Let G be a torsion group and let R be a G-adapted ring. In this note we study the question of when the group ring RG has only trivial torsion units. It turns out that the above question is closely related to the question of when the quaternion group ring RQ8 has only trivial torsion units. We first give a ring-theoretic condition on R which determines exactly when the quaternion group ring has only trivial torsion units. Then several equivalent conditions for RG to have only trivial torsion units are provided. We also investigate the hypercenter of the unit group of a G-adapted group ring RG, and show that when R satisfies the torsion trivial involution condition, this hypercenter is not equal to the center if and only if G is a Q*-group.

Torsion units of group rings have been studied extensively since the 1960s. As association schemes are generalization of groups, it is natural to ask about torsion units of association scheme rings. In this paper we establish some results about torsion units of association scheme rings analogous to basic results for torsion units of group rings.
