The Rock Comments on Steroid Use

The Sun conducted an interview with The Rock this week, during which the former WWE champion talks about his ex-wife, fatherhood, politics, Chris Benoit and steroid use.

Regarding steroid use, The Rock said: "In terms of rampant steroid use, they're taking the appropriate steps to implement much stricter policies. An epidemic started and they had to act. We need to have a zero tolerance policy in place. We have a great responsibility as athletes, actors and celebrities to children, because we are very influential.

You know the outcome of the matches, it's a scripted television show. What I tell guys interested in getting into wrestling is you need to find a way to connect with the live audience. And you don't do that through your biceps." Rock said he avoided using steroids when he was wrestling. "I never felt I needed to do that. I never wanted to be the biggest guy. I wanted to be the most entertaining."
