    :huhWhich trainer or trainers have had more fighters linked to steroid use than "Freddie" Roach?????? His first world champion was Virgil Hill, whom he took over from his own former trainer, Eddie Futch. Hill tested positive for roids/doping.....

    ...Roach said one of his former fighters, Fortune, was known to have used PEDs and James Toney twice tested positive for steroids, once when he was working with Roach.

    “I won’t say I didn’t know,” said Roach, referring to Toney. “I never asked him, though. I never had a conversation. I could see his body structure had signs, his traps and stuff. He was either lifting a lot of weight or he was on (something).............Roach knew about Toneys steroid use and still trained him and let him get in the ring, Roach is not such a nice guy as everyone thinks is he?

    “… I think I had one other fighter on steroids also, Fortune. … I know he’d been there before.”

    Roach has trained numerous fighters accused of PED/Steroid usage....Toney, Fortune, Hill, Pacquiao and now Chavez jr.........what trainer has had more fighters linked to steroid use than Freddie Roach?

    Freddie Roach is known to be one of the best trainers, and he trains a lot of guys... Especially after his success with Pac.
    Of course some guys are gonna be on the juice, and some aren't. I doubt many trainers like McGirt, Roach, Mayweather, Steward, etc are demanding these guys be on the stuff. Not impossible, but I don't think a highly regarder trainer with a whole lot to lose with take the chance.

    You should know what steroid is before you want to discuss them.

    That's a very good question.. Roach is as dirty as his name implies and I think he's part of an "Axis Of Evil" in boxing which is completed by Arum and Ariza... u could probably add King-Roider himself, AKA manny pacquiao and u would have the "Evil square" or "Evil Quartet."

    Nobody, he is the one to go to when u r looking for this kind of "help.""Why do u think Chavez jr. ended with him when his daddy was looking for a trainer? Daddy knew his sonny would NEVER make it too far without some xtra li'l help... BTW, it IS working for them!!!
