5 facts you didn’t know about Brock Lesnar

#2 Brock Lesnar was arrested for illegally possessing steroids

Lesnar’s mugshot

In 2001, Brock Lesnar was arrested for opening a package that contained a huge amount of steroids.

After 4 months, charges were dropped when the tests results determined that the pills that Lesnar was caught with were, in fact, growth hormones, and were actually legal.

Lesnar’s defense lawyer, Scott Cox, later cleared this misconception saying that the pills were a “vitamin type of thing”. The officers who then charged Lesnar for the illegal use of steroids were “very apologetic” after the lab tests on the pills had been released.

Brock Lesnar and steroid use will always create debate, especially within fellow professional athletes. His upcoming opponent for his UFC 200 return, Mark Hunt, heavily accuses Lesnar of being “juiced to the gills” claiming his return unjust.
