Mike Tyson was hosting his ‘Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson’ podcast along with DJ Whoo Kid. Barnes and former Phoenix Suns shooting guard Stephen Jackson aka ‘Stak’ were the guests on the show. In conversation, DJ Whoo Kid asked the duo how they avoided PED drug tests while drafted into the NBA.

In response, Barnes shared his secret to working around drug tests. He said, “So basically, what we do is, I would just go into GNC. Like yo I got to take, they recognize me. I’m like I got to take a test. What do you recommend to flush my body? So we started getting the names of the best drinks that they had.”

He also added, “So, I would pay my trainers some little money under the table. Just to give me a heads up of you know when is it.”
