  • Pro boxers who've been caught using steroids

    What boxers have been caught using steroids during their professional careers?

    Several come to mind:

    Shane Mosley
    James Toney (at least twice - Ruiz fight and Batchelder fight)

    Both have been proven to have used steroids.

    What about Roy Jones? Evander Holyfield?

    Does anybody know of any other cheaters?

        Toney also was found to have taken Steroids after the Batchelder fight as well.

        Vitali Klitschko admitted using steroids in his early career.

          Vitali admitted to using steroids some time before his professional boxing career began, he's never cheated as a pro.

            Roy Jones took a LEGAL supplement during that time, please take his name off the list as he never did steroids (coming from a non-jones fan).

                Yes, it was just before he turned pro. He really screwed himself by taking the roids. Got himself kicked off the Olympic team. He and Wlad wanted to both win Golds together. That dream never came true but they are now both HW champions of the world, which is a larger accomplishment.

                  Mariano Carrera tested positive for the anabolic steroid clenbuterol following his World Boxing Association (WBA) junior middleweight title victory over Javier Castillejo in Berlin on Dec. 2. Just three days after that bout, the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended Orlando Salido, who had outpointed Robert Guerrero to win the International Boxing Federation (IBF) featherweight belt in Las Vegas on Nov. 4, when his postfight urinalysis revealed the presence of another steroid, nandrolone. (Both Carrera and Salido were stripped of their titles following the tests.)


                  Frans Botha of South Africa was stripped of the IBF heavyweight title belt he won against Axel Schulz in 1995 after testing positive for steroids, which he and his camp claimed had been prescribed for treatment of an arm injury.

                    Good example. After the DLH fight. He got KTFO and then was caught using roids. That was a great fight though!!!!!
