That dude obviously jumped the gun! I admit nobody questioned it from Pac Team for obvious reason. It was only a comment coming from Conte, that he had to announce himself to take the test. If you people have any sense left in you, this guy is obviously is bluffing. Take the test!
You posted in this thread, then made a new one saying the same thing?? There should be a thread creation limit on this site, I swear. atsch
It was a video put up. Articles as well.. ALL have been taken down.... WHY? Also he was on stanozolol, which is an anabolic steroid... Highly doubt you'll find that interview, or the original article for that. It's quoted all over the web, but they've done a good cleanup job... Anything pointing to steroids in the Pac camp with interviews/quotes from his own team have been taken down. All the interviews Roach did stating why he's taken certain fights for Pac recently due to how bad the opponent has looked and why he wouldn't take certain fights for Pac have been taken down as well.
Wow......have you guys read over a Philboxing.....There was a conference call with a group of reporters around Arum, Roach, Ariza, Pacquiao..... Pacquiao had no comment on Marquez' conditioning coach. Pacquiao was asked again on the issue and Bob Arum got angry. Arum went as far as to defend Marquez' right to chose any coach he wished. Arum said, "Peds are in the past in boxing, coaches today, even those who've used PED methods in the past dont need to use them today, as they can do it all through legal supplements." Jesus Chirst.....:shock:Arum said that there are legal supplements fighters can use today that are just as good as steroids. at team Pacquiao being muzzled and frazzled in this conference call. Reporters asking serious and pertinent questions and Bob Arum dismissing it by by making insinuations that Athletes today dont need and dont take steroids.atsch ......and how could team Pacquiao make reference or point to distaste that Marquez hired a coach that in the past was affiliated with transporting PED's. How could they when their own fighter is a top dog PED user and everyone with a brain knows it.:deal Team Pacquiao being MUM on the issue say's it all my friends!deal:deal
So you're telling me there is a video and articles that no longer exist that shows Freddie stating he knew about James using roids? Lol....and its mysteriously vanished off the web?:rofl And no......Toney tested positive for "Nandrolone". Nothing is completely removed from the net.... Your struggling kid.
James Toney's reign as a heavyweight champion could be a brief one after a positive drug test following his WBA title fight with John Ruiz. Toney violated the illegal substance policy of the New York State Athletic Commission, which Wednesday asked that Toney's WBA title victory over Ruiz be changed to a no-decision as the result of a positive drug test. The commission also suspended Toney for 90 days, retroactive the April 30, and ordered him to pay a $10,000 fine. He must submit himself for drug testing. In a statement issued Wednesday, Toney's co-promoter admits the boxer's tests reflected the steroid Nandrolone. But Toney's camp said that medicine used to help Toney heal following bicep and tricep surgeries helped create the steroid, thus triggering the positive test. "Being accused of taking performance enchancing substances is an insult to me. I don't do drugs period," Toney said in the statement. "I've never used any illegal substances to prepare myself for a fight." In the statement, Toney co-promoter Dan Goossen said: "Toney received medical treatment for recovery from his biceps and triceps surgery last year. His doctor has stated that the combination of medications used to control the inflammation and tissue growth caused the positive test result. This is further supported, since the body, in combination with the medications, naturally create the form of substance ("Nandrolone") reflected in the test results." New York athletic commission chairman Ron Scott Stevens made the request Wednesday to Fight Fax, which handles an official national list of suspensions for boxers. On Wednesday, Stevens told ESPN.com that Toney can file an appeal. Upon notice of his suspension, Toney has 30 days to request a hearing and then prepare to present his case for repeal of the penalty. Stevens refused to identify the banned substance. Under New York rules, the result of the fight would be changed to a no contest if a second test returned positive. If Toney tested positive, he could be stripped of his title by the WBA. Under WBA regulations, the title would be given back to Ruiz, who lost the 12-round decision to Toney on April 30 in New York. In the Toney camp statement, Goossen said: "It would be unjust for the sport to reprimand a fighter who was under a doctor's care and direction many months before in healing a career threatening injury." Ruiz announced his retirement after losing a 12-round unanimous decision to Toney at Madison Square Garden, but on Monday said he wasn't going to retire after all and would fight again. Toney became just the third former middleweight champion to win a piece of the heavyweight title when he won the decision over Ruiz. The 5-foot-9 Toney weighed 232 pounds for the fight. According to the WBA's "World Championship Regulations" rule 18.23-4, "If the challenger wins the championship fight and his antidrug test is positive, and the losing champion has a negative result, then the champion shall retain his title in spite of the loss, and