Boxer suing opponent who took steroids ...

A very interesting story about the ongoing steroids controversey, and something that could be HUGE for the sportsworld ... read on my friends ...

A boxer, John Ruiz, wants his last opponent, James Toney, to pay him $10 million because Toney tested positive for the steroid Nandrolone after beating him for the WBA title April 30 at Madison Square Garden.

Anyone who has suffered through the pain of watching a Ruiz fight might cringe at that assertion, but think of the legal precedents this could set _ every pitcher who ever dished up a home run ball to Jason Giambi or Rafael Palmeiro could soon be shopping for an attorney. Any sprinter ever denied a gold medal by Kelli White could sue. (more ...)
