Did Roy Jones get his amazing speed from abusing PED`s?

Even if it's true it's a very tenuous link

 

Yep. There's much more proven evidence for video games improving reactions / decision than PEDs.

 

Answer: No.
RJJ handspeed has been top notch since the Olympic/amateur days. I think it was called Ripped Fuel. I think he used for the opposite of those like Mosley who took his for endurance.
RJJ, I think strength. He broke Hill's ribs during that time. Bludgeoned Griffin II with just a couple of shots. Never produced that kind of power again.

 

Unless he was doped up during the Olympic games , id say no.

Wit how anti USA the 88 games were he was lucky he wasn't busted for having a can of coke.

 

He was even faster in the amateurs so was he on PEDs then?

 

Amateurs and Olympians take PEDs .

 

The 1988 Olympics featured Florence Griffith Joyner among other US athletes who were juiced to the gills and got away with it.

 

I'm not sure what mental gymnastics you're trying to pull here, so here's what I'm actually saying (yet again):

PED's make elite athletes better.

Roy was both an elite athlete and on PED's.

I don't know why boxing fans are the worst when it comes to acknowledging things that are blatantly obvious to all other sports fans just because they don't like the implications of it.

Roy juiced. So did his contemporaries. If it didn't work, they wouldn't have done it.

That's all there is to it. If you want to trick yourself that a testosterone to epitestosterone ratio of 6:1 doesn't help explosiveness and speed, be my guest.

 

Lol isn't that literally a Test level of atleast 3600 ng/DL? Yet people didn't think he juiced?

 

Might have taken stuff to help in moving up in weight or endurance but there's only so much you can do to improve hand speed/reflexes. And as others have pointed out you have to already have decent speed to begin with otherwise we'd be seeing dozens of roy jones type fighters in almost every weight class.

 

Ok, I guess we'll say everyone has used, no questions asked.
