    I think Teddy Atlas would have revealed it by now after he and Cus explosively parted ways during the whole Tyson incident.

    I dont think Tyson ever took roids, he was naturally gifted man who in his prime, worked hard in the gym, and he once put it "I'm Vain, I want my body to look good, and I'm willing to train hard to get that type of body". Tyson was built strong and very thick set, yet even at higher weights late in his career 225-230 5'10 and half, still managed to stay under 10% body fat, something 90% of men wouldnt be able to do naturally.

    Well I cant say for sure wether or not Tyson took any performance enhancing drugs, but I think it's safe to say he was bred to be a phenom early in life, without or without drugs.

    I could not agree more. We have some facts and the rest is relatively easy to put together.

    Exactly, Tyson was something special, and old timers like Cus and others knew it, they knew he was going to be champ many years before he actually was. The combination of raw power and strength, and the kill or be killed mentality from the streets, was just the right ingredients to cook up the most talented Heavyweight the world has ever seen.

    I live in Pittsburgh as well, Tyson gets much love here.:good

    I think Tyson started taking them, after he got out of jail to get back into fighting shape faster.

    He's had those mood swings and violent outbursts since he was 11 or younger, i highly doubt he'd be taking them since then. If it was a normal person suddenly going ape **** then fair enough, but considering Tyson has always been a grade A psycho, i don't think it's strong evidence.

    Holyfield, who is much more likely to have used them, never had them, either.

    Many child prodigies of the time were pumped with them. Who knows for sure. It's hard to believe in this day and age that top sportsmen don't use them. Anyone remember Holmes' blue bottle?
