Jailed Roman Reigns Accuser Explains How Reigns Avoided Getting Tested Positive For Substance Abuse

Richard Rodriguez, former owner of the Iron Addicts Gym in Miami, was interviewed by Jon Bravo and spoke about Roman Reigns as was one of his clients in a steroid distribution ring. His gym was raided in February of 2017, and Rodriguez is now serving time in prison. When the news first broke, Roman Reigns comments on the allegations, stating the following…

“I have never heard of Richard Rodriguez or Wellness Fitness Nutrition. I learned from the mistake I made nearly two years ago and paid the penalty for it. Since then, I’ve passed 11 tests as part of WWE’s independent drug testing program.”

Richard Rodriguez now say she will provide snippets of proof via text messages, tracking numbers and addresses where products were shipped that will be tied to each of the accused culprits, which would include Reigns. Here are highlights, courtesy of wrestlinginc.com…

On Releasing Information: “That information with us communicating with Roman via text messages will be provided to the appropriate party, which will then be disclosed prior to our documentary that’s going to be filmed soon.”

On Delivering Product so people Avoid Failed Drug Tests: “Depending on individuals’ professions, let’s give an example, basketball players, football players, wrestlers, or even regular public figures and celebrities, they all go through constant scrutiny from their followers, and even undergo rigorous testing to search for [testosterone and HGH] constantly in their bodies,” said Rodriguez. “Hence why, they take people like me, and others very well to secure that they know these procedures, and ensure that they pass them with flying colors. So often times, people might take shorter estures like a suspension-based product so it could be out of their system prior to being tested.”

On Working With Roman Reigns: “Well, we all know that WWE is a publicly traded company and they claim to possess some of the most strict testing requirements for their athletes,” said Rodriguez. “However, the harsh reality is those kind of physiques are never attainable without drugs.” He added, “you cannot walk around 250-plus pounds, four percent body fat, without using [substances]. Hence why it’s sad to see these kind of people that are considered role models mislead the public and their followers. Having worked with various wrestlers and people in other fields that are similar, one would deny utilization of these substances 100 percent of the time in hopes of salvaging their livelihood because they have nothing else going for themselves. You have to understand that many of these people expect to have a very short lifespan, first and foremost, on their profession and spending their entire life mastering one aspect of their lives. So, if they’re wrestlers, they are only great wrestlers. So, it’s imperative for them to ride it out as long as possible.”
