Renzo Gracie: ‘Everybody’s taking steroids’

“Everybody is taking (steroids). The difference is that Anderson probably lost control of when the substance would be out of his body. Fighters who don’t use (PEDs) can’t compete in this sport. There are some exceptional guys, like Frankie Edgar and Chris Weidman. Those two never took anything. I watch them closely. Everybody takes (steroids), except them. But they are rare cases.”

“I don’t understand much about steroids, but I heard that substance is hard to catch. For whatever reason, [Silva] was caught. I don’t know if he took it longer than he should. The problem with those things is that you develop an addiction, both physically and psychologically.”

In a new interview with Tatame.com, Renzo Gracie touched on the PED problem in MMA by revealing everyone does it.

Do you think he’s right?