the challenger shall be disqualified and shall not box for the title from the World Boxing Association during the next two years, and only after presentation of medical evidence that he has been rehabilitated." Some states recently began testing fighters for steroids, mostly in title fights, but only one other fighter of note has tested positive. That was Fernando Vargas, who was fined $100,000 and suspended for nine months following his loss to Oscar De La Hoya in September 2002. Unlike Toney, whose body was soft and had visible fat, Vargas was muscular and chiseled in his fight with De La Hoya. Toney is one of four fighters who own various pieces of the heavyweight title. Ruiz attorney Tony Cardinale said he had not been notified of any irregularity by the New York commission. Ruiz was in surgery on Tuesday to repair his broken nose, which was injured in the fight with Toney. "Our position is, if it's true, shame on James Toney," Cardinale said. "If it is true, it's the only way he could have beaten Johnny. At some point they have to notify us." "If it's true, then the injured party is John Ruiz and he deserves to know as soon as anyone else does." Cardinale said Ruiz's un-retirement had nothing to do with the steroid accusations against Toney. "Believe it or not, the two things are not connected," he said. "We announced [coming out of retirement] on Monday and the next thing I am getting calls about Toney testing positive. I called Ron Stevens and he said, 'You'll hear something by the end of the week.' " Ruiz, 33, spent nine days in retirement before announcing a comeback. "My emotional decision, coming right after losing a fight I felt I won, was premature," Ruiz said in a statement. "I was tired of all the criticism and felt everybody was against me. After reviewing the tape and talking it over with my advisors, I decided that I don't want to go out that way. If they want me out of the sport, they're going to have to knock me out. I'm back." Ruiz is a two-time title holder and the only Latino to win a piece of the heavyweight title. The win allowed Toney, 36, to become just the third former middleweight champion to claim a heavyweight belt, joining Bob Fitzsimmons (1897) and Roy Jones Jr. (2003). Several other prominent fighters have tested positive for banned substances, including steroids. The most recent big-name fighter to test positive for steroids was Fernando Vargas, who tested positive following his 11th-round knockout loss to Oscar De La Hoya in Las Vegas in 2002. Because De La Hoya won to unifying junior middleweight titles, the result stood. But Vargas was fined and suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. In 1995, Francois Botha decisioned Axel Schulz in Germany to win the vacant IBF heavyweight title, but Botha tested positive for steroids after the fight and the result was changed to a no decision. However, the IBF has different rules than the WBA. Botha was stripped and the title was vacated. Michael Moorer later defeated Schulz for the vacant title. Source: AP
yeah a bunch of the stuff that painted team pac in bad light was removed due to copyright infringement. I used to post a Pacquiao failed interview that was taken down, however there was a slightly different version of that failed interview that Pacquiao and his goons could'nt take down, its owned by ESPN and they still have it posted on youtube.:deal On this issue with Toney and Roach. Yes, Roach did know Toney was taking steroids, but of course, the typical athlete excuse afterward will be that he was only taking it to heel from an injury. Roach erred in backing Toney on that issue by saying he knew about it and thought the doctor prescribed steroids would be out of Toney's system. I dont recall the specifics, but I believe there was some kind of controversy with Toney either naming the doctor who prescribed it to him who did'nt exist, or Toney just outright refusing to name the doctor that provided him the steroids. ....in any regards, Toney could have proved the steroids were doctor prescribed but he did'nt want to go that route......and its likely because the PED's he was on were not doctor prescribed.:deal Roach likely just took Toney's word for it that the steroids were doctor prescribed. The problem here with Roach is that he should'nt have tried to defend Toney if Roach himself was'nt sure it was really a doctor that prescibed those steroids to Toney. How dumb can Roach be taking the word of a fat big mouth idiot.
they are not concerned about it. do you think they should have done what you did and have been doing, accusing Pacquiao of cheating without any evidence???
I remember the interview about ****** Fortune being associated with roids after their big falling out. But Fortune was NEVER the strength and conditioning coach for James and Rich distanced himself from JF, saying "thats what he heard".
I wont waist my time with you as everytime I ask you pertinent questions that put your stance on Pacquiao behind the 8 ball, you bail out and run off in a different tangent. I'll just say this, its odd that the day before Ariza was criticizing Marquez getting big in short time span, and all of a sudden today, he's mum and at a lost for words not wanting to comment on Hernandez, Marquez conditioning coach.:nut Usually Roach and Ariza cant be shut up and always poke their noses and opinions where they have no right to be opiniating at........ .....but for some reason today, they dont want to talk about Marquez conditioning coach. I wonder why?
