Former MMA fighter Chael Sonnen, in his recent appearance on the "Flagrant" podcast, claimed that LeBron James and golf legend Tiger Woods are taking performance-enhancing drugs.
He accused both James and Woods of taking Erythropoietin (EPO) drug to boost their performances. He also said that he and James have "the same drug guy."
Sonnen also said that he and Tiger Woods consume "the big three" of Erythropoietin (EPO), along with testosterone and growth hormone, which is similar to the "Lans Armstrong diet."
The famous cyclist Lance Armstrong also took such performance-enhancing steroids, especially EPO, throughout his cycling career. This has helped him win seven Tour de France titles.
He also said, "I know exactly what James is doing," providing a number of reasons why he consumes the steroid. He also stated that Woods is the "only one golfer" who uses the same steroid as him.
Sonnen said, "EPO matters; it’s the reason LeBron takes it. It matters. EPO increases your red blood cells, which gives you endurance so you can play all game long."
He continued, "You can shoot the fourth quarter just like you shot the fourth minute. It’s the king of performance enhancers."
However, there is no evidence for Sonnen's allegations. Neither 38-year-old LeBron James nor 47-year-old Tiger Woods have ever tested positive for any PEDs throughout their careers, respectively.
