Iron Mike is coming back in the ring and because of this some old memories are starting to leak through the cracks.
During the former world champ’s podcast ‘Hotboxin with Mike Tyson’ featuring UFC Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance Jeff Novitzky, Tyson recalled a time where he used a prosthetic penis filled with his baby's urine to pass a drug test.
“I put my baby’s urine in it. And sometimes, one time I was using my wife’s and my wife was like ‘Baby you better not hope that it comes back pregnant or something.’ And I said, 'Nah, so we ain’t gonna use you any more, we’re gonna use the kid,'” Tyson said.
The “Whizzinator” made its splash on the scene back in the prime of Mike’s first go around in his boxing career. Mike had to pass a drug test before every boxing match but, his use of illegal substances would’ve stopped him from participating. He claimed that although he was cheating the system to pass his drug tests, it wasn’t because of use of any athletic enhancing hormones, steroids, or drugs. He defends himself as a clean fighter. However, he had to fake his urine during drug tests because of his recreational drug use.
He suggests that his clean fighting status is pure however, in his book Undisputed he admits to submitting to the party scene indulging in both cocaine and Marijuana -- two substances suspendable by all three boxing establishments. (WBC, WBA, and International Boxing Federation IBF)
