Lamont Peterson asks for continuance in license hearing

Lamont Peterson asks for continuance in license hearing – ESPN.

In the aftermath of testing positive for synthetic testosterone,
junior welterweight titlist Lamont Peterson quickly applied for a
license in Nevada anyway, hoping that the Nevada State Athletic
Commission would grant him a license despite his admission to using the
banned substance.

Now Peterson doesn’t seem to be in such a hurry after his attorney asked for a second postponement of the hearing.

Peterson
was due to be on the NSAC agenda for its July 14 meeting. However, the
Peterson camp has asked for another continuance, according to commission
executive director Keith Kizer.

“Mr. Peterson’s local
counsel, Pete Bernhard, wrote to us asking for more time to get more
medical information for us,” Kizer told ESPN.com on Monday. “Obviously,
(Peterson) can’t fight here until he comes before the full commission
and gets a license, so there’s no rush on our behalf. They can take all
the time that they need.”
