A guy I work with told me that Tyson was a big steroid user. Anyone have any idea if it's true or if he used to use roids?

What, you don't believe the guy you work with? Does Tyson look like a steroid user to you?

Well his head has kind of a bauble shape to it, not sure if thats a side effect or what though. He gets pretty *Censor* off sometimes too, beating up people in traffic and stuff.

I doubt that it is steroids that are making him do the crazy things he does. He is just a loose cannon with some serious mental problems that are supposedly being controlled with Zolof. Mike came into the pros with the build that he has now, minus a few extra pounds that he has put on since his glory days and he would not have been able to conseal steroid use as an amatuer or under the watchful eye of Cus D'Amato.

Fighters are most of the times tested before and after the fights.
The only time Tyson didn't pass a test was after the Golota fight where he was tested positive for marihuana (which can hardly be called steriods since smoking weed actually degrades boxing performance).

For one Tyson didnt even lift weights in the 80's. His body was natural and it got ripped from doing situps and pushups, and pullups and running, and eating right. Tyson lifted wieghts later in his carrer(after the Rooney years). Plus who ever said the commision test is 100% correct. Tyson has always been a natural man in all of the word, I mena he was 190 pounds and not fat at 13, whne he was discovered. Give the man some credit. Evil or Very Mad

If you look at Mike through the years, he is a classic mesomorph. His natural fighting weight was consistent for years. If he was roided up he'd blow up like a balloon. As far as his temperament goes, He was a street fighter. No one ever claimed MT was exactly stable. He is ferocious. Rooney needs to get him back in shape so he can break Baby Joe Mesi's baby jaw. Then Mike can beat the commie out of Vitali. People think I'm crazy, but I still think he's a factor in the division.... If he has the right camp.

Mike doing steriods? *Censor*. The only drugs he takes are anti-depressants.

Im believe that he may have. Not all steroids will blow you up, bloat, or cause water retention. Also, some hormones are non detectable like HGH, just look at Bonds.

I believe these guys are innocent until proven guilty but I wouldnt put it past them either.

I really think he didn't. If he did, he prolly just experimented with them.

well from my expert look he's using steroids for sure, cause tyson muscles aren't abnormal and he's geneticly strong, just like venus and serena williams, they genom from mother and father, and one thing is that you can take the same guy and on black guy muscles are going to be more visible than on white guy...sorry on english...

Tyson didnt use steroids but holyfield did you only have to look at the way his muscles were coming out his back when he fought tyson, holyfields steroid abuse would explain his heart problems .
