    What boxers during their professional careers have failed a steroid/PED test?

    I know James Toney has twice been caught. Roy Jones has failed a test once, as has Shannon Briggs.

    Anybody else?

    What are we counting as PED's?

    JCC Jr and Joan Guzman failed a drugs test for a diuretic, I think Ali Funeka failed one for the same thing. Vernon Paris and Chad Dawson have both failed drugs tests with Cannabis

    I like the way you have explicitly stated 'professional careers' so no one brings up your big cheating hero, Vitali Klitschko.

    The list of those who are HIGHLY suspicious and there is a near overwhelming chance they are chronic PED users is beyond massive. It has no place in a thread like this.

    So, keeping it real... Most of the time it's diuretics and masking agents. Hormone balancers for pregnant women and things like that. Also, the "contaminated steak" excuse is a dandy one! Sometimes though, it's the hardcore, undeniable usage. The joke is in testing amongst all sports globally. The way everything is set up.

    My opinions on PED's in sports since the late 1960's is a heavy one, so I will suppress it here.

    Recent big ones off the top of my head:

    -Roy Jones Jr. vs. Richard Hall '00

    -Fernando Vargas vs. de la Hoya '02

    -Shane Mosley vs. de la Hoya '03 (if admissions count)

    -James Toney vs. John Ruiz '05

    -Ricardo Mayorga vs. de la Hoya '06

    -Orlando Salido vs. Robert Guerrero '06

    These bottom three were all for diuretics:

    -Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. vs. Troy Rowland '09

    -Ali Funeka vs. Joan Guzman II '10

    -Joan Guzman vs. Jason Davis '10

    With Mayorga, wasn't that a diuretic aswell? Would make sense, the guy bounced up and down the weights his last few fights.
    Rosendo Alvarez tested positive for the same substance apparently.

    Mike Tyson tested positive for Marijuana, which can be a stimulant depending on the strain

    Look at Oscar demolishing these cheating mother****ers like Mayorga, Whitaker, Mosley and Vargas. Best fighter of the 90's no doubt.
