    Default Roy Jones steroid story.

    What is the real story behind Roy Jones and steroids?

    In 2000, Jones tested positive for androstenedione, a testosterone precursor. He claimed that he had taken the substance unknowingly, as it was contained in a nasal decongestant that he was taking. However, the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended him for six months.

    In 2017, Jones tested positive for turinabol, an anabolic steroid. He was banned from boxing for one year.

    Roy Jones is my favorite fighter but surely this cannot be ignored if applied to everyone?

    What are your honest thoughts on this and what stories have you heard?

    Roy is innocent. He was a natural and the greatest of our generation. He did not need any PED his talent, hard work and commitment were enough.

    What about Floyd using illegal injections in his hands to box or using IV blood to prepare for fights?

    Shane Mosely, Evander Holyfield and James Toney were some of my favourite boxers that were caught with substances in their body. To think of them as drug cheats is hard to accept. They were phenomenal talents who could do it all without PED.

    Begs the question. Could they?

    As far as I can remember Jones Jr was never banned. He and Richard Hall? Both tested positive for the same thing and both said they had no idea it was in a supplement they were taking. It was swept under the carpet on some technicality I can't remember.
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough
