King Mo: I might cheat at video games, but I never cheat at fighting

5631039860 5f634665b5News broke on Tuesday that, according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal had tested positive for the steroid Drostanolone at the January 7 Strikeforce: Rockhold vs. Jardine fight card. Lawal defeated Lorenz Larkin via a second round knockout on that card.

Pending an appeal, the positive test will result in a one year ban, fine and Lawal’s victory will be overturned to a no contest.

An appeal seems very likely, as Lawal was adamant that he had not taken an illegal substance. “I’m very surprised about this. I am very careful about what I put into my body. I’ve never tested positive for a performance-enhancing drug. I’ve gone through, and still welcome, Olympic-style testing.” Lawal then added there is one thing he does cheat at, “’I’m not a cheater. I might cheat at video games, but I never cheat at fighting.” – for more see ESPN.com
