    Flat out wrong, it was banned by the IBF and the fight against Richard Hall had been sanctioned by the IBF.

    no need for profanity dude. its not that serious b. Relax I asked 4 a source and you gave me a source. Fair enough. Relax dogs.

    And anyway he according to this he took an over the counter drug that he aparently didnt kno it was a steroid until they alerted him it was. And he stopped taking it for his next to fights, which he won

    "Roy Jones would submit the results to more drug tests to Indiana. One fight was in Louisiana and those results were negative. And the other was in California, and those results were negative. "

    So to say he was a cheater isnt right. If he is taking some kind of drug that not known to him or his camp as an anabolic steroid you cant fault him 4 that.

    People need to realize a majority of fighters do some form of illegal supplementation. RJJ busted his balls in the gym to be as great as he was. The juice helped as he fought at higher weight levels, but I still give him his props. I thinks it's sad though that he's still fighting. That KO loss to Johnson was brutal.

    come on man, this whole "I didnt know I was taking banned drugs" is BS. . . Im a Vargas fan but the dude roided up for the DLH fight and deserved his punishment. RJJ seemed to get off pretty easy - especially from the media for some odd reason.

    and thats why I believe that he didnt know honestly. And the media was kind of aware of it. B/c at that time Rj was on top of the world, if this was a delibater thing. I think they would have ran with this. Come on now, who would know that a supplement you were buying over the counter would have been an anabolic steroid?
    And Its porven that he did take a steroid so i cant argue with you there. According to the article he did take a steroid. SO it is wat it is

    Obvioulsy you are a big RR fan and the fact that he took steroids is more than you can handle.

    He tested positive for Nandrolone. Nandrolone is not a steroid that is taken oraly. It does not have the ablity to survive "first pass" on the liver. So, unless RR was buying "over the counter" injectable supplements its not very likely he did anything unknowingly.

    I guess you would also argue that it was just by chance that he unknowingly took a steroid that is known for its ability to aid in recuperation and an increase in red blood cell production.

    Roy Jones took steroids this is a fact that has been verfied and never denied by Roy.

    Unless the several sources Ive read are wrong and Roy just forgot to take legal action against them to have them shut down or sue them for defamation, I believe he took them.

    Fighters using no weights are stupid, but some fighters are doing to much weights or they do it wrong. Others are using steroids as well. Did Roy using steroids? Yes, we know it for a FACT!! Does Toney use steroids?? Yes, we know it for a FACT!! Does Holyfield use steroids?? NO! Cause we dont know it for a FACT!!

    It was not banned by any other bodies that are controlling usage of steroids and other things, and prearing lists of substances that should be banned. FDA banned dietary supplements containing ephedra only in April 2004 (source), then it was appealed and the final ruling was only in May this year. I do not think IBF introduced a ban for ephedra on it's own in 2000 while nobody else did this.
    Androstenedione and other prohormones were added to the list of banned substances (and also, the definition of 'anabolic steroid' was amended to include prohormones too) by Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 in March 2004. It was not on the list before then and was not banned.

    Its not more than I can handle. If he did them he did them, im just a fan at the end of the day he is going to ahve to live his life. I dont kno much about this supplement thing or steroid names or wateva. And according to this article http://www.boxinginsider.net/news/stories/61774588.php It says he was buyin an "over the counter" supplement called ripped fuel, which is taken orally

    Yep, pretty much everyone in boxing history has been on BALCO and then didn't have enough money for it anymore at 34-35 years and older, everyone didn't look quite the same as younger version of themselves. Starting from Jack Broughton, the father of boxing, not looking like himself against Jack Slack.
