Roy Jones

Roy Jones jr failed a drug test for a form of steroid and then blamed it on Ripped Fuel BUT

Twinlab Ripped Fuel does not now, nor has it ever, contained any steroids,” stated Mark Fox, president of ISI Brands

So he lied to keep his image clean that he didn't know but he did.

 

Found this on another thread


"ripped fuel contained androstenedione (was sold OTC by GNC) and was claimed to be safe (not a steriod), but that was false, it is a steroid, and you would have tested + for steroids for using it"

At the time it had androstenedione

Don't know who Mark Fox is but not sure what product he is talking about .

 

You are absolutely right thanks for clearing that up. He still took a steroid which is cheating but he may have not known if that is what he took not everyone reads labels. I saw the quote from Mark Fox put in a RJJ thread he is the President of the company that makes Ripped Fuel BUT I think he bought the company later upon further investigation. While there are still question marks around if he took Ripped Fuel because he didn't take the 2nd test to determine what he took people can determine their own conclusions. There is a thread on here which goes over both arguments quite well.

:rofl

Its funny you say that because my best friend is from Pensacola.. We always had a huge sports rivalry between us, and I believe Roy Jones was pretty much the only one both of us were fans of..

Whenever we would watch a fight together I had to look at that sh*t eating grin on his face everytime Roy mentioned Pensacola after a fight.


I know this is a little off topic, but the other day (I forgot what thread it was) Bulldog/Attbery were quoting each other carrying on a conversation.:rofl

Weird old coot.:nut


I think learning that Eubank was KTFO by someone that thought Calzaghe hit too hard drove him over the edge.

 

"Taking more than the recommended amount will not improve results and may cause adverse reactions listed in the warning."


Proof it's not a performance enhancer

 

Andro....no. No way in hell andro provides an out of compliance ratio on the T/E test. CIR test can catch it I'm sure. Regardless andro is garbage and an ineffective ped. It converts more readily to estrogen once in the body, much much moreso than the target hormonal conversion to testosterone. And the amount of free testosterone it does convert to is beyond miniscule. It literally is useless junk that did not do as advertised. It was a good cover story when legal though, but if it actually worked it would still be available on the black market like any other pro-hormone that was banned.s

 

I actually like most of his posts and enjoy his insight on breaking down fights. He knows way more about boxing than me.

I just find him to be pretty weird.. And like to give him sh*t.:rofl

He has some serious man love for Eubank, that far exceeds my love for Roy.

 

It was more of a fat burner if anything correct ?

 

Andro was touted as a testosterone precursor...a pro hormone. Aiding the addition of muscle mass and strength. It's affinity for converting to estrogen much much much more than useable testosterone is why it was ineffective for any use at all besides getting bloated with water and possibly formig gyno. Ripped fuel as it was most commonly sold, was a stimulant and mild thermogenic, used prior to physical exertion......helped focus, gave a stimulant jump in energy, and could aid in fat burning. I dont remember a ripped fuel version that contained andro....and we used to pop that stuff like candy during games (what seems like a lifetime ago).

 

You know your stuff on roids... Did you study about them? Have you ever roided? If you don't mind me asking of course.:good

 

Roy Jones was a counter-puncher.

So obviously, he had at least SOME understanding of the fundamentals.

 

Of course he did. I honestly think if his chin had held up better he could have remained relevant longer.
