    How did Toney get caught for steroids but not Holyfield?

    Do you guys think they protected Evander since he was a sentimental favorite of the public? There's no way he evaded drug detection.

    Some get caught some don’t. No mystery.

    Toney tried his luck and hit caught.

    There’s always a risk even if you do everything right in regards to masking etc.

      Evander was coached by a mr olympia when it comes to that. Toney never seemed that bright.

      The bigger question should be why is Roy Jones exempt from doping criticsm when he too got caught.

        Guys like Toney and Roy likely got caught because they did it once or twice. Someone like Holyfield was doing it his entire career, and knew what he was doing with cycling.

        Plus, Toney and Roy got caught in the early 00's right? They weren't even doing testing back when the announcers remarked "Holyfield gained 15 pounds of muscle between the second and third fight!" during the Holyfield/Bowe match.

          Wow! I never knew Roy used steroids! Tell me more. What did he say about it?

            They didn't catch that many at that level so he must have been inbelievably clumsy.

              Isn't the point of those tests that you can detect traise amounts that indicate cycling?

                I think Toney and Holyfield were taking totally different types of PEDs. Holyfield was on HGH and Im not sure testing agencies were really up on that back then

                  You have absolutely no idea if that’s true.

                  Totally baseless opinion.

                    How do you know that Holyfield was on HGH or are you just pulling that out of thin air?
