3 Rumors about Roman Reigns that were false & 2 that were true

#3 False Roman Reigns rumor: Steroid allegations in 2018

In January 2018, Roman Reigns denied allegations that he was associated with someone who had been arrested due to illegal steroid distribution.

Richard Rodriguez, a Miami gym owner, accused Reigns of having links to his $10 million steroid operation, Wellness Fitness Nutrition. He even claimed to have proof of his interactions with the WWE Superstar via text messages.

In a statement given to ESPN, Reigns clarified that he had no knowledge of the person or company involved in the allegations. He also referenced the 30-day suspension that WWE imposed on him in 2016 after he violated the company’s Wellness Policy:

“I have never heard of Richard Rodriguez or Wellness Fitness Nutrition. I learned from the mistake I made nearly two years ago and paid the penalty for it. Since then, I’ve passed 11 tests as part of WWE’s independent drug testing program,” said Reigns.

WWE introduced the Talent Wellness Program in February 2006. The company’s website states that the program is administered independently by world-renowned medical professionals. Superstars are also tested for drug and substance abuse.
