    Tyson had many personal problems. Feel free to send the details & evidence about how many tests he skipped when-we already have a whole thread here with the false premise that he admitted using PEDs.
    But assuming he did, Tyson had many personal problems.
    One reason he skipped tests could be dishonesty. Another could be he flaked out, was using recreational drugs, was out of it, etc.

    Yes if he missed tests that would be an absence of evidence he was not using PEDs. Not proof in any sense.
    Anyway, which fights?

    The ones where he strapped on a fake ***** in early 2000s. Anyone who cheats on a drug test should be judged harshly.

    I agree on being very critical when folks seek & often get an advantage through cheating.
    Lazy & cynical thinking has some assuming that everyone used, deeply unfair to the many who are not Cheaters & Liars.

    But that does not give details about what or how many tests he cheated on or how often.
    Nor do we know what he might have used-he often used performance DE-enhancing drugs, recreational ones.

    Genetics have more of a factor on body type then PEDs. African Americans (built from slavery) and Polynesians (built from sea travel) can naturally bulk at a young age.

    Thus I don't think Tyson being mini hulk as a teenager is proof that he was built in a lab.
