    Ripped Fuel was an over-the-counter supplement. Not exactly BALCO, where dudes like Bonds were getting designer steroids..

      It happened in a different era.

      Information wasn't as prolific and available as it is now, the internet age.

      The internet was in its infancy when he was prime.

      I agree with the premise of this thread though, he shouldn't get a pass.

          He black that's why.. Mofos still accusing pac with no proof but turn the other way when he comes to Roy. That should tell you everything right there. Mofos have a different agenda on here. They don't care about cleaning up the sport, they just want the fighter they dislike to get caught.

            Honestly, it's because he's not been relevant in about 12/13 years and people were more ignorant to that type of stuff back then. Mosley got a pass too.

            When it came about Jones nobody was really surprised. Maybe it's a case of, "Hey everyone was probably doing it" or maybe the type of fanboys who'd defend it (like the Canelo apologists) just jumped off his bandwagon and didn't care to raise the point or debate the point?

              Because at least 90% of the world champions right now are on PEDs.

                Just none of the PBC guys, right?

                Are you coming to town for Davis/Mares?

                  I thought that fat slug sulieman was cleaning up the sport?

                    How can 90% of the world champions be on PEDs without PBC guys being on PEDs when PBC has so many world champions? Of course plenty of PBC guys are on PEDs. Almost everyone is everywhere in the world at the elite level.


                    Are you coming to town for Davis/Mares?
                    No. I don't really care much about boxing outside of the heavyweights. Unless one of my fighters ends up on the undercard, I'd have no reason to be there. I'll watch the fight on Roku from whatever hotel I'm in that night.
