"We use the same drug dealer to buy our EPO" - When Chael Sonnen nonchalantly accused LeBron James of using PEDs on Patrick Bet-David's show
Chael Sonnen once casually accused LeBron James of using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). 'King James' is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in NBA history, known for his unparalleled athleticism and recognized as one of the most accomplished athletes globally.
However, former UFC title challenger Sonnen, renowned for his outspoken trash-talking, asserts that James' extraordinary physical abilities are not entirely natural, but rather the result of a particular steroid regimen he allegedly uses.
During an appearance on Patrick Bet-David's PBD Podcast in March, Sonnen boldly claimed that he and James use the same drug dealer to acquire Erythropoietin (EPO), a banned substance often employed to boost endurance:
"And he and I have one thing in common, we use the same drug dealer to buy our EPO. And I don't see anything wrong with that... It was something called EPO. And in the world of performance enhancing drugs, in my experience, EPO is king."
'The American Gangster' further said that the endurance boost from EPO could explain James' remarkable ability to sustain peak performance well into the later stages of his NBA career:
"I'm sharing that if you want to get a basketball and you want to make it to 38, you want to be the MVP of the league, you can't just go do certain things."

Chael Sonnen surprisingly backs LeBron James in Diddy controversy
LeBron James' alleged connection to Sean Combs, better known as P. Diddy, has placed him under intense public scrutiny, especially amid the music producer's legal troubles involving serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
However, rather than directly responding to the accusations, 'King James' opted to take personal time away from the Los Angeles Lakers, fueling considerable conjecture about the real purpose behind his hiatus.
In an unexpected turn, Chael Sonnen recently took to X to support James' decision to remain quiet on the issue. 'The American Gangster' praised James for choosing to withhold comment until more information comes to light:
"His exact words were, 'I am not going to make a statement until I see what comes out publicly,' and while people may not like that, it was possibly the most honest response to any question in the history of ever. Prior to Diddy being placed in bracelets, he made the statement 'no party like a Diddy party.'"
