Did Roy Jones do weights

where is the source 4 this, If RJJ tested positive for some ban steroid, how come he was never banned from boxing like James toney is now. How come n1 heard of this. If RJ tested positive for steroids the whole world would have known about it.

 

I dont know, I remember hearing he did. Dont remember hearing a credible source so it may just be a rumor. Anyone else have any info???

 

There was a postive test floating around, it was an iregular Nandralone reading. I can't remember exactly but it may have been from the Hall fight.

There were some articles in regarsd to it but for some reason it wasn't taken very far. It was certainly never dissproved, but unless demanded why would Jones bother refuting such a test?

I think it's unlikley Jones ever juiced before his trip to heavyweight, however I am very suspicious about the weight he put on getting to heavyweight.

Considering his natural frame, the amount of cardio he had to do constantly whilst training, the short period of time in which he grew, anyone in the know would be extremely sceptical of his "amazing" gains.

 

Yup.

 

Yup, every boxer who isn't a flabby blob does 'roids. Including Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott, Floyd Patterson, Sonny Liston... nobody gets ripped muscles naturally through genetics or simply working their asses off in the gym.

 

steroids existed in the 50's and 60's? :huh:-(

 

what

the

****?!

yikes:admin

 

so there it is, he's Giambi with boxing gloves. Cheating *******.
If youre gonna roid up, shouldnt you at least be an entertaing offensive fighter?!?!?!

 

sarcasm:think

 

I'm serious.

 

Oh, I was being flippant.

But, tell ya tha truth, I dunno about the availability of steroids to athletes then. Steroids were developed around the 1930s, I think. It was pretty well known they were used by Soviet weightlifters. But I'm not sure whether they were considered to be useful for athletes whose sports did not primarily involve strength.

Anyway, steroids back then weren't very sophisticated and side effects showed up quickly. Ezzard Charles, Jersey Joe, Patterson and others demonstrated the kind of good health and longevity that heavy steroid use probably would have destroyed.

 

Steroids, genetics, and weight training all contributed to Jones Jr.'s physique. Regardless of the steroids he was still a genetic freak.

 

I dont think RJJ did roids to get up to heavyweight. Shilestone helped him add weight. The same thing he did for Spinks, Hopkins, Bol, and Oz Smith. So all those guys had spectular gains, does that mean that all did roids as well?

C'mon you can add about 1 pound a week without doing steroids.

 

someone said the same thing on another thread to me earlier about roy taking roids. they actually sent me a link from boxing scene saying that he was busted for something. the link said that roy admitted to taking ripped fuel which is over the counter. there was no other investigation into it. i would like to believe that's all roy did.

 

As a Roy fan, I have to admit it's likely he did them at least at the beginning of this decade. I'd guess that around 2000, when he hit his 30s and became distracted by a bunch of non-boxing B.S., that's when he started diving in.

But as long as he didn't touch them when he was at 168, I'm OK with it. I'd just hate to think he was illegal in some way, because Jones at SMW was an ungodly force.
