This whole thing sounds su****ious to me. It sounds like the Russian promoter was afraid or knew that his fighter was going to lose and didn't want to lose the belt. The WBA should strip Lebedev of the title for this stunt.
Ah yes, blame the other guy for your fighter getting caught cheating a second time. It's just too easy making the Russians out to be a villain but when you're Don King you'd think people would know better.

Hall of Fame promoter Don King is furious over the cancellation of last Friday's cruiserweight title fight between his boxer Guillermo Jones and WBA champion Denis Lebedev, which was scheduled to take place at the Dynamo Palace of Sports in Krylatskoye, Moscow, Russia.
The fighters first met last May, also in Russia, and saw Jones give Lebedev a beating before a knockout victory in the eleventh. A few weeks after the match was over, it was revealed that Jones tested positive for a banned weight cutting agent, furosemide.

Don King is F.O.S. and Jones should be banned permanantly from boxing.
