Did Roy Jones do weights

He failed a test.....against Richard Hall. Only reason its not more talked about is because Hall tested positive too.

Heres the link...

Listen, I love Jones. One of my alltime favs. But he did juice up and got caught.

So to answer the original question, its a little of all three....genetics, incredible weight training regimine and roids.

:good

 

Wow that was always my take on it.

 

juice...

 

Well put.

Superman became Clark Kent, fell down, went 'boom.'

 

he lookes like he did cause of roids

 

My take on this as well...what would have been the point of him juicing when he was barely making 160, and perfectly fit into 168? He the needed mass at 175/HW though.

 

sold his soul to satan?

 

thats a load of anabolics.

 

It's been discussed before.
1) The thing he took (Ripped Fuel) was not banned back then. And it was not an anabolic steroid.
2) There's only test A, to be proven it requires test B.
3) There's also a version about andro, but it also wasn't banned substance back then, it only got included in more recent Act about banned substances.

 

So your stupid enough to beleive RIPPED FUEL ( a thermogenic mind you ) gave him 7 times his normal test levels ? he was juiced and on alot of JUICE for the RUIZ affair !:deal

 

Amount of what, that question remained unanswered. What were the test for, what substances?

He admitted to taking Ripped Fuel. He never admitted to taking any steroids. Ripped Fuel is not a steroid, and according to federal researches it doesn't give any advantages other than allowing to cut weight.

 

Massive work ethic,
very good genetics..

One of the best boxers i ever saw in his prime.

 

your all quick to label holyfield a cheat on what is pretty idicting if totally unproven evidence.....yet here is evidence and the fighters own admission that he took steroids, yet no one is labeling him a cheat...great genetics, great work ethic blah blah blah...lets have a level playin field here guys....

 

1) There's no such thing as testing for steroids in general, you are looking for traces that this or that group of steroids leave in man's organism (blood or urine).
2) The author of the letter openly admitted to knowing next to nothing about steroids, she was asked to write a letter and she did, she clearly doesn't have any idea that there are banned substances out there that are not steroids.

From TwinLab site:

It is not intended to build muscle mass. The one he took was most probably with Ephedra (which was not banned back then). Federal-sponsored labs that studied Ephedra-based stuff found no evidence that it gives any advantages other than quicker loss of weight, no endurance enhancement, no muscle-building improvement, nothing.

For Ruiz fight he used Mackie Shilstone's help (his methods are completely legal and are explained at his site), to cut weight for Tarver I he did it without Shilstone's help, the hard way, which he regreted doing.

 

Genetics. His aesthetics are genetics. He says he didn't do weights until heavyweight.
