UFC Quick Quote: Brock Lesnar is sick and tired of the steroid allegations

"I’ve been accused of using steroids my entire life, probably since the tenth grade in high school… I’ve never failed a drug test. Now if I was a black guy and I looked the way I do would I get asked this question a 100 times? I just happen to be a white guy that has some great genetics, so I guess that puts a bullseye on me… I’m a white dude that’s shredded and you don’t see a lot of it -- a guy that’s walking around that looks like me."

-- UFC heavyweight title contender Brock Lesnar tells Larry Pepe on Pro MMA Radio last night about how he feels regarding the allegations that he is/was a steroid user -- allegations that have apparently followed him for well more than a decade. Lesnar is a massive specimen, weighing near 285 pounds these days and cutting down to the heavyweight division limit of 265 pounds around fight time. He will challenge heavyweight champion Randy Couture for his division title at UFC 91: "Couture vs. Lesnar" on November 15. It's important to note that Lesnar has recently been tested by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) for illegal/banned substances and passed with flying colors. Lesnar and other competitors on the card will also be test on or around fight night. We'll have more on Lesnar's appearance on Pro MMA Radio shortly.

What does being white have to do with it?

by ViolentMike on Nov 4, 2008 4:10 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

as racist as it may sound mike, look at black dudes and white dudes! Black guys are more muscular naturally than white guys. I think it was a true statement made by brock!

he has never touched steroids, hgh yes but never steroids!

picky picky roy, i agree and have said so in the past!

i am just messing around actually i hate talking about steroids unless the have a proven failed test, i do think that upwards of 70% of fighters have are are doing steroids but i would rather them get away with it than acuse someone of taking them who hasn’t.when they get caught with a test than let tham have it.

Yes Brock, and we call this Roid Rage.

Notice how brock specifically said he “never failed a drug test”, which is totally different from “i’ve never taken steroids”. Brock, youre such a user. And yes, how do you explain all that roid rage if you aren’t on roids???

by cbchwa on Nov 4, 2008 7:06 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I was going to say the exact same thing. It’s not just this time, he always says, “he never failed a test”,rather than saying, “I have NEVER taken steroids”.

Ok, so never failing a drug test does not equal never using the drugs.

I bet in his WWE days, he was juicing.

by jd on Nov 4, 2008 9:14 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I bet he has a some stage, have a look at him in WWE and look at him now, he’s no where near as lean. Also, most steroid users have a big roll of skin and fat behind there neck, this is a sure sign. Whats that behind his neck. He might not be doing it now, but he definately has at some stage and I reckon there are heaps more that are hiding it.

by Mr Potato on Nov 5, 2008 12:35 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Oh jeez. Here we go.

Race has nothing to do with muscularity.

Skin tone has EVERYTHING to do with muscularity. Why do you think bodybuilders are all tanned hmm? It’s because darker skin colours make muscles stand out more, or look more defined. Especially when they grease up with oil for posing in competition.

In the case of a Ronnie Coleman, he obviously doesn’t have to tan, but if you look at Arnold’s Mr. Universe run, he was always tanned in those days when competing.

moreover plantation owners prefered forcing large men to procreate with large women (better field “workers”) and lighter skinned males with lighter skinned females (more presentable in the home), as sick as it is.

White guys are just as big, black guys have a different muscle make. White guys can swim faster because we’re made different but black guys can run faster and thats got something to do with there achilles being shorter or longer. Black guys aren’t naturally stronger or bigger, look at some of our scandinavian friends, those guys are massive and if black guys are naturally bigger what’s going on in Ethiopia and other surrounding countries. Those guys are skinny as

The man does have a point, and If I were him I would be pissed about the steroid questions also. Its a shame that guys like Baryy Bonds ruined it for all the other athletes.

