In another low blow for boxing, James "Lights Out" Toney was caught using steroids in his heavyweight title fight on April 30.

"According to the Fight Fax web site’s suspension list, James “Lights Out” Toney has been suspended for 90 days and fined $10,000 for testing positive for a banned substance. In addition, and perhaps more importantly, his April 30 WBA title-winning victory over John Ruiz has been changed to a No Decision. While the implications of this decision are not known, the most likely scenario will see the title returned to Ruiz outright. Toney will apparently be re-tested after his 90-day suspension is served."

This is an update to the previous story:

Newly crowned WBA heavyweight champion James Toney has reportedly tested positive for an anabolic steroid in a post-fight drug test. According to longtime boxing writer Wallace Matthews of Newsday, Toney's promoter Dan Goossen was informed Monday night by the New York State Athletic Commission that Toney had "tested positive for a banned substance that is not a narcotic." The paper quotes another source as saying the substance was nandrolone. If this report is accurate, the bout would be declared a no contest, and John Ruiz, who came out of retirement yesterday, would stand to regain his former WBA crown. Toney's attorney Nicholas Kahn suggested that Toney may have been prescribed something he didn't know was illegal by his personal physician.

So mc mark,

Have you gotten anything by System of a Down yet?

I was a little surprised that you would be interested in them as they didn't seem like your type of music. I got their self-titled one awhile back and I never could get into it. That genre - "nu-metal", I guess is what you call it, is one that I just think is noise with Korn, Godsmack, Linkin Park, etc. But I may have to give SOAD another chance if you wound up liking them.

I bought Toxicity but it's sitting on my computer at home. I can't listen to it until I get new speakers for the new computer. But this weekend will be devoted to irritating my wife! She hates anything that isn't show tunes or jazz.

Unnecessary. McCain somehow has this weird obssesson with regulating the sh-t out of Boxing and banning Mixed Martial Arts events. Not sure where it comes from.

Oh, and if pillsbury Toney is using roids then he should use more, he should be embarrassed to take his shirt off in public

Toney should be the poster boy of why people should NOT use steroids. If you end up looking fat like that, who would want to take them?
