Which of the different Mike Tyson's you get appears to depend on whether he is taking his meds. Has to go off them to fight. Not defending his actions, but a lot of us around here have to strike a balance between our meds and our creativity, so on that level we should be able to relate somewhat.

But to contrast defeated athletes-- would you rather be the defeated Mike Tyson, or the defeated Michelle Kwan? There is a reason, beyond her talent, why she is adored, win or lose. She lives a good life and hasn't harmed people. Tyson is reaping the results of his own decisions, however they may have been subverted by profiteers.
