    Roy tested positive one time, for a moderate amount of substance that could be explained by a variety of things, even OTC products. You should watch the special ESPN did on this issue. Until you gain more knowledge, peace be with you.
    People always leave out that Hall, Jones' opponent for the roids fight, also tested positive for steroids and I believe at a possibly higher level unless I'm mistaken.

      So because the other guy cheated as well, the fact that Jones cheated is okay?

      that makes no difference.

        No, but the whole situation was put out in the media by Hall making a claim that he lost because Jones was juicing. Then it was made clear by the sanctioning body and the local commission that Jones was 5-6 times above the legal level and Hall was "10 times" above the legal level.

        It was the only time Jones tested positive for anything in his entire career, including many of his fights that were held in Vegas, one the strictest commissions in the country for drug testing.

        That's doesnt change the fact that Jones appeared to be bitter in his interview comments because of his interest in fighting Taylor and losing that payday.

          You beat me to it. I've read Jones was taking Ripped Fuel at the time he tested positive for illegal substances which was over the counter at the time. I'm not sure if it is still but like S Lightweight said it was the only time.

            The fact that he was caught once proves he has the lack of morales needed to be a drugs cheat. He could have cheated in any number of other instances.

            Testing for drugs relies upon the drugs being known to the testers. New performance enhancing drugs are being developed all the time, look what happened with BALCO.

            I find it highly su****ious that jones would choose to take drugs on one occasion which happened to be the time he got caught.
