Herring: These tests are 30% faulty

WBO junior lightweight world champion Jamel Herring isn’t happy that his world title defense against Jonathan Oquendo was postponed. “These tests are 30% faulty,” Herring posted on social media. “Here’s clearly my timeline of when I contracted the virus, til the time I came back negative. I even woke up today on weight, ready to go, and even took an antibody test this morning to prove I’m fine, but the commission didn’t want to risk it.

“Crazy thing is… this was the easiest weight cut that I had! I wasn’t drained, and I could’ve made weight earlier last week. My trainer and manager Brian “Bomac” McIntyre wanted to see if I could compete at 126… but that’s pushing it.

“I did everything possible. They asked me to take the antibody test this morning, just for them to return and cancel the fight.”

  • Good for you….people need to start standing up…..imagine the NFL will be tested 3 times per week….Not only is everyone on the team tested but the ref and team members have to wear a mask…..if they are all negative than I don’t understand the concept…..law suits need to be filed.

  • 30% faulty means they are 70% accurate. Furthermore, you took an antigen test (do you have the virus) , not an antibody test (have you had the virus). Just a thought…

    • If you were falsely accused of lying–with a serious penalty at stake–and were asked to take a lie detector test that was only 70% accurate, would you risk it?

  • Virus is fake! Speak up champ although I doubt they will air this on fake news sjw espn. The virus is a hoax with rigged testing. Genius plan to bring about the new world order!

  • Good one but still not good enough. Truth is “these test are 100% faulty” – rt-pcr test CAN NOT test for the so called “viral load” and antibody test doesn’t test for any virus at all – it only “tests” for antibodies someone believes are antibodies for a virus. It ‘s all a huge scam and more people need to start calling it out.
