Boxing legend “Iron” Mike Tyson revealed his secret to passing drug tests during his illustrious career that spanned from 1985-2005.
On his Hotboxin podcast, Tyson told fans about his “Whizzinator,” a prosthetic penis that held a storage bag built in it – to store someone’s urine.
The now 54-year-old former heavyweight champion has been open about his former cocaine and weed days during his career. He explained how he used his baby’s urine and eventually wife’s urine and storing it inside his “Whizzinator” to pass the drug tests during his career. Tyson told UFC’s Vice President of Athlete Health and Performance, Jeff Novitzky, “One time I was using my wife’s [urine] 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 piss might come back pregnant.”
Tyson is not the only person to have used the “Whizzinator” to pass drug tests. Former NFL player running back Onterrio Smith used one in 2005, but unlike Tyson, he was caught.
