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.

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.
