So did you see anabolic steroids becoming the it topic at the tail end of 2022? I’ll be honest, I did not. I thought vein poppin’ spray tanned big ol’ muscles were a relic of 1988 and, while they might still exist in odd subcultures, would not be major surf news. But here we are and all thanks to Brian Johnson.
Johnson, better known as the Liver King, recently came out as a steroid user, shocking his many fans who had believed that he had crafted his arms, chesty, abominables through the consumption of raw animal guts and raw animal guts alone.
It turns out that he lied, was on steroids and continues to be on them so as to help young men not commit suicide.
While professional surfers became intently curious if these blast from the past hormone boosters could help them paddle battle harder or maybe strengthen the spine and allow for dropping into Teahupo’o, notable surf personality interviewer Joe Rogan has made it his recent mission to publicly out potential users who are keeping their secret secret.
He began with Conor McGregor, declaring that his urine would burn a hole in the drug testing cup, before turning to Hawaii’s Snicker King Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson saying, “The Rock should come clean right now. He should make a video in response to the ‘Liver King’ video. I need to talk to you because The Rock’s been lying. There’s not a f—ing chance in hell he’s clean. Not a chance in hell. As big as The Rock is, at 50? He’s so massive, and he’s so different than he was when he was 30. There’s a responsibility you have to people who are listening to you. If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s one thing. But if you do talk about it, there’s a responsibility you have to people listening to you and I think you have to be honest about it, which is why I’m honest about it. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking hormone replacement.”
But what do you think about that?
Will it scare Filipe Toledo off or no?
I think it shouldn’t as Rogan casts no moral judgement and it doesn’t appear that the World Surf League has a serious testing program.
Time to unleash the lion.
