LAS VEGAS — Lamont Peterson's scheduled May 19 rematch with Amir Khan in Las Vegas has been called into doubt after a Nevada boxing official said Peterson failed a doping test.Peterson, 28, the WBA and IBF junior welterweight champion, tested unacceptably high for synthetic testosterone in a urine test administered in March by the Las Vegas-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, Nevada Athletic Commission executive Keith Kizer said Tuesday.Separate tests on a second sample from the same time were reported positive last Thursday, according to a report Kizer said he received Monday from Dr. Margaret Goodman, VADA chief executive and a former ringside physician."Unless there's some real obvious and legitimate reason for the positive test, he's not fighting," Kizer told The Associated Press.
