But there are a few comments on these threads well wide of the mark.

The guy never cheated. There is nothing performance enhancing about cocaine. I've seen it referred to on these boards, repeatedly, as a stimulant as if that means anything.

The guy has very likely got mental health issues. People insinuating he made them up to cover up for the cocaine issue really should be sure of that before spouting it online.
Mental health issues could have been a causal factor in his choice in lifestyle. His choice in life style could be a causal factor in his mental health issues. I would have serious reservations about leveling criticism at anyone who may be suffering mentally.

The guy is human. We can all sit here on a pedestal, telling the world he should be a role model.
No one knows what happens inside his head. No one here can tell the pressure he is under and the temptations of his new found fame.

I've taken the stuff before and I don't consider myself a "bad example to the young uns", equally I'm not a millionaire sportsman I suppose.


But let's not forget who will lose most from this. It's his body, it's his decision what he puts in it and he will be the one that pays the greatest penalty for getting caught.

I reckon most people dont care what he takes, just dont be a twat taking narcotics a few weeks before a title fight ffs! He kniws there is random drug testing taking place, its in the contract, so why is he snorting coke a few weeks prior to the fight??? He is either thick as pig sh*t, wanted out, or, as Uncle Peter claims, seriously ill with depression. We all know Tyson is a slice of cheese short of a sandwich, but the timing of it all stinks, he has clearly been caught red handed, knows he's getting banned, prior to the announcement he pulls out with no explination, Uncle Peter creates a smoke screen by blaming the boxing community for his downfall for not treating him like Elvis, the depression card is raised to avoid scrutiny, all the while the sport fontinues to suffer from his actions. Well sorry, i'm not buying it, this guy has hijacked the heavyweight division for over a year and now we are supposed to feel sorry for him because they are claiming depression???

Get yourself sorted out pronto or get the fcuk out off the way and let boxing move onward without you.

bang on. Falsely claiming "depression" as a smoke screen is repulsive. The should send Fury to support groups for families such as Gary Speeds widow and Children, I'm sure it would go down well when he says he's depressed because the tabloids didn't sing his praises enough. The guy is scum imo.

"Cocaine is not prohibited by the WADA code out of competition -- only in competition. The commission should not have been testing for cocaine a month before a fight . And it also should not have released positive result."

It's banned as a stimulant

Banned in competition not 1 month plus from the fight. Name another fighter done for coke, not in competition.

That just proves the conspiracy theory - isn't Oakey a traveller?

It still pisses me off when I think of Harrison and how his career went down the toilet. What a waste.

BigDoofus wrote:Peter Fury blamed the press for Tyson's pullout. The worst of Tyson's outbursts (Jews/ homosexuals) was in a filmed interview when Peter Fury questioned him.
Tyson didn't turn up for the press conference and then excuses were made about traffic, car breakdown and lack of phone signal. Does anyone believe this?
Peter Fury claimed that Hughie would become the youngest ever world heavyweight champion (Mike Tyson was 20 years 4 months).
Hughie Fury is 22 and won't fight Dillian Whyte.

Yeah that was at late notice as well I think. I used to work with a guy from East Kilbride and he worked doing the CCTV over there and he was telling me he saw Harrison leather two guys at the bus station. Apparently he was steaming drunk bouncing off the walls but still knocked seven shades of shite outta the two of them!

I was at a show in Paisley a couple of years or so back and he was there out his nut! Was during one of his 'comebacks' as well!

I've seen him out his banger a few times. Seems to get himself in a right nick
