    Yes. I think he went that path, shortly before facing Tyson. IMO, he did so to ensure a cability to compete against Mike Tyson, who was so menacing anad invincible around that time.

    Evander is innocent until proven guilty. Micheal Moorer shot up two divisions and nobody says anything because it can be done.

    Yes he took steroids and yes most heavyweights and lots of other weight boxers do too. If they did regular random testing then plenty of big names would have been caught over the years.

    With them only testing after the fight it is extremely easy for a fighter to use steroids all through training camp and never get caught. Random testing is the only way to catch these guys in the act but when you have no true organization ruling over fighters it's next to impossible to catch the smarter ones. Ban a guy in Tennessee he'll go fight in Arkansas. To really hurt a fighter you have to ban him in New York and Las Vegas and most of the other states won't touch him. But then there's always overseas.

    As much as I love Mike Tyson, invincible is hardly the word I would have used to describe him at the time. Lazy is more like it.
