The Rock Admits Trying Steroids

News

In an interview with MTV News, Dwayne Johnson admitted using steroids when he was a teenager.

“I tried it,” Johnson told MTV News. “Me and my buddies tried it back in the day when I was 18 or 19. Didn’t know what we were doing.”

“It’s not as prevalent today in our sports as it was 10 years ago,” Johnson added. “But we have to recognize that a culture was created where it was OK to do that, and a lot of team managers, owners, players who didn’t do it would turn the other cheek. We recognize that, and now we have to institute stronger penalties, which we are doing.”
