Tommy Morrison's former agent said the fighter tested positive for the HIV virus in mandatory blood tests for a boxing license, The Arizona Republic reported Friday on its Web site.
"Tommy has tested positive for the HIV antibodies and he always has," Randy Lang told the newspaper on Friday.
Lang said he stopped working for Morrison, the former heavyweight champion set to make his mixed martial arts debut Saturday night at Cliff Castle Casino, on Feb. 25 because the tests had been misrepresented by the boxer and promoter Peter McKinn.

""It's been a long time coming," Morrison told ESPN.com on Tuesday. "I know I didn't have [HIV] in the first place. I never had it. I believe it, but they kicked me out of the sport. ... Over the last two or three months, I have taken five, six different [HIV] tests and continued to pass them. It was just a matter of time before they had to let me fight again." "

There are many reasons to force fighters to undergo prefight medical tests. No fighter should be at an unfair advantage or disadvantage due to an undisclosed medical condition or drug, and no one should fight with a serious communicable disease. The latter was the reason why, in the early 1990’s, the Nevada State Athletic Commission became the first boxing regulatory body in the country to require HIV testing.
In 1996, Tommy Morrison was denied a license to box in Nevada when he tested positive for HIV. He was tested twice. The results were checked and rechecked by the most reputable lab in the country and deemed indisputable.
Various publications and Internet sites continue to incorrectly state that Nevada placed Mr. Morrison on indefinite suspension. That is not true. Mr. Morrison was denied a license to box, which meant that at any time he could have applied to another jurisdiction and he could have presented the Nevada commission with updated results. To date, the Nevada commission has received no evidence that its findings were incorrect.
Morrison’s name resurfaced in the news recently, when he said he was resuming his boxing career and that he had been mistakenly diagnosed as HIV positive by the State of Nevada. At that point, I contacted renowned Quest Diagnostics Pathologist, Dr. John Hiatt. Dr. Hiatt has worked with the Nevada commission for many years and was the physician who reviewed Morrison’s original 1996 HIV results. At my request, Dr. Hiatt reviewed the archived results yet again. He says that they are ironclad and unequivocal.
Several months ago, Morrison was granted a license to box in West Virginia after members of the ABC Medical Committee, in conjunction with the local state athletic commission, supposedly determined that he was HIV negative. In late April, Morrison was scheduled to fight again in Texas, but that fight was canceled when blood work was not sent to the Texas commission in a timely manner.
That should have been a “red flag.”
In evaluating a patient, any patient, it helps to review prior test results for comparison. I was astonished that no one from West Virginia called me to inquire about Nevada’s 1996 test results. This is especially odd given that every credible Infectious disease specialist will tell you, “Once HIV positive, always HIV positive.”
On Friday, June 8, the Arizona Republic reported that Tommy Morrison had recently tested positive for HIV. Randy Lang, Morrison’s former agent, told the newspaper that he stopped working with the fighter after the results of his HIV tests were misrepresented.
If Lang’s comments are true, then West Virginia and its experts did not do due diligence to ensure that Morrison’s test results were legitimate.
If Morrison is still HIV positive, how many other fighters, ringside personnel, and spectators have been unnecessarily exposed to the blood of an HIV positive individual?
Mr. Morrison’s situation is one more piece of evidence that boxing needs federal regulation.

Yllättätyin kun näin nuo kuvat Morrisonista, nimittäin kädet oli aika tikut verrattuna vuosien takaisiin kuviin. Tainnut jättää hörmöönit vähemmälle.