I try not to accuse fighters, until they prove to f ail drug tests.

by john on Nov 4, 2008 5:00 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

yeah john, but you put on blinders for guys you like. Alves used a diuretic that is used to mask steroids and you still say he’s clean. I respect your point, but you need to not contradict yourself. If he didn’t use the diuretic, he would have popped, but it was less severe for not being steroids. IMO any failed drug test should be a 9 month-1year suspension. Any failed test after that should result in a lifetime ban! If a guy doesn’t learn a lesson after a year with no competition and pay, he doesn’t deserve to tarnish my sport or any sport for that matter anymore!!!

by kevin on Nov 4, 2008 5:09 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

i agree with you to a point kevin and i don’t like to play naive but diuretics can be used to cut weight,you are right they are used to mask test and usually when caught with them it is considered a dirty test, but alves does have to drop alot of weight to make ww so i dout he is still using if he ever was but when you catch him red handed than call him a user.

by roy on Nov 4, 2008 5:44 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Exactly roy. Thats why I give alves the benefit of the doubt. I read a new interview with Alves yesterday that says he goes into the weigh ins at 171 lbs, but fights at 198 lbs. Thats a TREMENDOUS weight cut and like Roy pointed out Diuretics can be used for the weight cut. THats why I give Alves the benefit of the doubt. when he fails a drug test for ROIDS, feel free to crucify him. Until then, its really a shame to taint the name of a young bright star like Alves. People need to lay off the accusations, thats all I am saying. People accuse fighters of roids with no PROOF and it sucks. People accused wandy n shogun for years simply because PRIDE didnt test for drugs…Thats really messed up. Innocent till proven Guilty….Thats just my two cents, but I hear you guys and respect what you are saying. But us bloggers go crazy for this sport and we should want it to expand. unjustly accusing fighters of drug use, wont help the CAUSE!

MMA REVOLUTION Baby! Lol, just being silly!

when I defend mma to all the haters, I take great PRIDE in the harsh penalties and extensive drug tests that our beloved athletes go through. It just drives me crazy to see fighters names get slandered like this without proof!

Black and latino guys are more muscular than white guys. That’s an unpopular reality but it’s true.

by Pug on Nov 4, 2008 6:13 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I disagree about the latino men. I live in NY, hang in the Bronx a lot, Latino men are no more naturally muscular than whites. Black AMERICANS, on average but not all, usually are.

There is a reason, it’s called the “Middle Passages”. Only the strong physcially could survive that, and slavery in general. Notice that African men aren’t as muscular on average as African American men. If you took the average white dude, and white MMA figthers and football players (what I’m getting at is strong white guys), and put them through that in the millions…who would you put money on coming out on average and passing on their genes.

Sorry, but its true. That’s just history and science.

by Damn on Nov 4, 2008 10:21 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Latino people do tend to be fairly strong, and sometimes cut, but not overly muscular. Many are rather small. Just look at boxing’s weight classes. The small classes are filled to the brim with latino fighters, but there are very few heavyweights.

by naturalshadow on Nov 4, 2008 11:07 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Damn, name the “science” that it supposedly is because in my opinion you are talking out yer ass. All the stuff about slaves being bred stronger is crap. I don’t believe scientist have found a strong gene, correct me if I’m wrong. Living in California I have seen lots of fat black, white, and brown people.

by FightinRoundtheWorld on Nov 5, 2008 8:22 AM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Dude, learn basic genetics and history. Also, read my comment over again. I never said they were “bred strong”, I referred to natural selection that did that. If a small white man was competing with Brock Lesnar in the survival game through what slaves went through, who do you think would live longer, being better able to fight off disease, famine, overworking, etc?

It wouldn’t be the non-athletic guy, it would be brock lesnar. Who would breed with a white woman like, say, Brooke Hogan (look at her father). Now what do you think the baby wuold look like?

by Damn on Nov 5, 2008 1:16 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

actually they were “bred strong.” slave owners would “breed” the biggest male with a big female in hopes of getting bigger, stronger offspring. It’s a fact!!

by kevin on Nov 5, 2008 1:32 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Actually it’s ANOTHER MYTH that black guys are more muscular! That being said, Brock is 100% correct about the stereotype!

He was not being racist, he is just telling the truth………..except for him not being on steroids! lol

Let’s not forget that blacks take steriods too! DUH! Although I bet some simpletons will read this post and disagree!

by Bla Bla on Nov 8, 2009 11:44 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

kevin aka simpleton,

Blacks are NOT more muscular! Race is NOT an issue when it comes to muscle! ONLY SIMPLETONS WOULD DISAGREE!

