Lamont PEDerson even failed the Drug test for Kendall Holt's fight.
Former junior welterweight titlist Kendall Holt's postfight drug test following his knockout loss last month to titleholder Lamont Peterson came back with an "atypical finding" for human chorionic gonadotropin, the banned substance commonly known as hCG, the promoters for both fighters told ESPN.com on Thursday.
HCG is the same substance for which baseball player Manny Ramirez tested positive, leading to a 50-game suspension by Major League Baseball in 2009. It is a female fertility drug often used by steroid users to restart natural testosterone production. It also has been used to assist in weight loss. Its presence in the body also can be an indicator of cancer.
