On a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan weighed in on the heated debate surrounding Gordon Ryan and the use of PEDs in combat sports.
Ryan has argued that PEDs enhance athletic performance and elevate the entertainment value of sports, stating:
I just think across the board, if people want to see the best athletes, the best athletes are the ones on PEDs.
Rogan supported Ryan’s transparency about PED use, explaining:
That’s where ster*ids come in, and that’s why Gordon Ryan can train 365 days a year.
He’s open about it – like, he’s open about his use.Yeah, because they don’t test for ster*ids in Jiu-Jitsu.
So, you know, he’s a wizard, he’s like a pragmatist.
He continued:
When you have that, and then you have a genius-level IQ…
And then you have a guy who trains 365 days a year and who also works on technique constantly…That’s how you have the greatest of all time.
