Was Mike Tyson On Juice?

The 70s? Steroids were available around the '30s...... Nazis and other armies were working hard in developing additives that could make soldiers stronger, more resilient to avverse climates, and more aggressive.

Hgh wasn't available back then, but testosterone sure was along with anfetamines. There are some crazy stories about soldiers loading up on anfetamines and almost destroying their own bodies in doing impossible tasks.

Search the Norwegian soldier that overdosed them to escape the Russians. Absolutely crazy stuff.

Tyson already admitted of freely using coke before some fights and masking it using a fake plastic ***** to give urine samples ( atsch:rofl:rofl:rofl), he was so important economically that there is no freakin' way he wasn't overdosing all the various peds available. He had to, just to compensate the size gap with his opponents. He was a cash machine, there is no way he wasn't on them. They probably also stunted his growth, considering they could have started giving him in his middle/late teen years, when he was already demonstrating a lot of potential and starting to become a cash superstar.

 

That's what I thought. Before prison Tyson had a great "boxer's physique" - beefy, somewhat defined, but not totally ripped, great shape but slightly rounded without being flabby. Other examples today are Kovalev and Golovkin. In the past Ali and young Foreman had a similar kind of thing.

Post-prison Tyson was bulked and ripped to shreds. Probably was juicing to catch up from being in prison.

 

no. he had to resume his career after prison and years of inactivity.. he, even mike tyson, needed a boost.

 

Mike Tyson is the most naturally chiseled person, I've ever seen. The man is a physical specimen.

i seriously doubt tyson ever took steroids . Tyson wasent exactly very smart for cheating drug tests .Remember he tested positive for cannabis after the golata fight . When tyson was with rooney i cant see how he could of took steroids . Why would rooney,cayton and jaccobs put tyson on steroids when tyson was their cash cow . If tyson was caught their ability to make money would be destroyed . Cayton and jacobs were very smart business man . They built on tysons image to make him squeaky clean which made him so popular. Tyson had natural speed and power . He was just a freak of nature, He was as big and as muscular at 15 as he is now and was 190 pounds when he was disccovered by dmato at 13 . His body in the eighties looked very natural . Its possible tyson took steroids when he was realised from prison because his body was very bulked up and artifical looking . But no way he took them when he was with rooney . Tyson didnt even do weights when he was with rooney . Rooney said that he wouldnt let tyson do weights because it would make him too bulkt and take way his speed and agility and decrease his stamina . What would be the point in tyson doing steroids in the eighties when he didnt even do any weightlifting

 

If "juice" was the solution to crazy early dominance then there would be a thousand other Mike Tysons out there. ******.

 

People forget that in the 80's, weight training was still often seen as something not to do and best avoided.
It was only after Spinks and later Holyfield (the pioneers) demonstrated the benefits of a proper weight training program designed for fighters, that there was a wholesale uptake of weight training (and by extension steroid use) in boxing.

In the early to mid '80's nearly every trainer was still deeply suspicious of weight training, fearing that their fighters would become 'muscle-bound.'
Guys like Cus were old-school and certainly would never have ever considered weight training or steroid use for Tyson. Cus was a suspicious man at the best of times and I cannot see him embracing what was considered a 'no-no' in the sport. Atlas and Rooney were Cus proteges and again, it would be strange to me if they would even consider Tyson doing 'roids or weights.
If you look at vintage Tyson training footage, it's all traditional boxing stuff like roadwork, hitting the bag etc. I personally have never seen old footage of him doing weights. He might have dabbled in it, but not with any specific programme or goal in mind.
That applies to pretty much all fighters of that era.

I do think that a few, a handful, were experimenting with 'roids and such back then, but to me PEDs in boxing only started to take hold properly in the late '80's and early '90's.

Now post-prison I think is a different story. Training methods for fighters now involved weight training to a large degree and I think Tyson adopted weights and 'roids because it was a lot more commonplace by then.
(By the way, I think weight training and steroid use pretty much go hand-in-hand. If you're not training with weights, you're almost certainly not doing 'roids either.)

 

Thats also my opinion. Tyson was not ripped before prison, he had the perfect fighters body before prison imo. After prison his body changed and his behaviour went nuts.

 

of course he was. juiced in upstate all the time. explained his violent behavior.

mike was the poster boy for steroids.

 

All signs point to yes. Tyson was probably on steroids, but so was everyone else. I think you may be a little naive thinking that he was one of the first. Steroids were probably in boxing since the sixties.

 

every pro athlete since the early seventies has been on something.

 

This, but i wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if it started well before than that. Peds were available since decades before.

 

Remember an interview with Boyer Coe, one of the top bodybuilders of the late 70s/eary 80s.

He was talking about how anabolic steroids first started being used in th bb'ing community only really in the late 60s early 70s.

I assume bodybuilders would be first adapters in those kind of things.

So give or take a few years, I think its safe to say anabolics have been around since around the late 60s.

Things like HGH didnt really come along until the 80s

 

NOPE Mike Tyson was not on the juice.that was all natural.
