There was a massive drug bust down in Miami that was broken up in February of 2017. The man at the helm of this operation was Richard Rodriguez. DEA raided his gym called Iron Addicts in Miami for possible steroid distribution. The gym was a partnership between Rodriguez and Mike Rashid. Mike Rashid was implicated in this drug ring simply because he was co-owner of the gym and Rodriguez used it as a base of operation for his "pharmaceutical business". But Mike has insisted on his innocence and was never implicated in the arrest warrant or investigation. After the bust, Rodriguez was sent to prison and has been there ever since. He now has an interview with YouTuber Jon Bravo talking about the big name clients he was supplying these steroids too. These big name clients are allegedly actor Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, and WWE superstar Roman Reigns. Keep in mind Rodriguez has been in prison for almost a year never said a word when he got arrested and now has decided to speak out.
Here's the interview for you to listen to for yourself. I'm sorry but I don't believe it!
Now, this is a strong accusation. This can put Roman's entire future in jeopardy. However, I'm side-eyeing this story. In June of 2016, Roman was suspended for taking Adderall. A drug used to increase alertness, aggressiveness, attention, and concentration. It can also improve reaction time, especially when fatigued. If he was using steroids during that time he should've been caught. And because Roman popped positive I would imagine he's got to be one of those guys who will be randomly tested all the time. To ensure he's completely clean. It would be foolish of him to one-up the Adderall for Steroids after testing positive last year. Something in the milk ain't clean.
WWE has strict guidelines against steroid usage because of the situation with Chris Benoit. If there was even a hint of steroids in his system Roman would've been cut from the roster immediately. I don't think the WWE would risk their companies reputation for Roman Reigns. They cut Hulk Hogan IMMEDIATELY after his racist tirade and he is a WWE Hall of Famer! A flagship superstar and his legacy is a mile long! Roman hasn't even built a legacy yet so yea Triple H and the boys would drop his ass like a bad habit or he'd be subject to punishment for violating the Wellness Policy.
Until I see some proof I won't believe it. And after this report on Bleacher Report, the WWE will most likely test him now to prove he is clean.
Update: Via TMZ.com January 18, 2018
Listen According to Roman Reigns via TMZ he's been tested 11 times since he popped positive 2 years ago. He says he doesn't know that man and he has been clean ever since the Adderall incident. Per his words, if he was tested 11 times and this dude Rodriguez giving him steroids, believe me, he would've been suspended and then if it continued to happen WWE would've cut him from the roster.
