Peterson v Khan bout in hands of NSAC – Schaefer
Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, issued a statement on Tuesday regarding the scheduled world title bout between Lamont Peterson and Amir Khan, which remains in doubt after Peterson delivered a positive drug test.
Schaefer confirmed on Tuesday evening that the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) informed the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) that WBA super-lightweight champion Peterson has tested positive for a substance consistent with a steroid. Schaefer also confirmed that both A and B samples were positive.
It is now the job of the NSAC to determine whether the fight will go ahead. That decision will be made after Team Peterson is given a chance to explain the unexpected test results.
