Toney suspended for Steroids?!

[BrooklyniteQueen]

You people seem to forget (not making excuses because this is unexcusable) that after the second peter fight toney was diagnosed with a pituatary disorder from blows to the head and the only treatment would be steroids to a certain degree. I'm not sure if those are the ones the doctors said he would need but i'm still sure that these ones are for the pituatary thing and the ones before were for an arm injury. 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.

This s**t! has to stop I don't know about the rest of you BUT me I hate cheaters and finining Toney JUST $2,500 dlls. is s**t. I think the fine should be raised and so should the suspension.
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.

Wonder where i have heard this before

Thats what I ask myself when I talk about something and next thing you know a thread pops up with the exact same 'talk' that I was on.

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.

[Trainer Monkey]

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

[Galaxy]

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!
