    Like many others do on here ? His fake ***** and friends borrowed urine weren't to hide his vitamin intake was it ?

    I thought he did that to hide recreational drug use not performance enhancers. Not doubting he was on PED's but he was never caught to my knowledge or admitted to such.

    He didn't take PEDs, just Marijuana.

    I can't understand why we should be vilifying anyone for taking PEDs,isn't a given at this high level?
    Not saying it's right but I don't feel the need to believe my fav boxers are clean in a sport known for it,oddly enough re PEDs I don't believe they've improved stamina that much as I can't imagine modern day boxers doing fifteen rounds?

    I don't mind Mike or anyone using PEDs - I simply see it as a given at top level. There was a program on tv tonight (here in the uk) about PEDs in sport - and one US sprinter and former world record holder who was banned - said basically what I said above - at top level pretty much everyones using. So I just think a lot of folks are ignorant at how widespread it is.

    Wasn't it to cover up him taking cocaine?

    The whizzer was to cover up weed and coke, according to Mike. He never mentions taking PEDs in his autobiography, except where he complains about Holyfield doing it, and Golota's or Botha's bacne, I forget which.

    I go back and forth, but I think guys back then were mostly clean, given how you would see them tire in the later rounds. It's the guys who don't tire I'm suspicious of.

    Allegedly, Mike's urine shenanigans were occasionally done to conceal his use of cocaine and marijuana. He himself admitted this.

    Unlike some pro HW fighters, I don't think he (Tyson) was on any PEDS. His training & nutrition regimen was quite impressive, pre-88.

    It's not suspicious that a 19 y/o kid knocks grown men, is it. :huh
