    Nah. The Ring said that the excuse he gave was valid though. He never actually used steroids. I may be able to find that issue. Private message me if you're interested.

      i think it was something to do with a nasal spray, the richard hall fight, and some kind of cover up, but i'm not sure.

        On a side note, what does is everyone's favorite Larry analogy or comment? I loved the mayweather comment about fighting women. I know I have heard some better ones but I can't remember them.

          hmm

          No one here really knows whether or not he lies or dislikes Roy, but Larry does come off as prickish sometimes in my opinion. He jabs Roy just a little too much in some cases, but still I don't think arry HATES Roy and Roy can certainly handle Larry's old ass.

          They're the best crew and not because they "suck the least".

              Why do people call Merchant a drunk?

                  I've always wondered this myself, perhaps because of his attitude resembles one.


                  I have full proof that Larry is No drunk, When I went to the ppv they with Spadafora in Chester wv in 2003, I met larry inside the casino and sat around the announcing table and he didnt have anything. When I saw him in the casino's lounge he didnt have an alcoholic beverage at all either and I spoke with him a few minutes and he sounds exactly like he does on television and no alcohol in his sight.

                  Then when I went to the Spadafora vs Dorin fight, I was at a local pub and Larry was their and he was sitting down to milk with steak and potatoes, once again no alcohol insight. Then at the time of the fight, I was ringside (right behind the camera man when the crew do their usual analysis for the main event and the only drink Larry had was a water bottle (hold off on the vodka jokes) Larry had gotten the bottle from the cornerman of Dorins and he had opened it.

                  In my 2 experiences in meeting and seeing Larry, a drink was never insight and he is exactly the same way in person as he is on tv.
