The guy is fornicating brain dead and so is his team/family . I have had enough of this shit show now
He should be being treated not losing his belts not as if coke going to give him any advantage is it, he's been a bit daft sniffing but could be worse.
Disappointed- if he wants to do blow he should have just quit boxing. If he's using and fighting he should be stripped I don't care what the reasons behind it are or weather it enhances performance or it if was used socially. Its on the band substance list, that list is part of the sport and its non negotiable.
And makes an absolute mockery of mental health issues that they tried to smoke screen the truth by faking a serious illness.
I'm not anti people doing a few lines of coke, I'm anti people getting away with abusing the rules of the sport. Lucas Browne got stripped and humiliated for accidentally consuming a banned substance.

Although I agree with the majority of this post, you can be mentally ill AND do drugs. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if that's where a lot of men that don't want to face their problem turn towards
I'd be suffering from anxiety and depression too on a coke comedown if I'd just thrown away my career. On a lighter note I'd say he's an absolute hoover

Course he should be banned man! Wtf! It's coke! I'm a fan of Tyson and I've also been known to partake in a bit of powder from time to time but if he's caught then of course he should be banned!
I do not get the whole "undisclosed medical condition" bs and the hinting towards mental illness. Did they think it would not come out? Just makes them look worse.
I have re-watched the Peter Fury IFL interview and he looks shifty and talking softer than normal. Totally missed it first time. First clue something dodgy was in the air

I'm not sure what you are not getting here....... It's Charlie , it's a class A , 100% on the banned list and he is/was heavy weight champion of the world.
If Tyson Packs in Boxing, he do as much coke as he likes