Yes, skin color does aid in the appearance of muscle size. Example: Bodybuilders tan before a show to look more ripped and bigger. That is a reason blacks, due to dark skin, appear to look bigger. Obviously the myth itself seems to be the main reason that belief continues to stick.

by Bla Bla on Nov 8, 2009 11:50 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

I guess Brock is under the impression that only black guys can get “ripped” (which he is NOT…I might add), because they (and he) have “great genetics”…the rest of us white guys must have bad genetics.

I hate this clown.

Juicing does NOT add or improve your skill set, so who cares?

Example : Leben, Chris.

Most athletes juice at one time or another.

I still like Alves, Leben, Brock, Sherk, etc.

And Brock, keep the racial demographic theories to yourself.

Same thing to all of the “race genetic genuises” posting here.

When one of you gets an MD/PHD in bio-genetics then drop some knowledge…

Keep it to MMA.

He is such a 1 dimensional idiot I hope Randy hurts him maybe then he will stop speaking in 3rd person. Then put big Nog against him and get him out of the UFC he can then train with Kimbo at backyard BBQ’s for money.

by Qmonster on Nov 4, 2008 4:45 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

listen, I have no doubt in my mind he’s juiced in the past, zero! But he is noticeably not as ripped as he used to be. this leads me to believe he is no longer juicing. there is a difference between wwe and mma, wwe is entertainment, you don’t see as many “fat” wrasslers anymore (like when I was a kid). I would say 80%+ of wwe guys juice. They are on the road 300 days a year, and I think it would be impossible to get those physiques while always traveling and keep them without a little help.
Alves on the other hand failed, yes it was a diuretic that masks steroids, but lets not be ignorant and stupid and put 2 and 2 together.
as far as some of you saying steroids or performance enhancing drugs don’t help, go troll somewhere else, or read a book or article on steroids. If they didn’t help or give an edge, why would anyone use them? why hasn’t anyone hit 65+ home runs lately? Don’t be ignorant or try to disagree on things that aren’t opinion!

test gives you an insane mental and physical advantage. The differnce in what you can do in the gym is crazy. I would never recommend doing them, but the only way you can fully understand is to do them. I did a 10 week cycle, 1cc of test per week. Went from 150 t0 185. Afeter I stopped juice for a while i lost ten lbs. but the rest I kept. This was about 4 yrs ago. Of course I was working out 5 days a week and taking protein shakes in between meals.

by James S on Nov 4, 2008 5:49 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

James, that’s one thing many don’t realize, the mental advantage. I would say it would be equal to or greater than the physical advantage. Out of all the different sports out there, I would say a fighter would benifit the most by taking steroids.

When HGH is detectable he’ll be singing a different tune…..along with 50% of all fighters.

by introvert on Nov 4, 2008 4:16 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

it is detectable, with blood tests. I think EVERY athlete should have to submit 2 blood samples a year, 6 months apart. the only problem is cost, but that is total BS in my opinion. look at what the average athlete makes, then look at your elite stars. I’m guessing they could take 1% of the average pay for all professional athletes, and it would more than cover testing for pros and college sports. It’s all a cop out for a few simple reasons. americans like home runs, heads over rims and big hits in football. If they all of a sudden started testing everyone for ALL substances, the games would be back to being played like the 1980’s…
THE RIGHT WAY!!!!

by kevin on Nov 4, 2008 4:21 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

You’re right (the blood test thing)…I should have clarified that it isn’t detectable by just pee tests.

If the UFC wants to act like they are “doing their own testing”, but not testing for the most common steroid on the market, they are just playing everyone for fools by not doing blood tests.

HGH is a natural product produced by your pituitary gland. there are no levels of it marking an illegal substance at all. there not really considered a “steroid” of sorts or performance enhancement drug. HGH can do two things increase muscle mass or increase height. so it 50/50 deal. HGH is labeled as a supplement in herbal medicine. Now there is a synthetic injection available to you but it can only be made available thru prescription of a doctor and Medical board are highly scrutinizing when ever it is prescribed. Now we cant get into the side effects of using it. which alot of fighter show no signs of only case i can see is Antonio Silva.

