DWAYNE JOHNSON TALKS ABOUT STEROID USE

DWAYNE JOHNSON TALKS ABOUT STEROID USE The talk of steroid use has moved from sports to the entertainment industry. Some people would wonder why those in show business are being asked for comment on a subject that has more popularity in the field of bodybuilding and athletics. But then consider the fact that there have been several athletes that have crossed over from professional sports to showbiz. Dwayne Johnson is one of them and proves that in reality there is no delineation between sports and showbiz when you talk about steroids.

In an interview with MTV, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson admits to have used steroids when he was playing in college football for the Miami Hurricanes. His reason was not to enhance his performance but out of curiosity. From college football he became World Wrestling Entertainment’s biggest stars.

From MTV.com:

That was around the time that Johnson was a defensive lineman for the University of Miami Hurricanes, where he was part of the 1991 National Championship team. After a short stint in the Canadian Football League, Johnson gave pro wrestling a go, and eventually became one of World Wrestling Entertainment’s biggest stars.The WWE has experienced numerous steroid scandals, from the suspension of 10 wrestlers for drug-policy violations in 2007 to the suspected steroid-related deaths of stars Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit.

“It’s not as prevalent today in our sports as it was 10 years ago,” Johnson said. “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.”

Johnson further laments that there are still a lot of athletes attracted to steroids despite the sanctions and the attention that media was giving them. He says that it is important to teach children the value of hard work and the dangers involving the use of performance enhancing drugs.
