      Mark Workman broke this story when he interviewed Morrison on this website months ago, then the media robbed his story and ran with it. Some of them had enough decency to credit him for all of the quotes they robbed from his piece.

          Not exactly, more like hack writers that should get fired from the newspapers they work for. Not the first or last time newspapers robbed stories from net writers.

            Anybody but myself find the false positve beleiveable? I mean boxing is know to be corrupt beyond compare. Plus Tommy doesn't seem the type to **** hairy *******s, or have his reamed. I doubt he was shooting drugs. And contrary to popular belief. I heard it was pretty rare to get HIV from a woman. Not impossible, but kinda rare.

                True, but I wonder what the accuracy rate is on the test. Nothing is 100%. Im not one to be a conspiracy theorist, but I wouldnt put it past King to have some **** doctored.

                    not sure about his test or why he thinks he doesn't have it...maybe he has tested again and they can't find any trace of it, but is this because of the drugs he was taking to help him with it, or was it really a false-positive in the original test.

                    Lab tests can get messed up...there was a program on CNN about Forensics Lab tests that came back positive, but should have been negative.
                    There are so many ways a test can get messed up...from the person who does it, not to experienced, to not double checking, to contaminated sample(s), to mixed up sample(s), etc.
                    There has also been many athletes that have tested positive for many different things in their blood, only to later find out that the Lab messed up somehow; {examples listed above}

                    Magic Johnson has HIV, but takes medicine for it...it supposedly so well controlled, that I think there is no sign of it in his blood, or so little...but he has to take the meds anyway just in case.

                    Then again, maybe there is a "Conspiracy" by the "Man" in order to give wide spread awareness to the public by giving a "positive" HIV test result to somebody that is high profiled like "Magic" Johnson...this way they can get the word out through the media by having a high profiled person have HIV...Magic doesn't have to have it, he just has to think he has it

                      I thought Tommy fought one overseas fight after the refused to license him in the US. I could be wrong. He's been out of the ring for omething like 10 years now. Even if it was a false positive, though that's doubtful becuse when you're diagnosed they immediately run more tests to confirm it, he's been out of the ring for 10 years or so. He doesn't have ring rust. By now he's got ring barnacles.
