http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/9278874/middleweight-prospect-jleon-love-fails-drug-test-faces-ban-fine

Middleweight prospect J'Leon Love failed a drug test following his controversial 10-round split decision win against Gabriel Rosado on May 4, Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer said Wednesday.

Love was one of two boxers on the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Robert Guerrero undercard at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas to flunk drug tests. Super middleweight Matthew Garretson (2-1, 1 KO), 26, of Charleston, W.Va., who was knocked out in the final round of a four-round preliminary fight against Mayweather-promoted Lanell Bellows, also failed a test.

Love, 25, of Detroit, who is promoted by Mayweather, drew the pound-for-pound king's ire for the failed test. Mayweather, after all, has been vocal for the past few years in his calls for strict random drug testing in boxing.

"Floyd Mayweather nor myself condone this behavior and whatever the Nevada commission sees necessary as punishment we fully support it," Mayweather Promotions chief executive Leonard Ellerbe told ESPN.com. "In addition, there will be repercussions behind this as it relates to Mayweather Promotions and our fighter. This news is disgusting."

Rosado tweeted, "I just got news that J'Leon Love tested positive for (an) illegal substance. So not only did the judges cheat me but so did Love."

Love (16-0, 8 KOs), according to Kizer, tested positive for the banned diuretic Hydrochlorothiazide while Garretson tested positive for Furosemide, another kind of diuretic.

Diuretics are typically used to help cut weight or used as a masking agent for steroids. In Love's case, he struggled severely to make the 160-pound weight limit for the fight with Rosado.

Love was two hours late for the weigh-in and then was 161½ pounds on his first attempt to make weight. He returned to the scale nearly an hour later -- almost maxing out the time allotted to make weight -- and was 160 pounds.

"My guess is that's when he took it, allegedly. He may have taken it then or right before the weigh-in, because he was two hours late," Kizer said.

Kizer said both fighters will be temporarily suspended and eventually face a hearing before the commission, perhaps as soon as the mid-June commission meeting.

Kizer said he would seek a suspension and fine against both fighters. If Love's positive test is upheld, the result of the fight will be changed to a no decision. The result of the Garretson fight will stand because he lost.

"The usual suspension for a diuretic is seven to eight months, but the commission can go up to a year, depending on the circumstances," Kizer said.

The commission can also fine a boxer up to 100 percent of his purse but in the case of a positive diuretic test, Kizer said the commission typically hands out a fine of 30 percent. Love made $100,000 while Garretson earned $3,000.

Posted by Warren Coolidge, Thu May-16-13 10:39 PM
I'm dissapointed though..... J'Leon Love has my favorite name in sports right now...

what else would floyd's fighter be named....lol.
2182211, yeah & Floyd championing USADA was a farce
Posted by Kungset, Thu May-16-13 11:00 PM
He and Golden Boy were most likely going to use it as another tool against Manny. Just look at what USADA has done for Golden Boy already: http://www.maxboxing.com/news/max-boxing-news/usada-golden-boy-and-positive-test-results-management---part-two allowing a 3rd test on a fighter after 2 positive tests, cancelling testing abruptly and destroying samples...

and let's not forget Floyd settling the defamation lawsuit with the QUICKNESS after Manny put in a discovery request for Floyd's alleged failed tests
2182297, yup. no transparency with the testing == worthless
Posted by southphillyman, Fri May-17-13 08:18 AM
publish the test dates and results, wtf
and the lamont PEDerson shit was beyond shady
2182285, If Floyd was shady with the testing wouldnt this not happen
Posted by Ceej, Fri May-17-13 07:13 AM
You guys post like youre using Mannys post FUCKED UP head.

Love lost his last fight anyway so this is kinda justice.
2182298, wat

no matter how blatantly hypocritical it is
im not even a pacman fan


2182307, Hes a hypocrite,hes done wrong, he will probably conradict himself again
Posted by Ceej, Fri May-17-13 08:41 AM
Still hasnt lost whereas Manny almost died in the ring.

