Other News: Brock Lesnar talks steroids and rips WWE, weigh-in scheduled for Lashley vs. Sapp Jun 23, 2009 - 2:17:32 PM
-- Former WWE star Brock Lesnar shot down questions of him using steroids while in WWE by saying God gifted him with his genetic-freak body.
"I bet you I've taken over 60 steroid tests. In college, I had 15 random drug tests in two years. I've taken drug tests for the NFL, the WWE, the UFC. I must be pretty good at masking steroids. God gave me this body: Are you jealous of it or what? Give me a break," Lesnar told fightline.com in a story run by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
Lesnar is promoting his UFC Hvt. Title defense at the UFC 100 PPV on July 11 in Las Vegas. Typical of interviews post-WWE, Lesnar took an opportunity to rip the wrestling business.
"I was tired of trying to be who I was in the ring and then coming home for two days to be normal," Lesnar said. "They didn't allow you to be. The guys who get out are the smart ones, really and truly."
-- Friday, June 26 is the scheduled weigh-in date for the Bobby Lashley vs. Bob Sapp fight. The weigh-in is open to the public at the Treasure Bay Casino & Hotel in Mississippi starting at 6:30 p.m. local time.
Lashley vs. Sapp headlines the "Ultimate Chaos" fight card on Saturday night at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum & Convention Center. The PPV broadcast starts at 9:00 p.m. ET.
