    Prescott will get ktfo...

    Khan would have to offer him something like £150,000 or less to make it worthwhile just to redeem that L

    Agreed.

    I still have to admit that his team's statement is worded about as badly as possible here. Obviously the didn't have a speech writer or p.r. guy proof read it for them.

    And I was praising Barry Hunter and Lamont. I guess that that pick-pocketing, stealing in the Supermarket, steet thang never left him but I am surprised at Hunter. TTo hell with it! Titles back to Khan immediately, Khan's loss to him ruled a no-contest and this bum banned, no more, no less!!!

    Yeah and what is really weird is that the link the OP stated Team Peterson's statement was released by his lawyer Friedman I believe. And all other sources cite an Andre Johnson as being the person to release the statement.

    Seriously, reports are this was a urine sample. See RingMaster's earlier post about how VADA tests the urine sample. You could be right, but everyone else is saying it was urine at this point. I really don't know. I was just being a smart axe in my first reply. :D

    Schaefer said follow-up samples were taken from Peterson on April 13. Those samples came back negative for banned substances on May 2, Schaefer said.

    "There were follow-up samples taken by Peterson on April 13th. And the laborartory reported that the April sample came back as negative on May the 2nd. So while the first ones were positive, the second one showed a negative. And that really is all that we know," he said.

    Schaefer said Peterson’s attorneys are submitting paperwork this afternoon “explaining themselves” and why that substance was found in the fighter’s system.

    Well, the link to fight hype makes it sound like this would have all come out regardless. My guess is that Peterson admitted he took 'something' and when. Problem is that even if it turns out to be an innocent ignorance of something on the banned substance list that probably won't help. An Olympic swimmer got banned over her asthma inhaler and people are all about 'zero tolerance' right now which is a shame. There are shades of grey between black and white.
