Holy **** guys.. the site is in Norwegian and i couldn't find a thread on it, have any of you seen this? is it true? Could this mean he was on PEDs?

it basically says he used a fake penis with someone elses urin in it, and when he tested positive for marihuana at the Golota fight the trusted guy in his camp was to late with the penis. This sounds to crazy for boxingscene not to have an article? It also says he did a lot of cocaine and such drugs, nothing about PEDs, but it sounds kind of fishy now IMO :/

but I must say, if this is true I will be very VERY dissapointed..

He apparently admits this in his new book "Undisputed truth".

Yeah, sorry.. edited. But I mean, I'm a huge Tyson fan, but don't you think this is suspicious?

Already posted and no.

I'm pretty sure Tyson had an interview where he said if he used roids he wouldve admitted it.

He used it to avoid popping on weed.

Pretty sure he used the fake penis to mask Marijuana

Weed and Cocaine don't really enhance your performance.

I have pretty extensive experience with both. They might make you think you're fighting better but that's it.

I somewhat disagree.


Drugs like that certainly aren't PEDs, but to be fair... they could affect everyone differently. A guy coked up out of his mind could step into the ring and fight in completely different way that he would of if he was sober, be more brave, etc... That's an unfair advantage, and any drug- from Weed to MDMA to Steroids gives a fighter an unfair advantage, whether it be physical or with the example I used for weed/cocaine - mental, IMO.

Weed or cocaine do not enhance your physical performance, but I am sure one knowledable in the field could argue they give a "mental performance enhancement" to some people and provide a mental edge.

Not talking about Tyson because its done and over with.... but in todays boxing world, I believe usage of ANY drug before a fight should (and is?) strictly enforced, not just PEDs/steroids.

Hahaha That's the truth.

You do feel as if you do everything better on that sh\t.

Until your coming down and swearing that you will never do it again. LOL

If Tyson did roids he would have said something by now, imo. Tyson has told all about his demons and he doesn't care. Plus Tyson was a freak of nature at like 12-13 years of age dude was always a beast.

And even if he was should we even care? Late 80's mid 90's pretty much all sports athletes were on roids baseball, basketball, football, boxing, etc.
