    "Juice boy," Jones has no legacy. That is what happens to exposed juice boys. No one knows how good they might have been, but their efforts do not count. For proven juice boys all accomplishments are nullified, all victories renounced. They live in their own limbo of legacy, boxing's ghosts whose sins make them perpetual wanderers outside the walls of the Hall of the Greats, neither allowed in or shooed off permanently. Inside, Pep & Robby preside at First Table.

            Roid Jones, Jr: The Steroid Scandal Incredibly, as late as the early '00s numerous U.S. commissions were still not even testing boxers for performance enhancing drugs. However, in May 2000 - in an independent pilot drug testing program - Roid Jones, Jr tested 6x over the allowable limit on a T:E ratio test after his light


            Don’t bother the ts bias, but read the articles. I myself read the actual articles many years ago with the statements from the athletic commissions, alphabet boys etc. I don’t think you can find the articles online any more as I believe I searched for them subsequently. They are in the link however.

            If you are unaware of the story, you will get a revelation. Enjoy your reading.
            Thanks bro. I'll give them a read
