Ken Shamrock Used Steroids March 20th, 2008 | by Dr J This content is protected Frank Shamrock has never been one to mince words about any subject; especially not when it comes to his brother Ken Shamrock. According to a recent interview with the guys at MMAMadness.com, Frank says that Ken used steroids his whole life. MMA Madness: Steroids have become a huge issue in mixed-martial-arts. Do you think that the steroid-testing policy thats currently in place is adequate? Shamrock: No, no I dont at all. The reason why I dont is because none of the steroid policies that are in place are put in place by the companies themselves. The policies in place are the ones that are put in are put in by the commissions and they are only there to protect the state because of the states liability. If the UFC and everybody else were very serious about steroids, they would implement their own steroid policies. And I know this because 1) Ive never done steroids, but Ive seen people do it and 2) in my business and on my team there is a no-steroids and no-drugs policy and we still see tremendous success and tremendous growth. MMA Madness: You say that youve seen guys take steroids. Could you maybe give us any names? Shamrock: Sure, my brother Ken did them his whole life. MMA Madness: Really? Shamrock: Yeah. Why do you think that his mind is so fried? Why do you think he crumbles before the big fights? Hes got no psyche. He let steroids give him a false sense of security and the moment that stuff is gone hes no longer superman. Hes just a regular man. But without all the hard work and without all the belief in himself that a regular man would have if he got up to that point. Hes the only guy that Ill tell on, because hes always in trouble anyway.
On a more serious note, he's absolutely right, steroids are still a big problem. Fair play to Frank for speaking out about it.
Agreed but that wasnt my point. I didnt know Frank would go an air out his brother in public like that. Seems like a bit of a low blow to me. I guess its fairly obvious that the intense rivalry they always had was nothing more than genuine animosity. That being said Frank was a better and far smarter businessmen and fighter than Ken. I guess thats the reason why Ken still continues to fight..
