Tyson is a physical freak ..ever see the videos of him at 16? He was a beast, no performance enhancing drugs were needed. He's a bit mentally unstable and always has been ...so it wouldn't be a bit surprising if he altered his reality a bit . A large percentage of people with mental problems tend to self medicate.
I shoot up on boxing and too much time in the lab.
What I mean by olympic drug nazis..are the guys that are so overzealous about people using performance enhancing drugs that they destroy innocents' careers in the name of pursuing cleanliness in sport. How many false positives? How many people with ruined careers because of nothing more than association or rumor?
Do you remember those Greek sprinters that were so obviously guilty?
'That makes no sense either. Toney should have thought about what defense he was going to make in the beginning. First he tried denial, then he tried admitting "medical" reasons. His deceptions prove the results were right.'
I don't think Toney's camp understands about false positives with nandrolone. The initial research came out in 2000 followed by more definitive stuff in 2003.
It seems to me if he was juicing , his camp would have a had a plan if he got caught....
Anabolics are also prescribed commonly for muscle injuries, not just corticosteroids for inflammation. However, if it was in Sep. I don't think it is relevant to the post fight urine test.
This might be though...

In a nutshell, the same metabolites from nandrolone degradation can occur naturally, and are especially prevalen following strenuous exercise or periods of dramatic weightloss.
Had the test been positive for anything but the androgens from NA then there would be little question.
Toney said he never did illegal drugs. He didn't say anything about something prescribed by a doc. To prove his point...why doesnt he just show his medical records from back then ?
He and his brother are great for the sport. His defense is improving...although it makes him look like a chickenshit . Wlad by devastating k.o. round 4
I'll definitely be watching the Toney/Booker fight.
JT is extraordinarly brash and trashy in his boxing persona, but the kind of vitriol he spews is great for ratings. He's also old school and extremely fun to watch (provided he is in half decent shape).
Does anyone have information on the press conference with Toney and Booker?
Frazier , Tyson are fun to watch..but I can't fight like that.
Ali was fun to watch.
Louis and Robinson I like because of their fundamentals and power.
Nowadays my favorite is James Toney hands down. Old school sideways stance and pinpoint counterpunching...that's skill.
