Mike Tyson told police that he's "an addict and has a problem" after he was arrested this morning (Dec. 29) for DIU and ******* possession at 1:45 am in Scottsdale. AZ. "Mike admitted to possessing bags of ******* and says he uses it any time he can get his hands on it," police reported after he was booked into Phoneix's Fourth Avene Jail, where he remains until bail is set.
Tyson, driving a black BMW 745i, was seen swerving on Scottsdale Rd. and Earl Dr. when police pulled him over. He'd just left the nightclub, Sugar Daddy's. Tyson failed a sobriety test, but not for alcohol. Police reported he was "under the influence of depressents, stimulants and cannabis."
Police said there was a "white powder substance" on the BMW's center console and that Tyson was "wiping off the dashboard" as they approached the car. A search produced three "dime bags" of coke in the car and on his person.
Tyson, who lives in Paradise Valley, AZ, cannot leave the state until a preliminary hearing on Jan. 16.
In 2004, Tyson was arrested in Scottsdale for harrassing a patron outside a bar.
MIKE TYSON ON DRUGS "I'm on the Zoloft to keep me from killing y'all. It has really messed me up and I don't want to be taking it, but they are concerned about the fact that I am a violent person, almost an animal. They only want me to be an animal in the ring." (Sept. 2000)

Holyfield admits taking drugs for "hormonal problem"
Ex-champ denies steroids use
By JEFF SCHULTZ

Published on: 03/14/07
Evander Holyfield, while reaffirming he has never taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs, said Tuesday he took a drug in 2004 "that was supposed to help with my hormonal problem," but that he quickly stopped because it didn't seem to do anything.
Holyfield's name recently showed up on a customer list for Applied Pharmacy of Mobile, which is part of a national probe into illegal sales of steroids and human growth hormone (HGH). Holyfield, like other athletes, has not been targeted in the investigation, and he has not been charged. Nonetheless, he has found himself defending his reputation in the days leading up to his fight Saturday night in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Holyfield said that 'A doctor . . . prescribed something, but I don't know what it was. Hormonal something.'

Holyfield admitted for the first time Tuesday that he took a drug "two or three times," which he says was prescribed, for occasional fatigue problems he had battled since contracting hepatitis A in 1995, before a heavyweight title defense against Rid**** Bowe. (Holyfield said he thinks he got the virus from eating "some bad shrimp" but never disclosed he had hepatitis A, which can't be spread through casual contact, because he did not want the fight canceled.)
Holyfield said that in 2000 he was told by a Houston physician that he had a hormonal deficiency, which possibly was leading to his occasional bouts with fatigue.
"I would get tired for no reason at all," he said. "I was tired for the whole day. I'd even sleep, then I'd get up and it felt like I hadn't gotten any rest at all. Sometimes my energy would just go up and down for no reason. They said part of it might have been when I had the hepatitis A, which attacks the liver, and the stress."
Holyfield said in 2004 "somebody recommended" he contact a doctor in South Georgia who dealt with hormone drugs. He did not recall the name of the doctor. But he believes it was someone associated with Applied Pharmacy.
"A doctor there prescribed something, but I don't know what it was. Hormonal something," he said. "All I know is it didn't do anything so I stopped taking it. I only took it two or three times over the summer. They said, 'Just keep taking it.' I said, 'Why, it's not doing anything?' I lost to Larry Donald [in November]."
Holyfield says the prescription was cleared by Dr. Christopher Vaughns, his former personal physician. Vaughns died of cancer in 2005.
"I told my doctor it didn't help, and they said, 'Then don't use it any more,' " he said. "I still felt sluggish."
Holyfield was dogged by steroid accusations early in his career but has long denied using any kind of performance-enhancing drug. He has reaffirmed those denials in recent weeks and said he plans to put out another statement as soon as this week on his Web site, confirming several details that he laid out Tuesday for the Journal-Constitution.
Holyfield also disclosed that the possibility of taking steroids was addressed early in his career in 1988, just prior to him moving up from cruiserweight to heavyweight. But he decided against it.
"Somebody high up in boxing mentioned to me that there was this other fighter who did steroids and I should too because it wasn't illegal in boxing yet," he said. "I said, 'I'm not going to do that. I ain't no cheater.' I was the undisputed cruiserweight champion and I was in the Olympics. If I started taking steroids, people would say, 'He cheated at everything.' But this guy told me, 'Well, [Mike] Tyson is doing it, you should, too. I said, 'I don't care if Tyson is doing it, I'm not.' "
Holyfield said he is not accusing Tyson of taking steroids; he was just relating the story. He also declined to say who addressed the subject with him, adding, "The person is still in boxing. People sue people. I don't need to get into that."
He also said he was aware that one of his former trainers used steroids. "His personality went back and forth. Sometimes he was normal. Sometimes he was aggressive. Another thing I noticed is that he smelled bad. A lot of times people who take steroids have this odor."Last edited by Benny Leonard; 03-14-2007, 02:48 PM.Comment