Mentioned here are just some of the known side effects of the undue use of HGH.
- Acromegaly (as described in detail above)
-
Premature death (in case of acromegaly)
- Heart enlargement (due to prolonged use of HGH. Can’t be reversed)
-
Low blood sugar with risk of going into a diabetic coma
- Excessive hair growth all over the body
-
Excessive water retention**
- Liver damage**
-
Thyroid damage**

**These 3 reasons specifically is why its redundent to use as a performance enhancer….water retention makes it much harder and more dangerous to cut weight 24 hrs prior to a fight. thyroid as well will cause abnormal surges in water weight and fat retention. liver damage..is just simple to see and detect and will also have severe effects to your bodies ability to produce fresh blood than can carry oxygen to your lungs.

My guess would be about 80% of fighters 185lbs and up.

Go ahead and hate me for saying it, but I believe GSP, Brock, Alves, Kongo, Rampage, Wandy, Coleman, (many others) get “help” by some form of HGH.

by introvert on Nov 4, 2008 4:40 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

GSP and Rampage don’t look like they juice at all, come on now, I know 10-15 guys built like GSP, who don’t juice. You’re really not paying attention or you’re a poor judge of character if you think a guy like GSP would get any satisfaction from cheating. Just because a guy is a little muscular, doesn’t mean he’s cranking. However, Brock, Alves and Colman are MORE than a little muscular. Guys with tallent and good genetics like GSP don’t have to juice. It’s guys like Leben and Franca (who don’t have the genetics) that feel they need to.

i will say that franca claimed to use due to an injury and he tried to back out of the sherk fight, but dana,pretty much, would not let him back out(it was a little before the lw division got stacked). im not condoning what he did, but i have noticed latley that dana has been letting guys back out of fights on short notice with injuries instead of pressuring them to fight. as far as leben goes, he has no excuses.

I am full blown pride Pothead.. through the good and the bad times of my life.. pot has been there for me. I have had numerous drug tests for jobs in the past and I have come up “0” times positive for weed..I would go as far as burning a leaf the night of my drug test..

Do they hold your dick in the cup? Because if they don’t , you could have one of your (clean) buddies piss in a bladder with a little hose on it and stick it in your shorts. The guy is standing right behind you as you (make it look like you)piss in the cup. I think they make them with batteries in them to keep the piss warm, to really make it seem legit. This is just one of the MANY ways to beat the test.

i dout it kevin, normally i would say yeah they where steroids or hgh and they dropped the charges to cover up for a high profile college athlete but they where pills and where tested if it was something injectable i would say no dout it was.of course steroids come in pill but any pro athlete using isn’t going to mess with that when they could use the injectable for the same crime.

Ofcourse he has used steroids; you’ll notice he said: “I’ve never failed a drug TEST”, and did NOT say: “I’ve never taken steroids”….

We all know pro wrestlers (WWE, etc) take them!

Not that it matters now anyways, if he’s testing clean, then he’s clean, plain and simple. He’s just sick of hearing it now that he no longer uses… eventhough I do think it’s total BS that he says/implies that he NEVER used steroids, yeah right Lesnar!

He always answers the question, “I have never failed a drug test.” Why not just say, I never used steroids? The answer is very obvious on the E60 episode when he gets up and walks away before the question is even finished being asked.

I love how any athlete who HAS used performance enhancing drugs (steroids or HGH) always always always claim that they have never failed a drug test. Guilty people are always extremely quick to point that out. Just because you do not ever fail drug tests doesn’t mean that you do not use steroids. THEY CALL IT CYCLING FOR A REASON. CYCLE FOR 6 WEEKS, GET CLEANED UP AND TAKE TEST.

Until he fails a test I don’t think he’s used. I think he is smaller now due to the difference in training between the WWE and MMA. While in the WWE he probably focused more on his muscle building than anything else and now for mma that is probably the least of his focus. I just don’t like to accuse or make assumptions on what I think I do or don’t know.

Some of these comments are a joke. Some of you have no clue. I have been a nutrionist and a Health Teacher for 13 years. What amazes me is that people think that Black and White are still the same genetically. The amount of fast twitch muscle fibers is far greater in the Black athlete. It is not racist, it is true. Also, go back and look at Brock’s college pictures. He has always been huge. He was not on steriods in college and HGH was not even on the scene when he was in high school or JC. He is a huge freak of nature. That does exist clean, trust me.

All true. Well said. Brock was a monster at 16. Check out the photos! He may well have been on steroids during his WWE tenure. Its common knowledge that they pretty much all use. They have to, they’re on the road 300 days a year.

