The only thing I disagree with is that - AND PLEASE BELIEVE ME I HATE TO SAY THIS - but the match should be declared NC and so therefore - PLEASE IN THE NAME OF GOD LET IT NOT BE TRUE - Ruiz be given back the belt.

Sweet Baby Jesus and all the disciples, did I really say that?

If these allegations are true then it is truly a sad day for Toney fans like myself. A lot of people dislike Toney because he is a **** talker and his physical appearance isn�t the greatest. I on the other hand have always appreciated his boxing skills and dedication to the sport. James has superior skill, matched by only a few, and brings character to the sport. But if these charges are found to be true, Toney should be stripped of the Title and the title vacant. Ruiz and the # 3 contender should have a shot at it. Don�t get me wrong I hope and would like to believe that Toney wouldn�t knowingly do anything like this, but if he did then he should be punished. Another thing all the Ruiz fans out there need to be true to themselves and understand that with our without any enhancing drugs Ruiz couldn�t beat Toney on his best day. They should just be happy that Ruiz may have another shot at the title against someone may actually be able to beat.

Check out the latest press release from Goosen-Tutor on www.*********.com. My take is that it's some combination of things his doctor prescribed to heal his torn bicep. Don't anyone jump to conclusions, trial by the media is unjust, and STEROIDS are the latest demon. I should know, I'm a telemarketer.

VAN NUYS, Calif. (May 11, 2005) � James Toney has fought many fights in his career, but the one apparently facing him now is one that disturbs and revolts him like no other opponent could ever do. "Being accused of taking performance enchancing substances is an insult to me. I don't do drugs period," Toney stated.

"I've never used any illegal substances to prepare myself for a fight."

Toney's body doesn't reflect a fighter taking mass muscle substances, nor would anyone in their right mind be taking any banned substances, while knowingly and willingly giving urine samples. Toney's weight loss was substantial from the day the fight was announced to the event, totally inconsistent with the signs of an athlete using substances to add muscle mass.

"Toney received medical treatment for recovery from his biceps and triceps surgery last year. His doctor has stated that the combination of medications used to control the inflammation and tissue growth caused the positive test result," stated Dan Goossen, Toney's promoter. "This is further supported, since the body, in combination with the medications, naturally create the form of substance ("Nandrolone") reflected in the test results."

Goossen further stated, "It would be unjust for the sport to reprimand a fighter who was under a doctor's care and direction many months before in healing a career threatening injury."

Lord let this be true!

I don't think TONEY is that ****** to take roids going in that fight. Damn he knows that he can beat the huggybear without the help of it. It's an opportunity for him to get some recognition in HW division and why he would just waste it just like that?
