    He and Richard Hall both took ripped fuel and failed their post fight test. He basically took a fat burner.

    They failed for taking Andro, a prohormone that was legal at the time but banned by the athletic commision. Roy stated he took ripped fuel which wasnt supposed to have Andro in it but they did find a lot of supplements even after the ban still had andro in them off label so its entirely plausible.

    Toney and Vargas both tested positive for actual steroids.


    Tyson tested positive for marijuana, I think it was after the golota fight so his win was changed to a NC.


    Tyson had a very good point in his documentary, they completely ****ed him over, he had to pay a $100,000 fine for testing positive for marijuana which is absolutely ludicris when James Toney only paid a $10,000 fine for testing positive for steroids.

    Contrary to what many seem to think, Shane Mosley has never failed a drug test, but did admit to having used EPO for his rematch with Oscar De La Hoya in 2003.

    Tommy Morrison has also admitted to having used steroids during his career.

    Other fighters who failed post-fight drug tests have been:

    Frans Botha
    Tony Tubbs
    Mike Tyson
    Chad Dawson
    Ali Funeka
    James Toney (twice)
    Stevie Johnston
    Michael Trabant
    Orlando Salido
    Roy Jones
    Richard Hall
    Fernando Vargas
    Timo Hoffman
    Vitali Klitschko (as amateur)
    Danny Batchelder
    Pernell Whitaker
    Mariano Carrera
    Joey Gilbert
    Greg Haugen
    Shannon Briggs

    Plus plenty more I can't think of at the moment.
