Tyson admits coke addiction during career, and using fake penis to cheat tests

[Kirkland Laing]

I can't see Tyson getting raped somehow. If nothing else he'd have been kept a seriously close eye on by the staff. We know for a fact he got somebody pregnant in prison so he was probably treated like a celebrity in there.

No convicted rapist no matter who they are is gonna be treated like a celeb especially by other inmates and def not by the screws, I've not read the book yet and regardless of the comments he makes about that period I remember that interview so well as it was the first ever time id seen Tyson as a human being , close to tears totally broken and actually showing some emotion...I think it was Harry Carpenter as it goes who interviewed him.
Thats why it sticks in my mind.
Ill see if I can find it anywhere and post it up then draw your own conclusion ;-)

I remember the interview you're on about. I'm pretty sure he saw the inhuman stuff being done to other people. I don't think for a minute that anything got done to him. Maybe a celebrity is the wrong word but he definitely would have been a special case in prison.

He went to a youth center not a full blown prison, Tyson would've been older than most everyone in the place and obviously got special treatment. Odd that anyone would even care to speculate he was raped in the first place, let alone by adamant about it. I'm sure there were loads of other 20 year olds up to the task in there

Theres no way he spent his entire prison sentence 100% seperated from other inmates.
He'd have had a HUGE target on him the moment he walked in their by bullies, rapists etc.

anyone who tells another man to come here and let me "Eat your asshole alive" is suspect , very suspect lol



There are some strong clues that he was def in that kinda environment just by quotes he made post jail, whether he was raped only he knows but shit happens in prisons all the time even to high profile inmates.
I dont believe for a second that he was the Big man on the inside in a world full of convicted murderers with absolutely nothing to lose, so agree as much as possible and for that reason alone they would have tried to keep him away from the predators but anyone can be got at in Prison.
Im gonna check his first few fights 'post Jail' and see if he walks any different. :-)

He didn't go to prison, it was a youth facility Odd thing to be hung up on ffs.

In other news today the sky seems to be blue and water is wet...yes we have just received reports confirming that water is indeed wet.

I love how everybody who's watched a few episodes of Oz suddenly knows what prison is like.

Nobody raped Tyson, come on

I worked in the prison system for a time here in the US. I was a counselor, not a guard or anything. They alway separate high-profile inmates and sex offenders as it s a badge of honor for an inmate to get one. I didn't know Mike was in a youth facility but even so precautions would have been taken. You have a general population and a protective custody in the US prison system.

At least it was not performance enhancing drugs but he sure is a fuck up. My hero. Cunt.

Tysons a fucking nutjob always has been always will be.

Im as sure as I can be that he was raped frequently while in jail.
One interview after his release he very nearly admitted it and was visibly breaking down mentally as he recalled his prison term.

Also that Lewis presser where he bit him then started going crazy and telling the journo he was gonna " fuck you till you love me you bitch hoe" amongst other bizzare sexual rants lol.
Trust me if MR BIG on a life sentence wanted to rape Tyson he simply would do.

Tyson is like a jigsaw puzzle with bits missing so cant be fixed or ever put back together correctly.

It was only last month he even admitted that he was lucky to still be alive thru addiction.

He was unstable before he turned pro and theres footage of him crying on Teddy atlas shoulder before battering some kid in a golden gloves final at age 14-15.
Add the eath of the ONLY person he ever trusted and hen the money, fame and the Devil as a manager he never neverstood a chance the poor cunt.
I've always felt sorry for Tyson .

Normal tough guys go into prison and do NOT get raped. Many do but not everyone.

So you believe the former heavyweight champ IN HIS PRIME goes to a youth facility and is repeatedly raped? By who?

He'd cave a mans skull in if he hit him, two men even.

Bernard before he boxed a single pro round was not raped. One story actually claimed he was a raper.

Point is, Tyson is a lot of things but a prison bitch ain't one of em. His comments toward that reporter at the Lewis fight indicate to me that if anything, Tyson was a sexual predator behind bars.

Yes, and rape, despite what you hear, is not that common in prison. Yes it does happen but the majority of sex in prison is done willingly. Some inmates use it as currency. Don't worry, if you end up in prison you can get a blow job for a few Ramen soups.

[p4pking]

Maybe he didn't even use cocaine, this could all be damage control for being caught with a fake penis after he grew accustomed to being raped. I'm as sure as I can be that's actually the case.

[TitoFan]

You know, Mike.... this is one of those cases where "I cheated drug tests" would have sufficed.

[Gandalf]

No surprises there really, though the fake penis is a bit novel.

What a bizarre thing to be convinced of, in a nutshell: "Tyson showed a little emotion once so he must have been raped repeatedly". There is zero evidence to support that claim, it is merely a bunch of assumptions.

If Tyson was raped he would have said by now, he doesn't seem one for keeping secrets until the grave.

Theres zero evidence that he wasn't
No one knows if he did or didnt , I just got a feeling he did.
