    That whole era was juiced to the gills. There was plenty of access, minimal to non-existant testing, and minimal repercussions even if you did test positive. It's not like they DQ'd you and put a loss on your record or took your titles away.

    Not much has changed with the exception of somewhat tougher testing (it couldn't possibly have gotten any more lax).

    Well, Frans Botha tested positive for steroids in 1995 after winning the vacant IBF title against Axel Shulz, and the fight was changed to a no contest and the title was stripped from him.

    Vitali Klitschko tested positive for steroids before the 1996 Olympic Games, and he was dropped from Ukraine's boxing squad and replaced by his brother, Wlad.

    The same year, 1996, Tommy Morrison failed his prefight blood test - it identified that he had HIV. He couldn't fight in the U.S. or anywhere that had a boxing commission.

    Mike Tyson tested positive for marijuana in 2000 after beating Golota, and the fight was changed to a no contest.

    So there were repercussions.

    That bald dot appeared when he was 20 years old and trying to unify the world heavyweight title. His own team didn't know why his hair was falling out. His physician said it was due to the enormous stress he was under. It ended up growing back after he beat Tony Tucker and unified.

    i know that story that it was due to stress!

    Question is was it really maybe he used so much peds that his body started to break down hance the fast decline. Maybe it was his old team that gave him peds!

    i think mid 80's till 90's boxings testing was not that strict! Actually Tyson was first that had huge muscles combined with speed pirior to him emerging it was either u were beanpole like holmes or heavy blawler like shavers or weaver.

    After Tyson we saw Lennox, Tua's ibeabuchis and others! They all became jacked, fast plus their boxing skills.