Now what?
2182315, it's boxing. people get knocked the fuck out. Manny is a warrior
Posted by T Reynolds, Fri May-17-13 08:49 AM
Floyd is a businessman and the most talented boxer out there but is lacking a certain something
2182316, A loss.
Posted by Ceej, Fri May-17-13 08:52 AM
>Floyd is a businessman and the most talented boxer out there
>but is lacking a certain something
2182319, A lot of greats have losses. They're still greats.
Posted by T Reynolds, Fri May-17-13 08:53 AM
Having your ultimate goal be 'no losses' vs 'fighting the greatest fights'

well that's where fighters differ
2182321, Floyd differs then.
Posted by Ceej, Fri May-17-13 08:56 AM
He upsets people whilst doing so as well.

Whereas Manny upsets people by losing to JMM yearly.
2182323, ^^^ prime example of 'mad' projection
Posted by T Reynolds, Fri May-17-13 08:58 AM
2182325, Oh I'm furious
Posted by Ceej, Fri May-17-13 08:59 AM
clearly
2182326, I didn't say you were mad. I said you were projecting.
Posted by T Reynolds, Fri May-17-13 09:01 AM
maybe out of madness

maybe out of acceptance

I don't know
2182329, Oh.
Posted by Ceej, Fri May-17-13 09:01 AM
My Bad.

I'm not mad now.
2182331, I'm here for you in case you get mad though.
Posted by T Reynolds, Fri May-17-13 09:02 AM
2182332, I'll be mad if I lose my money from my bet I won on J'Leon
Posted by Ceej, Fri May-17-13 09:04 AM
They cant do that right?
2182333, LOL
Posted by AnonymousCoward, Fri May-17-13 09:04 AM
2182344, its boxing it happens when you take dangerous fights
Posted by JAESCOTT777, Fri May-17-13 09:23 AM
JMM is just a dangerous matchup for Pac

he wasnt vs Floyd cause we saw Floyd dominate him
reason we now know this because THEY ACTUALLY FOUGHT

i think Floyd will beat Pac but i cant say for sure
cause you never know Pac's style might give Floyd problems and he has power and he's stupid enough to take his punches to land his.

imho great fighters fight the best fighters(when they are still great) of their time

Ali -Fraizer,Foreman,Norton,patterson
SRL -hearns,Duran,Haglar
Oscar-Shane 2x,Tito,Bhop,sweet pea,Floyd

etc etc



















2182313, Using diuretics is "juicing" now?
Posted by veritas, Fri May-17-13 08:48 AM
This post is weird.

2182317, DONT COME IN HERE WITH LOGIC
Posted by Ceej, Fri May-17-13 08:52 AM
2182324, the article said it is used to mask PED
Posted by debo40oz, Fri May-17-13 08:59 AM
but if he took it took right before the fight it wasn't a masking agent but a diuretic. but whatever.
2182328, this is D- level reading comprehension
Posted by veritas, Fri May-17-13 09:01 AM
2182343, and this is A level mad
Posted by southphillyman, Fri May-17-13 09:21 AM
he used a banned substance got caught will be suspended and will lose his W and his purse
feel free to speculate about the circumstances surrounding the use or argue the semantics of slang to feel better about the situation
ellerbee thinks it's "disgusting" and so do I
hopefully this incident encourages floyd to clean up his gym/stable
start checking niggas LV bookbags or something damn
2182354, i'm furious
Posted by veritas, Fri May-17-13 09:45 AM
that you non-reading motherfuckers probably have diplomas.

calling a drug that isn't performance enhancing a "PED" isn't "semantics of slang" it's just inaccurate.

just say that he tested positive for a banned substance.

and connecting this to mayweather makes about as much sense as suggesting that manny pacquiao or freddie roach are probably pot dealers because JCC tested positive for weed last fight.

but yes, continue this anti-floyd crusade with whatever evidence seems damning enough to make a post.

2182320, Further proof that fighters need to compete at their natural weight
Posted by AnonymousCoward, Fri May-17-13 08:56 AM
Everything points to Love using diuretics to make weight, as opposed to masking the use of PEDs.

There needs to be a sea change in boxing. I'm not talking about rehydration clauses. Boxing needs across the board rules about how heavy boxers can be on fight night. That would put a swift end to the practice of boxers draining themselves in order to make weight two full divisions lower than their healthy ring weight.
2182322, He did all that to make weight and he fought like shit
Posted by Ceej, Fri May-17-13 08:57 AM
He did not win that fight.
