    Furosemide or "lasix" is a diuretic not a steroid. It's commonly administered for kidney problems to stimulate urination. Wouldn't surprise me if he was taking it to cut weight more rapidly doesn't necessarily mean he was juicing, fellas.

    it was obvious, from the way Jones looked fight night, that he had weight issues, but nevertheless, a banned substance is a banned substance, and he should be banned like Wach was

    Why did it take 2 months for the test results to be announced?

    Put Lebedev's life on the line.... disgrace to boxing. Fine him, ban him, strip him.

    I called it back then, Sasha Bakhtin was ringside and he told the press Jones had to be on something to take shots after shots and keep walking Lebedev down like it was nothing.

    You're wrong. That was the best Lebedev had looked that night until he was done throwing the kitchen sink.

    Honestly he looked more like a Klitschko :lol: Povetkin isn't that big himself, Jones looked huge.

    Lebedev has refused testing in the past. RUSADA did the testing on G Jones. No one is surprised that the Russians would do anything for their man to keep their title.

    You can say that again. He's over 6'5 with a huge frame. It's incredible he was once a middleweight.

    Anyway, he looked like a heavyweight in there. For a while I was hoping Vitali himself would challenge Jones to avenge Lebedev, as Vitali certainly wasn't happy watching Lebdev get beat on.

    You googled your info. Masking agents rarely mask PED's in blood testing depending on who is administering these tests.

    Along with some other diuretics, furosemide is also included on the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned drug list due to its alleged use as a masking agent for other drugs
