Years ago, Tyson faced a serious problem with cocaine. In a candid moment, he admitted this issue to his doctor. As the story unfolds, the former champion claims the doctor made an unexpected request during their meeting. Tyson recounted asking the doctor if there were any drugs available and if he could have some.
An incident unfolded during one of Tyson's rehab stints that added another layer to his story. He handed over the last bit of cocaine he possessed to a staff member at the facility. However, suspicions quickly arose regarding the employee's behavior after receiving it. Tyson suspects that this person might have used the substance he handed over.
The anecdote reinforces not only Tyson's battles outside of the ring but also highlights moments of incredible disbelief from an already tumultuous life journey.
