So you're telling me Freddie Roach didn't know he was training a roided James Toney?

    2005 November, Freddie Roach Speaks on James Toney’s Possible Use of Banned Substance:

    "I have not spoken with James lately, but I did hear about ten minutes ago that there were reports on the internet that James may have tested positive for performance enhancing drugs." When asked if he knew of any history with Toney using such drugs Roach replied, "Not at all."

    It's possible. My best friend in college told me 10 years later that he cycled roids twice in high school while he was wrestling. People usually keep these things a secret. I had asked him several times before while in college and he always said no. I guess he felt no more shame after a decade passed.

    He probably had suspicions but no solid reason to believe that it was steroids

    Roach was surely not involved

    For ****s sake, anabolic steroids do NOT automatically get you ripped, cut, huge, swole, etc etc etc etc

    They enhance how fast you recover and can accelerate how fast you build muscle tissue provided you actually LIFT HEAVY WEIGHTS ON A WEEKLY BASIS

    Simply taking steroids wont do much but make you gain equal amounts of muscle and fat.

    And if you are eating like ****, you wont get "cut". A boxer like Toney who eats like crap and then trains halfway at the gym, he'll recover faster from the workouts. His stamina may benefit. But boxing WILL NOT get you big and muscular. Boxers are always lean because boxing is a hypermobile activity and that body adapts to that by leaning down in order to move easier. Thats why boxers dont have big arms or shoulders.

    SO yes, it is possible toney may have been cycling an anabolic hormone, as its very easy to do and there are a multitude of drugs that you take only a few times a week

    Possible, all Toney has to do is not tell him...how else would Roach know?

    Common sense is when someone sticks a plaster in your hands and after 20years in the game thinking its normal for that plaster to be there. Unless he really did close his eyes and numb his hands so he cant feel that extra hard padding...

    LOL.....The roids that were found in James system was a prescribed steriod by his physician used to accelerate the healing process after an injury. I've NEVER saw or heard reports of PED's for James. The times he's tested positive they were for a specific steriod used by doctors treating patients with athletic injuries to help recovery. Roach isn't a nurtritionist nor did Roach have a strength and conditioning coach for Toney other than Justen Fortune. So the answer is "NO"....Roach had no idea that Toney had steriods in his system homie.
