• Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen publicly accused LeBron James of using EPO and other performance-enhancing drugs, claiming they share the same supplier.

• Sonnen alleged that EPO boosts red blood cell count, giving athletes the stamina to play full games at a high level.

• No proof has ever been provided. LeBron has never failed a drug test, and the NBA has taken no disciplinary action.

• Despite the lack of evidence, rumors persist due to LeBron’s elite durability and physical performance, even into his late 30s.

• Other figures, like Kevin Garnett, have alluded to PED use, but again with no proof and often in offhand or indirect comments.

• Back in 2013, a Biogenesis clinic scandal linked a friend and a former trainer of LeBron to doping allegations—but LeBron himself was never named or investigated.

  3. Jeff Teague is out here risking his entire career earnings on a defamation lawsuit from Bron.

  7. I assume literally everyone in the NBA is juicing. They don’t even fail guys on drug tests for show occasionally like the NFL.

  8. Anybody into bodybuilding already knew. Hell most “genetically gifted” NBA players have gotten on a stack before

    Your deltoids don’t just suddenly pack on triple the amount of muscle mass in your 20s without some gear

  12. There’s been rumblings about this for a while. Around the time that he started getting really jacked, he had a growth removed from his jaw. That’s when I remember the steroid talk first coming out, since it is a side effect of it.

  13. I mean I’m the biggest bron fan but Miami were listing him at 250. Fuck off. He was at least 280. Mf was so big centers couldn’t post him up. It was 280 pure muscle I don’t think it’s actually achievable.

  14. As a huge ufc fan myself, PLEASE do not use Chael sonnen as your source or reasoning on any legitimate claim you plan on making

  15. All of a sudden he came back skinny?

    LeBron was just gaining speed for Yokozuna.

  16. black suits bout to show up to 520 doorsteps. Only to be greeted by all black Air Force 1s 

  17. It’s over for Teague, them black Klutch SUVs prolly surrounding his crib rn

  23. Funniest was when he went from super jacked in Miami then looked like he went on Ozempic when he came home to Cleveland

  25. Jeff Teague had to delete his IG when he pushed Bron

    I wonder what will happen this time around…👀

    Edit: He said he was just joking (refer to his IG story)
    Yeahhh, someone from LeBron’s camp probably called him 😂

  27. There are 2 types of top tier professional athletes: those who are on gear, and those that are between cycles.

  28. I fully believe that Lebron is on PEDs and I do not care at all. I think most of the top players are on PEDs and have been for a long time.

  30. If you don’t think the highest level athletes are taking PEDs, you’re mad. Bro has been in the NBA longer than he hasn’t.

  31. I don’t know how this is a story.

    Look at LeBron. That man has clearly done PEDs. What are we even doing here? I thought it was like the worst kept secret and everyone just didn’t care as long as he kept balling out.

  32. Every pro athlete is on some kind of PEDs imho. The NBA is very lenient compared to WADA members and FIBA basketball though. Look at FIBA players and then look at NBA players. It’s obvious if you ask me.

  33. I feel like stories like these are always non-stories. Like no shit an elite athlete almost definitely took PEDs to make them better it’s almost a guarantee professional athletes are taking supplements of dubious legality. However, without concrete that an athlete is actually doping there’s not a lot you can do.

  35. I mean… I’ll wait until there’s evidence.. but would you *really* be surprised to hear that Bron used steroids? 😂

  37. No shit he’s on PEDs. He been uniquely durable and has played at an all NBA level into his 40’s. He also said he spends $1 million dollars per year on his body. Did you guys think he’s spending that on icy hot and tape?

  38. If anyone in this subreddit has not seen the documentary “Icarus” about the Olympics doping scandals, do yourself the biggest favor and watch it.

    It explains perfectly how all this works and how at the highest levels can almost **never** be caught. It’s fascinating.
