Cruelty To Boxers
This image was lost some time after publication. We understand that it's kind of cool for ESPN to get an interview with James Toney, the boxer who just lost his championship belt after testing positive for steroids, so soon after the news came out. But forcing the poor man to answer questions on the "Budweiser Hot Seat" is just mean. Sample exchange:
Brian Kenny: What do you have to say to John Ruiz [the boxer Toney beat] now that you've tested positive for steroids? James Toney: James Toney don't know ... James Toney ... that's just James ... James don't know John Ruiz ... James Toney ... I hate needles!
