As much as I detest the boring Ruiz inside the ring, he's got a point. The other guy cheated and this isn't tennis, it's a contact sport with potentially deadly consequences.
If it was really a simple oversight due to doctor prescribed steriods not fully out of his system, that's entirely different than taking juice illegally to gain an advantage. I dont know which story is true and a lawsuit might be able to resolve that.
After the Castillo weight cheating and the Toney steriod cheat, I think the boxing powers need to get a firm grip on this sport before it becomes a farce. Nothing will kill a sport faster than cheating, unless it's a part of the entertainment like it is with professional wrestling.Comment

This is a scrub move by Ruiz. I had some respect for Ruiz, but after this he needs to disappear from the boxing scene. I don't wanna hear anymore talk about how another boxer cries over a decision. Because Ruiz has just topped them all (at least those I've heard) with this move. Dude needs to stop cryin and beat Toney in the ring if he wants to redeem his career.Comment

Toney don't have any money, he's bankrupt. Maybe Ruiz will win a % settlement on Toney's future purses, taking the money Toney uses for bling and table stuffings!Comment
