    Seriously that might be the worst decision I ever saw. The reason why nobody made a big deal about it is because Foreman was so gracious and forgiving. He knew he was robbed, but just said that **** happens, nothing to do about it, just be thankful you get to go home and see your family or some ****...

      Looks like he hasn't noticed the ruling. Still no comment from him.

          So when was Briggs blood-tested? After the fight, right? Just what kind of PED cannot be detected by urine tests done daily for two months before the fight date?

                You mean you think it was from his urine sample?

                  He admitted that he takes steroid for asthma, a few years ago.

                    It actually surprises me that they caught him after this fight, he looked pretty soft compared to how he normally looked before his layoff.
