Sorry if mentioned elsewhere

But rumours rife that Peterson has failed a steroids drugs test and lawyers are fighting to save the fight


Cant believe a boxer of his calibre and his life history would be so niave or reckless


I hope it ain't true diminishes his performance last time out

From what I have heard so far, the positive test was in March (both A&B samples), but a second one shortly after came up negative.

Talk of getting a late replacement in for Khan - Carson Jones, who fought Allen Conyers a few weeks ago and who is known for taking late fights. The worry is that it isn't a draw for the Mandalay Bay venue.

Nevada State due to decide imminently.

In boxing, and increasingly in other 'power' sports, it may well be easier to determine who is NOT taking some type of forbidden potion'

That will cheer Allardyce up.

Blimey, first dodgy judges, then cheating with drugs? Did anyone check Peterson didn't have a horseshoe in his glove before the fight?

Titles should be returned to Khan straight away.

Andy Petterson?

Terrible for Khan. Robbed of the titles now robbed of the chance to reclaim them. I don't think he will want to ever be near Peterson again unless he is knocking his head off.
