8CountNews caught up with Top Rank Head Bob Arum and got to the bottom of things concerning the Lamont Peterson steroid issue. Firstly, Arum makes one thing abundantly clear, Lamont Peterson did not cheat. Barry Hunter did nothing wrong, and this kid (Peterson) was hooked on a technical issue. Arum explains in detail about what VADA discovered and how their method of testing differs from other agencies that test.
Arum confirms that the fight for the 19th is off, but says that he’s working on postponing the fight a few weeks in order for Peterson’s doctor to prove that there was no cheating going on, and that Lamont Peterson deals with a medical issue that requires raising his testosterone.
