The heavyweight title fight between Samuel Peter and Jameel McCline scheduled for Saturday in Madison Square Garden is in jeopardy after a report that McCline received illegal drugs over the last two years.
According to the New York Daily News, McCline (38-7-3, 23 KOs) received more than $12,000 worth of steroids, human growth hormone and related drugs from the Boca Raton, Florida-based Infinity Longevity, a clinic associated with the Signature Pharmacy scandal.
Citing an unnamed source, the newspaper alleged that McCline received testosterone, Stanozolol and Nandrolone, along with human growth hormone and Tamoxifen between March 2005 and December 2006.
New York State Athletic Commission chairman Ron Scott Stevens plans to meet with the state Attorney General's office about the fight, which could be cancelled.
McCline and Peter (28-1, 22 KOs) are scheduled to meet for the WBC interim heavyweight title.
