Jones was on the Juice

So you buy the line that he took an illegal, over the counter supplement that was circulated by his own team. Cool. I mean its not like every single fighter who ever fails a drug test comes out with some bull**** like this to mitigate their cheating. I'm sure you believe that Lamont Peterson genuinely forgot he had those testosterone pellets in his ass. I'm also sure that you'd be just as willing to accept it if Pacquiao failed a test in his next fight and then claimed that he too had only taken an over the counter supplement.

I'm not sure what one fighter failing a test two years later has to do with Jones being clean. Unless you're of the belief that every fighter who has ever cheated in boxing has failed a drug test? And unless you know better than the leading PED experts who believe that beating all year round testing is easy, let alone boxing's awful testing?

The bottom line is Jones failed a test, his team (as is the norm when people fail tests) circulated some **** about taking a legal over the counter supplement and his naive fan boys still lap up this warm, steamy bull**** to this day.

Also, I'm not sure what Joe Calzaghe has to do with this considering I never mentioned him. But to answer your question, I would rather get busted for having a small amount of a recreational drug in my pocket (that the consumption of which isn't harming anyone but myself) in my retirement than to fail a drug test for steroids to make me stronger and faster to compete in an already potentially deadly sport, and then pay an attorney to release a lie to excuse it. But each to their own I guess.

 

This is an interview with Indiana's commissioner of boxing explaining the issue. He even makes it clear that the whole 'ripped fuel' story the was reported in the media (such as the link you posted above) came from Jones' attorney, but I guess you guys know more than him.

To be honest, I don't even expect you guys to even read the interview below. I'm pretty sure you'll just carry on burying your head in the sand and accepting the story put out by Jones' attorney (which is the exact same story used by countless other athletes who get caught red handed, accusing people of being a 'Jones h8er' for talking about this, or trying to deflect the conversation onto other fighters who have nothing to do with this.

 

In a related note- does anyone know why Peterson's win over Khan hasn't been set as an NC yet??

 

yes, i've read the interview and it's been posted plenty of times on these boards. it doesn't change any of the facts i listed before. jones' people did say that the positive test was from ripped fuel but no one ever mentioned andro. that was reported by espn, boxing monthly and a few other sites. again, the jones accusers on this site refused to acknowledge the reports of andro because it was legal to buy at that time.

the calzaghe reference was nothing more than a shot at his fans. you had to change my question to come up with the answer you wanted. typical.

 

Jones's attorney said he took ripped fuel, who also make andro which must have contaminated it. You're just recycling his attorney's story. If you believe that, fine. But I assume you'll also believe every single person who fails a test and then releases some bull**** story after.

 

seriously are people like you that dumb? what are you going to take away 25 years of career fights when he never tested positive once? based on speculation and accusations? this society has turned into a bunch of crying little girls who cry about everything being unfair. oh boo ****ing hoo
:|

 

What the actual f are you talking about?

 

the idiot thread starter asking to remove over 50 wins because he assumed jones has been doping since he was in high school. you having trouble figuring that out?
what test did he fail?

 

bull**** again. jones' attorney never said anything about andro. i'm not recycling anything. i'm just going by what was reported. facts are tough to come by for you.

if jones were british and white i'm sure your argument would change.

 

Yep, and the facts are he failed a drug test for steroids.

Oh, **** off you imbecile. How old are you? Trying to insinuate I'm nationalistic and racist because I don't like drug cheats. Playing the race card, the last refuge of the desperate fanboy.

Idiot.

 

You mean apart from the drug test after the Hall fight?

 

yet, if Jones was british, it would be a different story here

 

So what you're saying is that if Roy Jones Jr was British I would join you guys in believing his excuse for cheating? Any evidence of something I've said on here regarding doping that you can back this up with?

Pretty sad state of affairs for the sport when you can't talk about a fighter failing a drugs test without some insecure person accusing you of being motivated by nationality.

 

my point exactly

that's one fact, not all the facts. sorry for upsetting you. i'm sure you're a nice guy. just understand you got took to school on this topic.

 

it's because you choose not to recognize certain facts. you just pick the ones you like. jones reportedly taking andro (which is considered an anabolic steroid, see wada) doesn't fit your view.

btw, why would espn report that hall also tested positive for andro? he never gave any reason why he must have tested positive. common sense would say that espn had confirmation on what the substance was. but hey, common sense on here....
