Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen accused basketball player LeBron James of using EPO
Former fighter of the Ultimate Fighting Championship Chael Sonnen accused the American basketball player “Los Angeles Lakers” LeBron James of doping. His words are quoted by Sportskeeda.
“If the world understood what LeBron did. If you knew how performance enhancers work, you would understand that it matters,” Sonnen said, emphasizing that he knew what he was talking about because they had the same supplier.
Sonnen stated that James is taking erythropoietin (EPO). “EPO increases the number of red blood cells, and this increases endurance, and you can play the whole match,” the fighter explained the effect of the drug.
On February 8, 38-year-old James became the leading scorer in the history of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He broke former Lakers player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s career scoring record. At the moment, he has 38450 points.
James is a four-time NBA champion (2012, 2013, 2016, 2020). He was named MVP of the regular season and playoffs four times. As part of the US team, the athlete won the Olympic Games in 2008 and 2012.
