Dwayne Johnson has become one of the most widely recognized figures globally, particularly for his remarkable career in both WWE and Hollywood. The WWE icon has forged a unique connection with the public due to his immense charisma and prowess in various fields. However, he still incurs the wrath of combat sports fans across the world for one reason. His persistent denial of using steroids. Despite ‘The Rock’ never openly discussing steroid usage and maintaining a stance against it, Chael Sonnen refuses to believe the facade.
Recently, Johnson made an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and Chael Sonnen expressed his discontent with their conversation. Sonnen asserted that the exchange seemed awkward, especially given their friendship. Furthermore, the former UFC fighter called out ‘The Rock’ for his alleged involvement in steroid gimmicks.

Chael Sonnen recently shared his thoughts on Dwayne Johnson, addressing what he perceives as discrepancies in the WWE legend’s statements about steroid use. In a video on Sonnen’s YouTube channel, he delves into the topic, expressing skepticism about the denials made by ‘The Rock’ and his family in the face of what Sonnen claims is substantial evidence suggesting otherwise.
‘The American Gangster’ said “Steroids, which is something ‘The Rock’ has denied. His father denied it, his uncles denied it, and the whole family denied it. It’s one of those things…in all fairness, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal if you weren’t out there telling people about nutrition and telling people about your diet, telling people about your workouts.”
He further added, “As soon as you start doing that and try to influence and motivate and bring people along the journey but you lie to them about the journey, right? I mean, he’s Liver King. You’re Liver King all over again. It’s the exact same thing.”
Sonnen explained that ‘Rock’s statement of not using steroids is absurd and that the Hollywood star should take responsibility for his actions and tell the truth. The middleweight contender’s words saw a flood of reactions from the fans.

As soon as Sonnen dropped the video, fans flooded his statement and expressed their support for the former UFC fighter. Some of the comments by the fans are as follows:-
One fan questioned the notion and played down suggestions that some people actually believe that Dwayne Johnson was natural.
Who the hell believed The Rock that he didn’t take steroids ?

Furthermore, another fan added that it is evident that ‘Rock’ is on steroids.
Yeah, the Rock is so obviously on steroids it’s ridiculous.

Additionally, one fan expressed his disdain for the Hollywood star due to the plethora of false information he presents to the public.
He uses steroids, that's why his body looks like that. He even claims to be a martial artist. It's really shameful.

Another fan of ‘The Rock’ defended the WWE icon and explained his reasoning by suggesting that Johnson uses steroids but doesn’t acknowledge it because he wants to keep his followers safe.
I’m only guessing here.. The man wants to use steroids to keep up his ludicrous physique and workload, doesn’t want to encourage his millions of young fans to use steroids, so let’s not bring it up?

Another fan made a sarcastic comment suggesting that he would quit the gym if he couldn’t get as big as ‘The Rock’ without steroids.
You are telling me that the rock is on steroids? So you can't get that big w/o some juice? I'm quiting the gym

One fan added that Dwayne Johnson is completely lying about his steroid use.
100% lying about it
— Luke Ken (@LukeKenneth3) November 22, 2023
Last but not least, One user called ‘The Rock’ as the poster boy of rampant steroid usage.
Rock is the poster child for juicing bro
