    What do you think their punishment should be? I still find it shocking that James Toney was exposed as a steroid cheat on multiple occasions and the worst thing that happened was he got a 1 year ban that they reduced to 6 months :patsch, so how do you think a multiple offender like Toney or anyone else guilty of such an offense should be treated?

    I think anyone who tests positive for more than once should be barred from boxing.

    The punishment needs to be doled by the association of boxing commisions. the state athletic commissions handle the problems but do it on different levels of severity. That's why California just suspends people but lets them appeal it and cut the time in half if you pop for roids.

    something like the nfl, but boxing is different. so times would have to be different. First a 6 month suspension, then a 2 year suspension and then finally banned but how do you ban someone when all these countries have different rules.

    Kick them out of America. That's where the majority of important boxing events are hosted.

    For how long?

    I swear a German TV company tests the boxers as part of their contract, if they fail the network refuse to show them. Thats probably the best way, just a blanket ban on anyone who has tested positive.

    It's funny that roy jones tests positive for roids and literally nothing happened to him.

    James Toney wasn't on steroids that make you muscular (OBVIOUSLY, HE IS A ****ING FATASS AND WAS A FAT **** WHEN HE GOT THE HW BELT). He was on medication with steroids that were helping with his surgery recovery. There are so many different kinds of steroids, and most of them don't have to do with getting all jacked.
