    **** off man. RIPPED ****ING FUEL! You could buy it anywhere. I'm pretty sure Jones didn't know it was a banned substance.

    You know a cup of coffee can get you disqualified in the Olympics right? People have taken subistance that they did not know had banned substances in it and have had positive test results. This whole story about RJJ is being blown out of proportion especially if you think to yourself that this was an over the counter product and not a controlled substance. A big red herring who just want to hate on RJJ . . . who I never, ever liked but did respect and can admit how great he was[/quote]
    Yeah, there have been such instances with cofee. in the past. Caffeine is not currently a banned substance though.

    "People have taken subistance that they did not know had banned "

    It is and always has been the athletes responsiblity to make sure, that the substances he/she takes is legal. Which Roy at the very least didnt.

    he beat John Ruiz. Not legit. Roy was good but Lennox was champion then and he didn't fight him. He beat the guy who had no power and who he was faster than. Most guy never touched Roy in a fight, so how was Ruiz going to?

    although he brought excitement and entertainment to the lower weight fighters...naseem hamed was rather overrated. his speed and punching power was pure breathtaking but his technique was downright ugly. in his first real competition, MAB embarrassed him.

    Point one, is that it was at one point . . . coffee

    Point two, it was legal but a component within an over the counter product was banned. Do you read the label of all the products you take?
    Its not like he had loaded gloves and claimed that he did not notice the difference . . .lol.

    oh yeah, ******* Margocheato was/is overrated . . . especially when the say PBF was afraid of him . . . lol!

    Of course Jones is gonna say it was an over the counter product, what was he supposed to tell the IBF he was using horse steriods, and considering that he was 6x over the limit, that should tell everyone he was doing roids big time, not no damn over the counter product, and obviously lying about taking ripped fuel.

    No it doesn't it contains Ephedrine, Twinlab produced an androdiol product. Andro supplements are technically not steroids, they are pre-cursors, weaker and not as effective

    Yes because we all know that unknowingly taking a LEGAL substance that is banned ONLY in the IBF is the same thing as people knowingly taking illegal PED's that are banned pretty much everywhere.:patsch

    I really can't tell if some of are really that stupid or simply grasping at straws in a pathetic attempt to jusitfy your hatred of a specific fighter.

    Jones was a ATG and a first ballot hall of hamer, but this "over the counter" BS needs to stop. These shady companies back then were selling full blown roids in stores using legal loopholes. You used to be able to buy superdrol/mdrol in a damn GNC and that **** gave you bigger gains in a month than stacking test and dbol could. People involved in training a world class boxer knew that **** was roids regardless of if the general public knew it or not.

    P-plex/hdrol/m1t/etc etc look it up

    The more I watch him fight the more I feel he might be the best ever h2h, by the time I became a boxing fan Jones was struggling with tarver in the first fight so I missed his prime. But when looking back trough his fights the man seems amazing and capable of everything, maybe im overrating him h2h but underrating him when ranking him compared to others im not 100% sure yet.
