    Toney tested positive for steroids you tit.

    The physical wear is one thing, but I am talking about basic physical conditioning and being a professional. Also, just flat out age; you can argue Toney's years have been harder than Couture's, but if Couture was 10 years younger it would be another issue. It just crosses one more excuse off the list.

    And? That was for his fight with Ruiz which was years ago. Randy's STILL on hormone replacement. Explains he's big ass head.

    HRT is legal and approved by the NSAC.

    You really believe Toney only cheated and took steroids one time?

    :lol: That would be a ****ish move. What is the contract for Toney anyways, how many fights? Can't see it being for many bouts. In fact I've always been thinking of this fight as a sort of one off for James Toney. I haven't even bothered thinking of what happens after.

    I couldnt care less if he's been on them he's entire career. Judging by he's physique he probably used them for rehab.

    Either way hormones give you an advantage, The fact that Couture is on them "legally" is academic. 47 year olds dont go up in weight and look better at 220 than they did at 205 with ripped abs to boot. Its pretty clear the HRT gives him an advantage over other guys he's age.

    Dana's not dumb. He'll write some small print in there somewhere that ensures he stays there until he looses. No way this is a one and done if Toney wins.

    So you don't care about one guys, just the others? Even though one guy was proven to be cheating, and the other not?

    The point is Toney is a fat lazy **** compared to Couture.

    Agreed. He's signed Toney to 5 or 6 fights hasn't he.

    He likely got the usual contract; 3 fights with a company option to terminate after each loss.

    Yeah definitely. Hopefully it's the minimum. I don't think I could bare to see Toney in the cage more than a couple of times. In fact once is probably enough.:scaredas:

    If that was in the Olympics it wouldnt be legal. The fact that NSAC are willing to sanction it makes them idiots. HRT or Test replacement is the equivlanet of doping in ANY sane world. The fact that Randy was able to circumvent that via a loophole doesnt all of a sudden make him the superior athlete.

    Granted Randy keeps himself in great shape and is a gym rat. But the HRT is clearly a good reason for this an a positive indicator as to his conditioning for a 47 year old.

    It's not the Olympics though is it? Would taking steroids for "rehab" be legal in the olympics?

    You don't even know the extent or even existence of Randy's HRT for an absolute fact; its almost certainly happened, but how much and when you don't know.

    Randy would be in better shape than Toney Regardless.

    Thats not the ****ing point though is you peenarse! :roll: World Anti doping says its illegal. NSAC says its legal. Il take Olympic rules on doping rules over NSAC ANY day of the week. FACT is he is on hormones which allows for his conditioning to be better. Surely even a semantic nerk like you can agree on that.
