    Agreed. Like the original post says "if they're found to have attempted to use plaster to make Margarito's fists into hardened casts"

    Then ban them for life.

    Why do you say that?
    Do you feel it is not an isolated incicdent and could be possibly more widespread?

    How could this be tragic for the sport?? I can't find any reasoning under that kind of statement!! Only you and the so-called UliUli guy would make such a ludicrous comment!1

    Like Roach has any room to speak, Roach is and was well aware of James Toneys long time Steroid abuse, that mother ****er was there, when James had a bit of Roid rage in the gym against Terry Smith, in which he dropped smith and continued to beat on him, and Freddys going to act like he follows the rules.

    Not in my eyes I was there kid, hell even Macka Foley would talk about Toneys steroid use, even ******e Fortune, everybody who has trained at Wildcard while Toney was there was aware that Toney used Roids.

    even if you were there its still speculation. And assuming that Roach knew Toney was taking roids is even more. And even if Roach had his doubts, which is not a given, unless he administered them or asked them to be administered himself, then he is not cheating.

    What do you expect him to do? Accuse his fighter of taking an illegal substance without proof? talk about building trust.

    No! However he cant sit here and say oh so and so should be banned for knowingly cheating, when he knows Toney uses roids and still goes through with prapairing Toney for the fight and working the corner during the fight, in other words he should remove himself from the situation if he is so against cheating.

    like I said until you have proof its just speculation. And since Roach was not personally involved in giving Toney roids and was probably never told then there is no way he can make the conclusion that the guy is cheating. You have to have confidence in your guy or else you can't train him properly

    Get the **** out of here with that ****, Roach was well aware of Toney using roids, he should have kicked Toneys ass to the curb since he wants to keep this image of being a clean trainer. its not speculation when Toney tested positive twice

    Exactly if....... because nothing has been proven yet and it's all speculation. But if team Margarito is found to be guilty then they absolutely deserve to be harshly penalized. I for one do not support a life long ban but the consequence should definitely be severe and they should be made an example of and serve as a warning to others boxers.
