Boxrec says that Briggs tested for illegal substances

  1. I can't believe marijuana would be considered a performance enhancing drug.

    That **** makes me not want to do anything. I have no energy for activities.

    Didn't a snowboarder get to keep his olympic gold medal after testing positive for weed?

    It's illegal yes, but performance enhancing no.

    They should get extra kudos for performing under the influence.

    Tim Spoon told that same story to the WBA in 1986 and they let him retain the title based on the fact that he grant Tony Blubbs a rematch....... Tim Spoon then went on to fight Franky Bruno in London and was scheduled to close out '86 against Tony Blubbs, but Blubbs pulled-out cuz of illness or some ****, and that allowed Bones Smith to step in and whack-out Spoon on HBO...........

    Testing + for weed is so lame and just petty crap........ When will the USA wake up and just legalize the weed, spice, herb, plant, etc.????

    Yeah, I think you and me were two of the last guys left who thought Briggs could be a very competative fight with Wlad.

    Briggs from quite a time looks like someone (over)using roids. On the other hand, as he used to have athma issues, some technically illegal substance could be in his medicaments. I'm quite sure he will use this excuse (I think Toney said the same) if it is possible.

    thing about weed is..it aint helping you fight...christ it mellows you...it isnt really good for your longs taking in oxygen...at least while your high its going to slow down your reflexes..and their may even be some residual negative effects on reflexes and fine motor skills....if i was a trainer..i would definitly be pissed if my fighter was smoking weed....

    ****ing hell, if it turns out to be weed then Briggs won the fight perfectly legitimately in my opnion. It would be like ruling all of Arreola's fights no-contests because he drinks

    :deal

    :patsch:patsch

    Really ,, The test on Rjj was inconclusive, why because they didn't what they were testing for and didn't know what was in his system ..
    Mosley was not even caught buy the standard drug testing of boxing.
    Vargas was caught only because he dame near over dosed on the ****.

    The boxing commission testing is a joke, and everyone knows it. some of you fanatics know this also but are defending the weak method of testing because of a certain fighter has pass this test with no problem.

    what does weed give to you? I mean what it gives to your performance!?

    Isn't it like you fight drunk? can you get suspended for being drunk on fight night? :D
