Maven, Jonathan Coachman & Vince Russo Never Saw Vince McMahon Push Steroids On People

Maven, Jonathan Coachman and Vince Russo have pushed back on the notion that Vince McMahon pushed steroids on people after he went on trial for doing so. McMahon was acquitted of charges of distributing steroids in 1994, and on Piers Morgan Uncensored the topic of steroids in WWE was brought up while discussing McMahon.

Writer and longtime WWE critic Phil Mushnick said he wasn’t convinced that McMahon hadn’t pushed talent to use them, which the three alumni denied ever experiencing or witnessing. You can see highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:

Maven on his steroid use: “No one from the WWE made me do it. I did it all on my own… I got a doctor’s note, I got blood work done, and I did it as safely as I possibly could, knowing full well what the ramifications later might be.”

Coachman on never seeing steroids pushed by Vince McMahon: “I was physically next to Vince more than anyone around that time from 1999 to 2008… And not once have I ever heard a conversation about steroid use, or, ‘You need to use steroids.'”

Russo on his experience with McMahon and steroids: “I sat next to Vince McMahon in a room writing TV, one-on-one with the man, hundreds of days … Never once did Vince McMahon say, ‘Oh, we’re not gonna push so-and-so because of his body.'”
