Joe Rogan: "Everyone is on steroids," and this is why

[Fighter123]

Joe Rogan believes that the steroid problem is very extensive: "The UFC and MMA in general is a steroid epidemic," Rogan said on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. "They’ve started this really stringent testing, and everybody is getting popped. They’re just getting popped left and right. It’s one of the things fighters have been saying for a long time, that everyone is on steroids, or a huge percentage."

And Rogan says that he knows why the problem exists: "Fighters will sometimes train three times a day. Maybe they’ll run, do sprints in the morning, and then they’ll do some kind of strength and conditioning in the afternoon. Then they’ll do wrestling or jiu-jitsu at night. Then they’ll vary. The next day they might do kickboxing in the morning and running in the afternoon, then weight lifting at night. But you’re talking about working out three times in a day because you have all these different skills you have to work on.

"You have to work on your wrestling, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu. There’s not enough time in the day, and there’s not enough time to recover, [so fighters take steroids]...and bang [everything improves]."

Your thoughts?

Well he isn't exactly discovering America here.

You can answer almost every other pro sport here, too.

 

[Bob Sagat]

Uh, yeah. Steroids make you able to train harder..

..and lots of fighters are getting popped for them.

shocking.

 

[swarrrm]

Add weight lifting and cardio to all the martial arts as well. And there's a lot of crossfitters in mma too (lol)

He's right. Not the "Everyone is on PEDs" part, but the "It helps fighters recover" part.

Nice Rogan, besmirch every fighter on the payroll because your hero got busted. He'd make a great Sherdogger.

JUST finished book VII!

"He gave out a victory-fart, but although this one was long and smelly, it was silent. His asshole was now a broken squeezebox that could no longer make music but only gasp."

^^Sig worthy quote IMO.

What the fuck are you talking about?

 

[Buju Banton]

Its what GSP and I have been saying all along.

 

[VitorfanBRO]

Rogan and Lorenzo FERTITA USE ROIDS. BUT THE fan boys here give them a pass because they aren't competing. Nice example guys. Rogan is 100 percent right here.

 

[mma midwest fan]

So the irony is that PED guys work longer and harder than clean guys.

 

[SherdogGoat]

In this case, being a one dimensional is a good indicator of a clean fighter

This. Rogan is the most hypocrite MMA figure.

 

[Omega Man]

Most fighters are on roids just like all the other major sports. This is nothing new. So many naive morns here that still live in their parents basement.

 

[Omega Man]

This. Rogan is the most hypocrite MMA figure.

How is he a hypocrite? He doesnt compete. What he does in his personal life is his business.

Yeah, I guess we can just shut down the heavies for a week or so until the blows over, any new thread should just be linked to this one. For explanatory purposes.
