).
