    Some people on here want to brush over RJJ's proven cheating.

    That was the time he got caught, he was not ( no boxers are ) always tested when he fought. But he could not 'accidentally' take it. Cheating is cheating in my book.

    8 years ago is when he got caught. How often has he not been caught ?

    Or is it because it was RJJ so its ok ?

    They took an A & B urine sample, the B Sample did not test positive, meaning he didnt fail a drugs test. Plus wehat evidence do you have he took Andro? BEcause that is technically a steroid but it barely increases performance at all

    No, but he was fighting for their belts when he supposedly "failed" the test. How can you "fail" a test when the substance you "fail" by wasn't even banned by these organisations. Please, if you are going to libel someone ensure that you are on a firm footing first

    Actually he failed under the IBF rules. Its a well known story, and for it to be libel it has to be a lie, he failed the test. He used a performance enhancing drug. It was banned. So where is the libel ? Exactly there is none

    I am not a yank, I just want to see some decent debate and discussion on boxing in this forum instead of reading crap posted from idiots like you.
