LAS VEGAS —With a May 19 bout in Las Vegas on the line, boxer Lamont Petersons lawyer is telling Nevada boxing regulators the champion fighters failed doping test in March stemmed from an “inadvertent” failure to disclose medical treatment last November for low testosterone levels. Youth Ray Rice Jersey . In a letter obtained late Tuesday by The Associated Press, Washington, D.C.-based attorney Jeff Fried told the Nevada Athletic Commission that Petersons doctor determined that a one-time “therapeutic” treatment “would not produce a significant enhancement of athletic performance.” Peterson, of Washington, defeated Amir Khan in a disputed split decision in December in the nations capital to become the WBA and IBF junior welterweight champion. Petersons scheduled rematch next week with Khan in Las Vegas was in doubt after a urine test in March found unacceptably high levels of synthetic testosterone in Petersons system, Athletic Commission executive Keith Kizer said Tuesday. Kizer said Peterson (30-1-1, with 15 KOs) would have faced routine approval in the next several days for the fight scheduled next week at the Mandalay Bay resort. Now, it would be up to the five-member commission to hold a special meeting to accept Petersons explanation and grant a license for the Khan bout. The panel isnt currently scheduled to meet until May 21. “Lamont has never had a positive anti-doping test either before (or) after this isolated occurrence,” Fried said in the letter that appears to apologize for the failed test but doesnt specifically seek a commission hearing. Fried didnt immediately respond to an after-hours message seeking comment. The letter cited the findings of three doctors and said more tests were scheduled Wednesday. Peterson “should not be penalized by the commission based on the facts as summarized in this letter and within the medical correspondence,” Fried said. Two tests of Petersons urine samples by the Las Vegas-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association reached the same failure finding, according to a report Kizer said he received Monday from Dr. Margaret Goodman, VADA chief executive and a former ringside physician. “Unless theres some real obvious and legitimate reason for the positive test, hes not fighting,” Kizer told AP early Tuesday. Khans promoter, Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions in Los Angeles, called it premature to say whether the Peterson-Khan fight will be held. But if Peterson cant fight, Khan wont face a substitute opponent, Schaefer said. “If he is allowed to fight, obviously we will fight,” Schaefer said. “Were going to wait to see what the Athletic Commission decides. It would be impossible to find an opponent within a week and a half for a fight of this calibre.” Goodman and Dr. Edwin “Flip” Homansky, a former Nevada Athletic Commission member also affiliated with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, declined to comment on Petersons test results. They cast VADA as a neutral testing agency. Peterson and Fried were notified April 13, but didnt share word of the first positive steroid test by the UCLA Olympic Analytical Laboratory in Los Angeles. “It appears as though Mr. Peterson and Mr. Fried … chose not to notify third parties at that time in the hope that Mr. Petersons “B” sample would test negative,” Goodman said. The document said the second test was conducted at the UCLA Olympic lab April 30 with at least one Peterson representative present. Khan (26-2, with 18 knockouts) lost his WBA and IBF belts in a split-decision loss to Peterson on Dec. 10, but was granted a rematch after complaining about the referees decision to deduct him two points for pushing. He also was upset by the presence of an unauthorized man at ringside who was seen distracting an official. Youth Ed Reed Jersey .

The break-even rule comes into effect from the 2014-15 season and it is already having an influence, with transfer activity down across Europe. “We will never go back on financial fair play, it was decided unanimously by the clubs, it is a revolution in European football and we will do it,” Platini told a news conference. “We gave them time, three – four years to put everything in place. Now were going to start working.” UEFA General Secretary Gianni Infantino revealed there was a 36 per cent decrease in spending last January, compared to January 2011. The total transfer spent this year— excluding the deals on Thursday and Friday—is 78 per cent less than the 2008-2011 average. “The trend is starting to turn, there is a significant slowdown in transfer activity,” Infantino said. “The new Club Financial Control Body monitoring this activity reports that the new Financial Fair Play Rules are having a clear and positive affect already. “The financial losses are stabilized but still at dangerous levels.” Meanwhile, Platini took a swipe at FIFA president Sepp Blatter, criticizing his autocratic style after FIFA gave the green light to goal-line technology. “When you talk about technology, FIFA didnt decide on goal—line technology, President Blatter did,” Platini said. Ravens Terrell Suggs Jersey. “No one in the executive committee was consulted, nor was anyone in any other FIFA committees invited to give their views. “It was just the FIFA president along with IFAB (the body that determines the laws of the game). Hes in charge and its up to him. FIFA has four of the eight IFAB votes to use as he wants and the four British associations have one vote each. Proposals need a majority of six to become law. “I think the four votes for the British are okay, its the four votes for FIFA I dont understand,” Platini said. “The president has the four votes and he decides what he wants, he never speaks about the IFAB in the executive committee. The four votes of Blatter are not correct. “If the executive committee or the Congress had decided on the technology I will accept more because its a democratic decision. Blatter never discussed it with the executive committee. He has four votes and he decides.” Platini has never made a secret of the fact he is firmly against goal-line technology. He favours using additional assistant referees which UEFA has approved for all its competitions from this year following extensive tests. “No-ones ever seen goal-line technology, while you all know the five-referee system,” Platini added. “Ive always been opposed to technology, Im not going to change my mind at the age of 57.”. ’ ’ ’
