Chael Sonnen has come out with big claims, stating he knows what Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) LeBron James is taking

Chael Sonnen has come out with big claims, stating he knows what Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) LeBron James is taking.

The former UFC fighter is known for his 'out of the world' claims and predictions about combat sports fighters and athletes. While on the Flagrant podcast hosted by Andrew Schulz and Akaash Singh, he spoke about the effect of PEDs and claimed to know what drugs the NBA's all-time leading scorer James takes:

"If the world understood what LeBron did....If you know what these performance enhancers did, then you would know why it does matter. We have the same drug guy, I know exactly what he's doing.
"EPO (Erythropoietin) matters, it's the reason LeBron takes it, it matters. EPO increases your red blood cells, which gives you endurance so you can play all game long."
Sonnen claimed that LeBron James uses EPO, a banned substance for NBA athletes. This goes alongside the criticizms that the league faces for their 'soft' anti-doping tests and measures. There has never been a PED controversy in the NBA, which many attribute to the 'lenient' testing of their players.Chael Sonnen also went on to claim that since he is not competing anymore, he does use PEDs to stay in shape and youthful.


This week, James was hit with another accusation of PED use, this time by former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen. In fact, Sonnen was on Flagrant 2 with Andrew Schultz, where he claimed to have the same PED guy as LeBron. This means that they allegedly get their drugs from the same person. Overall, this is a claim that Sonnen has made in the past. Although, he has never actually given concrete proof of this. Either way, Schultz was fascinated by the assertion, and it led to some discourse about PEDs in the sports world.

The NBA is a league that does random drug tests on its players and very rarely does anyone get hit with a positive test. After all, the NBA is a far cry from baseball where it feels like a superstar is being hit with a PED suspension every single season. Regardless, Sonnen has people talking, and we’re sure LeBron does not appreciate it.


“EPO matters. It’s the reason LeBron takes it. It matters. … EPO increases your red blood cells, which gives you endurance so you can play all game long. It’s the king of performance enhancers.”

The big thing here, however, is that Chael Sonnen isn’t exactly the most reputable source. There’s no doubt LeBron James uses the cutting edge medical and physical treatments to keep his billion-dollar body fresh with age, but dipping his toes in PED use is a completely different category. With these serious allegations Sonnen is dropping in such a casual manner, it’s easy to take his word with a grain of salt.

It’s also banned for use by NBA players, according to Fansided. So, not only is Sonnen accusing LeBron James of juicing, he’s specifically saying LeBron takes a banned substance.

That’s a very serious claim Sonnen made, backed up only by insisting that he and LeBron share the same drug guy. If you’re going to publicly accuse someone of taking a drug that could derail their career, you better back it up with a bit more. 

Sonnen pinpointed EPO, which is meant for red blood cell stimulation for those with certain medical conditions such as kidney failure or anemia, as LeBron’s supposed drug of choice that he says keeps King James fresh up until the fourth quarter.
