    It's not that simple. He tested postive for an anabolic steroid. He was six times over the acceptable limit. Jones saying it was Ripped Fuel is Jones' s explanation - it doesn't make it true.

    What evidence is there that Ripped Fuel can cause athletes to test postive six times over the limit?

    You know a cup of coffee can get you disqualified in the Olympics right? People have taken subistance that they did not know had banned substances in it and have had positive test results. This whole story about RJJ is being blown out of proportion especially if you think to yourself that this was an over the counter product and not a controlled substance. A big red herring who just want to hate on RJJ . . . who I never, ever liked but did respect and can admit how great he was[/QUOTE]

    jones (and hall) tested positive for andro which was over the counter in supplements at the time but banned by the ibf.

    The only person who is qualified to comment on the whole thing is the commisioner of Indiana, Jacob Hall. Jacob Hall says the Jones tested positive for anabolic steroids, not Andro.

    The Letter from the IBF

    It also states Anabolic steroids, not Andro

    No way is he overrated. Guy was the most athletically gifted fighter, possibly ever. He looked untouchable in his prime. Only question mark is him being busted for steroids, and whether they played a major role in his dominance

    Damn haters will hate regardless. The OP talks about Eubank and Benn beating RJJ? Is he joking? Although i love them to bits and they produced some classic fights in the UK, both would be beaten quite easily by RJJ.

    I mean, no one including a prime Calz couldn't beat RJJ in his prime. Only recent guy that could is SRL.

    It's a big shame he got caught takig steroids however, with or without them he would still be the P4P number 1 in his era.

    We dont know any of this unfortunately. For all we know, they could have landed a flush shot on his chin and stopped him early. Its all speculation.
