    And worked with the same guy Roy did.

      no one cared when mosley refused to take extra tests against Judah.

        The IBF chose to do nothing. They wanted a second test to be done. But why take a second test when he failed the first one and admitted to taking a steroid? That’s where it ended.

        No action was taken. Nobody did anything.

        We couldn’t take action (because there is no drug testing law in the state of Indiana) but what we agreed to was before his next two fights, Roy Jones would submit the results to more drug tests to Indiana. One fight was in Louisiana and those results were negative. And the other was in California, and those results were negative.

        What surprised me about this is that the IBF chose not to do anything. And I have documents…what I’m saying, I can back-up. So I’m not concerned with that.[/b]

        Those fights were the Harding and Harmon fights, the fights were people say the thought Roy was starting to slip

          Guilt by association doesn't work though (and Shilstone has a very clean record and extremely high reputation). That's like saying everyone who trained under a certain person is on steroids.

            I didn't know Shilstone had a clean record. Didn't know anyone was really recording. But he's certainly been rumoured to be shady.

              rumored, maybe, but within all sports Shilstone is highly regarded and highly respected.

                There wasnt a **** storm about it like this. The media wasnt all over it. It wasnt the biggest fight in the world either. It also wasnt the caliber of star that Floyd and Pac are.

                I remember coming on boxing and just waiting for the next update the fight was that huge.

                  True. Means very little at the end of the day. But he did do a wonderful job with Jones and Hopkins.

                    Mackie Shilstone has said he doesnt know what the steroid is or what the steroid looks like

                      I understand that, but within the hardcore boxing community no one even cared about it.
