Lance speaks on Cena's possible steroid use...

I’ve been getting a ton of email wanting me to address John Cena and his claims of not ever taking Steroids. Let me start of by saying I can only SPECULATE as I don’t know John that well and he has never denied nor admitted steroid use to me. If I had to guess, which I guess I am, I’d say he’s done something be it steroids, HGH, what have you. I find it damn near impossible to believe that anyone can get that large and ripped (and he’s been a fair bit bigger in the past) without chemical assistance. That being said if I didn’t know me I likely would have said the same about me when I was in my best shape, and I know for a fact I’ve never taken ANYTHING. Perhaps he is playing semantics as I’ve only ever heard him say he’s never taken “steroids” and maybe he uses other physique enhancing drugs, or…here’s a crazy thought he could always be telling the truth. There are a few things that do support John’s claims, which certainly don’t rule out drug use but shouldn’t be over looked either. Some of the more common signs of steroid use are: body acne, frequent muscle tears, gynecomastia, and testicular atrophy. John does not have the typical back acne commonly associated with steroid use, to my knowledge he has never been sidelined with muscle tears, he has no signs of gyno (enlarged breast tissue) nor the tell tale scars from gyno removal surgery, due to his ring attire however the jury is still out on the testicular atrophy. (If he wore standard trunk we would have a much clearer idea on this front, as disturbing a picture as that is) Again these signs are not 100% proof one way or the other but playing the averages they do support his claims, at least on the steroid front. I’m not sure what side effects other common physique enhancing alternatives have such as, HGH, Insulin manipulation, or synthol. I guess it all comes down to whether you want to believe him or not. I still tend to be skeptical, a side effect of being in the wrestling business, but to be honest, I don’t really care one-way or the other.

I guess he probably took something at some point but it's too risky now.