He probably isn’t now since he doesn’t need any additional strength or power advantage, he’s already the most dynamic mma fighter. What he needs is skills. I think the whole roids thing with Lesnar is a non issue. He is actually a freak of nature. Look at the size of him back in 1999 in the NCAA.

Still I take a firm stance on cheats. 2nd offence = life ban.

I’m disgusted by the cheats and I assure you an awful lot of them are on illegal performance enhancing substances. I don’t want to throw out names but it’s not to difficult to figure out who the main culprits are. Some of them I have zero respect for. Why can’t they all be like BJ lol? Got to love his stance on the users.

I’m sorry but you are very incorrect. Black and white genes are identical. You could not look at the gene sequence for a white person and be able to tell the difference between theirs and a black person. Maybe you teach health in Utah or Nebraska or something where they also still refuse to accept evolution.

He really should have known better than to bring race into this. A lot of black sports stars have been targeted for steroid use. Hell, the most prominent example, black or white, is Barry frickin’ Bonds. I think a more adequate measure of being targeted for steroid use involves fame or achievement. Someone like Bonds gets a lot of attention for steroids because he is famous and has various record achievments. The same with Brock.

to question a guy who has never had a positive test is very unfair

there is nothing wrong nor racist about his statement about black people having better genetics in terms of building muscle than a lot of white folk

its to do with coming from a line of manual labourers, and therefore evolving in such a way that future generations were stronger and better at what they did

the genetic freak white males that you see are frequently from a long line of farmers ie brock and matt hughes

if you are going to hate on guys that use performance enhancers and are cheaters atleast direct your hate toward those who test positive… to question a guy who is 100#% innocent until a test proves otherwise is ludicrous

if he did ever take anything in wwe days then its none of our business… guys like bonnar sherk franca sylvia etc who have been tested positive are all back in the cage within a year… so to try to drag up things that he might of used several years ago is completely unfair

when hes the world heavyweight champion you better start showing him some respect

The WWE wanted and encouraged their meatheads to take steriods, and Vince Mccan never tested his guys anyway, and we he had to if the wrestler failed the test all he said if it was prescribed by a doctor it was ok and not a reason to be fined or suspended. If anyone thinks that Lesnar never took roids give your head a shake.

From, what I hear, Vince and the WWE staff don’t push steroids and illegal substances on their performers. What they do is they just give the bigger, more cut performers a bigger “push” (more TV time, better pay). More likely than not, these guys are the ones on steroids. It’s like a boss who doesn’t ask female employees for “favours”, but promotes the ones who do!

i dont give a rats ass whether he juiced in wwe or not, as long as he’s not doing it now im happy. on the racsist note, imagine if a black man had said somerthing similar about whites we would all go “hell ya, tell it like it is brotha” but if a white person even say black he is a racsist. if anything think of it as a compliment that black men tend to look more cut. look at the rampage/griffin fight. skinny tall white guy vs muscle man rampage.

Did anyone listened to 1st half of the show?

It’s the stupides thing I have heard – “yeah lets pay guys like 40K for 1st round finish, 30K 2nd round, 20K 3rd round”

So if it is championship then 10K 4th & 0 for 5th round finish???

IMHO – it does not matter as much which round they finish the fight – but they finish; 3rd round KO can be as satisfying (sometimes even more) than 1st round finish.

Though I agree that UFC should pay more aggressively for KO finishes (etc you will only get win bonus if you finish the fight – otherwise your bonus money is going to be shared by guys who did finish their opponents).

Although I have many things to say about DW – idiot is not one of them & hopefully he will figure out the way to deliver more exciting fights with great finishes soon (a’la pay Brock or Randy big bucks to avoid 5 round decision)

Brock uses steroids thats for sure, we should ask him how he manages to clear drug tests everytime.That in itself is an amazing feat. The only time he could have done steroids and got away with it was in wwe(that i can understand).But how he did that in college, nfl and now in ufc is just brilliant. But Arnold did steroids as did the other bodybuilders of his time. That doesnt mean that he was that good only because of steroids. Steroids can only help you peak for a competition and cannot be the reason you why you are so good. Hard work and genetics play the most important role and not steroids in making super muscle.
