10 Most Notorious Brock Lesnar Urban Legends

2. He Has Used Performance Enhancing Drugs (Steroids)

Story: If you watch clips of Lesnar in high school, college and his early WWE years you could see he's always been a huge guy. He's maintained that size now that he's 37 years old. His peak athletic days were probably about five years ago, but he's still a monster that does extraordinary things. He's probably the most athletic professional wrestler that weighs more than 260 pounds in the history of the business. Due to his size, there have been many accusations that he's using something. These same people probably don't realize that the NCAA and UFC have drug testing while WWE says they do, but you never really know with them. In pro wrestling, if a guy uses performance enhancing drugs it doesn't matter as much as it does in a legitimate sport. It's scripted entertainment and if a guy needs help getting bigger, it's not that big of a deal. However, since Lesnar competed at a high level in college wrestling and in UFC, it's more of an issue. Why People Believe It: Look at him. He's huge. Any time somebody looks like Lesnar there will be people that think that guy is using some kind of drugs. That's the society we live in today. Should We Believe It: No. There's no proof of any steroid use in Lesnar's history. People are always going to speculate, but we know UFC athletes are tested all the time and some big names have been busted for using performance enhancing drugs, so if Lesnar was on them it really would have been a big deal. Just because a guy is huge doesn't always mean he's using something.
