    Do you guys even mind that Toney is on the roids? I saw something a while back on ESPN mentioning he has naturally low testosterone levels. I don't think he should be fighting at all, but if that's the case, he should probably be allowed to take something.

    And Roger Clemens cant keep his peepee up so he should be allowed to take Viagra...even if he did it for the fact that it also improves your stamina and energy.

    Listen, fact is, the use of steriods is ILLEGAL. If you are caught doing it, it is against the rules. It gives you more mass, strength, resistance and recupperative powers (haha sounds like a super hero...:lol: ), etc... I dont care if its for a low testosterone level or to make Captain Winky stand at attention...its still cheating and should be handle and considered such.

    Fair enough. It's just when I read about Toney's pituary gland being ****ed up from getting punched in the head so much, I could understand why he would roids. Yes, he cheated and he might as well just retire, but, I'm sure there is something out there that isn't illegal that could help him out in that one aspect.

    I think for the Ruiz fight he took the roids to help his shoulder heal more quickly - it wasn't to increase stamina or power or something, he would've taken other stuff then (he took nandrolone). It was obvious seeing the shape he was in that the roids didn't help him get in shape for that fight, and he beat Ruiz because of his skills and not because of the roids. Toney probably didn't even know himself that the meds he was taking were illegal.
    STILL, the substance was illegal, and so the decision to rule the fight a NC and to take the WBA strap from James was right. In the end, he didn't win the fight, but it's clear that he beat Ruiz.

    For the Batchelder fight, I don't know... I think Toney just took the roids to get in somewhat decent shape because he didn't prepare at all for the fight. It didn't help him at all - Toney needs no roids, he needs sparring. I was disappointed when I heard he took that ****, he don't need it, it's a disgrace. And it was very stupid. Batchelder took roids too for that fight.

    In the end, Toney took roids for the Ruiz an Batchelder fights, that's it. Any accusations of him taking roids for other fights is pure speculation, look at the shitty shape he came in and you know he most probably didn't. He paid for what he did and we should leave it at that, period.
