(Prime) Roy Jones Jr vs Joe Calzaghe

[RichCCFC]

Roy Jones Jr

Tested positive for androstenedione.

The post-fight drug test showed Jones and Hall both tested positive for androstenedione, which is a banned substance by the IBF. Androstenedione is a natural steroid hormone that was commonly available over the counter as a supplement until 2004 when the FDA made the over the counter sale of androstenedione illegal. Jones admitted to taking the product "ripped fuel" which was sold in GNC and every nutritional supplement outlet.Jones was able to keep his title and was not fined or suspended for the positive test. All of Jones' other post-fight drug tests before and after this fight came back clean. He ended the year by stopping Eric Harding in the 10th round of a one sided fight, once again successfully retaining the title.

Androstenedione

Androstenedione is a steroid hormone produced in the adrenal glands and ovaries. It functions as a precursor to both testosterone and estrogen. Androstenedione ("andro") is manufactured as a dietary supplement and marketed as a natural alternative to anabolic steroids, claiming to enhance sports performance and increases muscle mass. However, some studies suggest that Androstenedione supplementation may have adverse health consequences due to its androgenic and estrogenic properties. [1-4] Androstenedione has been banned by The National Football League, International Olympic Committee, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

Due to the lack of proven benefits and the potential risks, on March 11, 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggested that manufactures stop distributing andro supplements. [5] In October, 2004, the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 was approved by the Senate and the House, and signed into law by President George W. Bush. As of January 20, 2005, this law is now enforceable.

I don't really care if Jones took steroids or not, I think he is naturally incredible.

His only let down is his chin.

It's ok man, stop preaching the pro-roid propaganda. We all know the truth.

Yeah the truth hurts: you've never trained boxing, or studied it. And don't know **** about Andro/Steroids/GNC/Supplements.


So keep swinging off Joe's nuts. It's funny how far you have to reach.


Here's the truth that hurts you:

Roy jones = all time great.

Calzaghe = a good fighter who won't be remembered in the same breath.

His chin had everything to do with killing his body after HW, at 34 - 35... doing that to your body he was never the same.

Actually why dont you bring your book... about THEY WERE LEGAL, when he took them... 3 years later when they banned the substance, they went BACK and tested his samples and it came up positive... why do u think nothing ever happened? he was never suspended? WHY? for the reason i just gave you. When he took andro... andro was LEGAL.
