Peterson Tests Are Clean; Holt Tests Positive!

We believe the correct information is now out there.  IBF Junior Welterweight champion Lamont Peterson tested negative for all banned substances on the World Anti-Doping Agency list as well as for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and luteinizing hormone (LH).

According to Dan Rafael of ESPN.com, it was, in fact, Kendall Holt that tested positive for HCG after Holt lost to Peterson on February 22 at the DC Armory.  As reports said earlier, HCG is a female fertility drug that can be used to restart testosterone production. When former Los Angeles Dodgers player Manny Ramirez used it, he claimed it was used to lose weight.  Rafael's article also revealed that HCG's presence in the body can be an indicator of cancer.

“We are very pleased that there has been clarification that Lamont Peterson did not test positive for any banned substances as reported inaccurately earlier today,” said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions in a statement “Today’s incident exemplifies the importance of accurate fact checking prior to reporting news. Golden Boy Promotions looks forward to Lamont Peterson’s next fight and furthering his career.”

To all the Willie Lynches of the world stop hating on Lamont and the Head Bangers. Just because their amateurs can fight don't mean they are on some form of enhancement. Teach your youngins how to fight instead of teaching them how to smoke K2 maybe they too will become great.

The media has to do a better job on reporting these type of stories. They must have all the facts. Lamont should sue all those media outlets that reported that garbage. The young man accepted responsibly for the last incident and moved on. You guys should move on as well. Let him enjoy his current and future success and let him continue to rep the area as a world champion.

Golden Boy got his back, they got enough money to grease the right pockets, if Lamont tries to sue the real deal will come out for sure, as far as boxing Lamont has talent... But I can't say that for all the Headbangers boxers... They need enhancements too wear their opponents down wit brute strength... But if you box em, you'll beat em if your in tip top shape... Unless you get hooked up wit the chemist they have, but you'll get caught on the professional side... But if you wit Golden Boy they'll protect you, as long as they have interest in you!!!!

Head Bangers boxers don't have to cheat, they suffer close loses like everybody else but you don't hear them wind about it or say the other boxers are on steroids. Come on now these are kids you re referring too.

Stop the hating, don't be mad because the Head Bangers has better boxers amateurs and pros regardless of how anyone feel about them.

People who write on Beltway Blogs rolls his shit in tiny balls and those who these words of wit eat them tiny balls of shit.

Your not gonna hear them complain, because they know when they lose it wasn't because their opponent was stronger, it was because they got out boxed... Now Lil. Pat will be the best boxer Headbangers ever produced, there were others that was better but they quit, or caught up in the streets.... Never a hater, just telling the truth (real talk)... A lot of you coaches from Headbangers never fought before, so when your fighters win & really lost, it's more of a win for you than your fighter.. Because you don't know what it's like coming to the same tired boring gym to train hard everyday to get ready for a match... But when they lose, you make up all kinds of reasons why they lost... It takes a lot too be a boxer period rather your amateur or pro so don't never tell another boxer or coach that fought before, that feels they won to go get better... Because you really don't know what it's like too get in tthe ring... I suggest you register your self in the nationals master division.... So you'll really experience what's it like to get In the ring.... Once you try it, I pray the judges don't rob you, if so I bet you'll have a different outlook on fairness in judging.. Also you'll start telling your fighters you lost this one son, but the judges gave it to you, but will beat him for real next time, instead you pat em on the back get on the social blog & say, oh they hating on us.. No the hating is too you,not y'all fighters.. Because they know what it's like too get in ring, Whether they win, lose, or recieve a gift... Also I'm a firm believer if you haven't boxed before you shouldn't be able too coach, unless you take boxing lessons!!!!

I only reported what others wrote. After I saw the initial report from Satterfield, I called him personally. He assured me that his initial report was accurate. I always have and will continue to trust Satterfield. It was only then that I relayed the story. Once the story changed, my posts changed with it.

If I did make an error, it was not checking with Headbangers Promotions as well. Having said that, I did use the term "reports say." In journalistic terms, that does mean that facts could change. I personally did not confirm this story.

no need to apologize for anything Gary. You reported what was being reported.

It's many coaches around the region that never fought but are great coaches and there are many coaches that fought who are not. Let me ask a questioned? If your boxer won a controversial decision in a national tournament but you felt he lost, would you honestly allow the other boxer to advance to the next round. No you wouldn't, if you are honest you would applaud the win like everyone else mainly if it's against the most hated Head Bangers.
