===Allegations of steroid and HGH use===
On February 28, 2007, Holyfield was anonymously linked to Applied Pharmacy Services, a pharmacy in Alabama that was under investigation for supplying athletes with illegal steroids and [[Growth hormone|human growth hormone]] (HGH). He denied ever using performance enhancers.<ref>[https://www.espn.com/espn/news/story?id=2782741 "Report: Athletes received illegal 'roids via online ring"]. Sports.espn.go.com (March 1, 2007).

Holyfield's name does not appear in the law enforcement documents reviewed. However, a patient by the name of "Evan Fields" caught investigators' attention. "Fields" shares the same birth date as Holyfield, October 19, 1962. The listed address for "Fields" was 794 Evander, Fairfield, Ga. 30213. Holyfield has a very similar address. When the phone number that, according to the documents, was associated with the "Fields" prescription, was dialed, Holyfield answered.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070303063754/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/02/28/holyfield/index.html "Holyfield allegedly received steroids, HGH via alias"].
