Steroids have been a hot topic in MMA and many fighters have been very vocal about their use in the sport. UFC bantamweight Sara McMann recently talked about their use and was not holding back.
Sara McMann spoke about steroids in an interview and noted that she had fought many opponents that have used them in the past. The UFC bantamweight is confident the sport is not slowing down on its use.
“I can tell you, unequivocally there are people cheating, and I’ve actually fought opponents, sometimes it’s people I beat, and sometimes it’s people that I haven’t and I’ve had some of their teammates message me personally, I won’t say who but like, Hey, I don’t know if this helps or not but they definitely are doing PEDs and like it’s, it kind of breaks my heart,” McMann said in an interview with THE HANNIBAL TV (via MMANews).
Sara McMann continued to give her thoughts on PEDs and noted that she was completely against them. The UFC fighter even went as far as to say it would lead her to retire.
“Morally, I don’t think it’s okay. I don’t,” the UFC fighter said. “I don’t want to know or be friends with or support anybody who cheats. Yeah. But even more than that, people have died in MMA, you know, or brain damage or alter their life and you say, ‘Yeah, we signed a waiver, but we kind of signed the waiver expecting somebody to be on an even playing ground.
“I mean, they should start a cheater league and then they can go and just bash each other’s brains. Like, for me, I had to mentally kind of get past it. Because I had a lot of bitterness.
“I had a lot of bitterness and anger towards people who are doing that and I’m like, you know if it gets to a certain point, I really feel like a lot of my opponents are cheating or doing PEDs. I’ll just retire.”
