Khan tweet says fight off - 5live

If Lamont is guilty then any other outcome would have damaged boxing further. Any news on replacement fighter? Prescott get your timberlands on tight!

Just seen it on sky sport news. Khan talking about fighting end of June/July now.

It's looking worse for Peterson by the day. Over on the 'scene Ricahrd Schaeffer has said that he finds it very suspicious that Peterson lives and trains in Washington where they have the best medical resources in the US but went to Las Vegas, to a clinic that NSAC/VADA have never heard of to get tested and treated for his "low testoesterone" levels.

More like the incredible hulk. Heard he was being really narky at the littlest things too. Maybe the guy in the hat is his supplier.

Does the Luxembourg boxing board of control drug test?

Exactly!

Apparently there are loads of these little TRT clinics in the US where you can go to have it done.

There is another good article about the subject here with comments from Victor Conte: http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/boxing ... told-us-so

A lot of people don't realise that you can actually have elevated testosterone levels show up and still pass the test, because there is to much leeway. Most people have a 1:1 test level, yet some places including Nevada allow up to a 6:1 level. To put that into context it's basically f**king impossible to have have a 6:1 ratio naturally.

Citing low test levels as an excuse is just that as well. It's like Alaistair Overeem recently saying that when he's 265 pounds of muscle. He's a poster boy for someone who doesn't have this problem unless he's taken steriods and f**ked up his natural test production (he says he hasn't).

The nail in the coffin for Peterson is the fact that he didn't declare it. With all the hype surrounding this stuff at the moment if you've got a prolem and get injected with test pellets, surely you would report it to the athletic commission?

His victory over Khan should be declared a no contest as he admittedly had the injection(s) before the first fight.

If thats the case I agree.

[Datsue]

A sober, level-headed look at the issues surrounding all this.

[Ezzard]

So you're allowed up 6 times they usual testosterone levels... B100dy he11...

[Ezzard]

Any lawyers on here?

Could people who have booked plane tickets, hotels etc... for the sole purpose of watching the fight sue Peterson?

Theoretically of course.

Give the information has been known since March and not made public, possibly

Level headed, maybe, but it's suggesting that we don't mind all the other s**t that goes on and we're only getting riled about about roid heads. Fact is I see boxing fans complaining about every type of bad incident in the sport, it' just that without any central commission or governing body nothing gets done to right the wrongs.

And it also comes back to the fact that the responsibility shouldn't be with a clean athlete to starting taking roids to be able to compete.

Peterson is wrong and should be punished accordingly, but Khan does talk some rubbish, and it seems to be getting worse, not better, as time goes on. We will now probably not here the end of this (from Team Khan).

Put him in there with Mayweather. Richard Schafer keeps talking about Khan facing Mayweather, so have to bollocks to put him in there with him. He'd get skooled!
