Like a spreading cancer this illicit drug thing metastasizes (prior Holyfield posts here, and here for starters). Now, Evander Holyfield, apparently feeling some heat, says he was told Mike Tyson juiced. Expanded story in Atlanta Constitution. Not that anyone should be surprised. Max Kellerman estimated 70% of heavyweights were on the program. For Holyfield, the result of ingesting some bad crustaceans (but possibly hepatitis):
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 Riddick 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 (someone is wishing today he had a gag on this guy) talked about Tyson, and not that he would talk about Tyson:
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."
However, take heart: Holyfield says taking 'roids stinks:
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."
What stinks is this entire episode.
which are the major fatal risks of taking hormones?

I have to wear these convex soles due to a toe with arthritis. Needless to say, I would rather die than be caught wearing orthopedic shoes! I've gotten so many compliments on these shoes. They are incredibly comfortable and stylish. I bought them to go with dresses and skirts and they certainly don't look like typical, comfortable shoes. They aren't dainty stilettos, of course, but they aren't big clunky athletic type shoes, either.
