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.

‘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.
