Arguably one of the greatest boxers of all time, Mike Tyson has admitted to cheating on his previous drug tests. Speaking on his podcast with current Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance for the UFC, Jeff Novitzky, the former heavyweight champion pleaded guilty and stated that he has used a “Whizzinator” in his previous drug tests.
While Tyson has remained adamant that he has never used performance-enhancing drugs, his recent comments have certainly raised some eyebrows. For those of you who are not aware, a “whizzinator” is a fake p***s that leads to a tube of untainted urine. Mike accepted that he has used both his wife’s and his kid’s urine to pass the tests.
Tyson said, “It was awesome, man. 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. Cuz I got scared that the pi** might come back pregnant.” Tyson said.
In the past, there have been incidents where athletes have been caught using their wife’s urine after the results indicated pregnancy.
“That was what I was afraid of,” Tyson chuckled, “I guess I heard of this happening because I was afraid of that.”
