Did Roy Jones become Russian for the PEDs the athletes are doing over there?

Wrong. It's the get out of jail card for fanboys of cheats. Not all athletes are like Jones. Many of them would rather lose than cheat to win.

 

Are you American? :think

 

There are different cultures in the world. Take for example here in Britain. We utterly despise cheating. Footballer Rio Ferdiand failed to turn up for a drug test (he took it the next day) and was given an 8 month ban. Most people you speak to in Britain will agree that was far to lenient.

In the likes of the USA, when a boxer tests positive for roids, nothing happens to them, more than a slap on the wrist. And you don't see many of the posters on here that bothered as they have been brought up in a different culture where it's not really that bad as long as you win.

If you watch interviews with someone like Froch, it's easy to tell when he's telling porkies (see most of the build up to the Groves fight), then listen to him when he talks about juicing. He just doesn't turn a good actor on because he's talking about PEDs.

The UK's performances in the Olympics since WADA came in has seen us rise from 36th in the medal table to 3rd. We have gone from never winning in cycling to winning all the time post PED scandal, and in boxing we have as many world champions as USA now PED testing has gotten stricter. That is because most UK athletes are in a culture where cheating is a huge taboo.

Even convicted cheats very rarely use the term 'everyone is at it' because they know it's not true. There are different mentalities to cheating and Jones is very pro cheating. Others are not.
