More Trouble for Tyson

Wednesday August 17, 2005
It's always hard to separate fact from fiction with Mike Tyson. While vacationing in Italy, Tyson has been fined for riding a jet ski too close to shore and without a helmet. Seems to be fact. A boat ferrying a group of people to Tyson's yacht almost sank because it was overloaded. An exaggeration perhaps, but seems to be based on fact. Police are questioning the former champ after a woman claimed Tyson grabbed her off a dance floor, dragged her to his yacht and pummeled her when she refused to indulge in sex and drugs. Who knows what category this one belongs in? Just another week in the life of Mike Tyson, who seems to be living the life of luxury -- especially for a washed-up ex-fighter who declared bankruptcy in 2003.
