Thread: Toney suspended for Steroids?!

If they busted athletes that were higher profile than toney, they would've busted him earlier if he tested positive as well.

interesting, I didn't know about his condition

Toney needs to retire anyway. He was a great fighter, but he's at the end of the road. Hopefully this suspension will make the retirement decision for him.

I agree. He doesn't have naything left to prove and hes not getting any younger.

f*ck this 1st time offender, 2nd time offender levels of punishment s**t... They do it once make the punishment so that they don't make it to level 2.

this is his second offense tho

Fwock!

Damnit james.. I hate to say it but his career is probably over..

I fear his only hope of late has been to make cruiser and go all out.. But after a long suspension and with his age i fear he may be unable to top off his career..

I hope he is remembered for what a great fighter he is and was instead of steriod use and lack of discipline to make weight..

Mixed feelings right now..

Unless he wins an appeal here I dont suppose we'll hear much more from Toney now.

Yup. James Toney has cooked his goose.

The fella he was going to fight tested positive for the same drug. Maybe they has an agreement between them or something...

Hmmm...... I thought that blubber was looking kind of chiseled lately.

Remember isn't his first time in a steroids scandal...Last time he claimed his trainer slipped it to him

Must've snuck it into his triple-decker Big Mac with double bacon.

Strange. huh!

He's only been banned to fight in Calafornia right?

To be honest as far as affecting Toney's career it won't make any difference. The guy is the new milleniums Roberto Duran and will keep fighting until he has a car crash or some other injury that finally finishes him off for good.

Toney lives to fight. If the entire USA banned him he'd probably go fight in Columbia or Mexico.

This won't be the last we see of him in the ring.

He should have just stayed down in weight,he never had the hand size,and trying to get the bulk allways screwed him up,not to mention his eating habits

A second time... come on James whats with you?

By the time the suspension is up he'll be nearing 40. Best to leave the game now I say!
