Former UFC fighter and MMA analyst Chael Sonnen said four-time National Basketball Association (NBA) champion LeBron James is using dope.
If the world understood what LeBron did ... If you knew how performance enhancers work, you would understand that it makes a difference. We had the same supplier, I know exactly what he does. Erythropoietin works, which is why LeBron takes it. EPO increases the number of red blood cells, and that increases stamina so you can play the whole match.

Sonnen, 45, finally ended his career as a fighter in the summer of 2019 after his loss to Lyoto Machida at Bellator 222. He has a total of 31 wins, 17 losses and one draw.
LeBron James, 38, became the highest-scoring player in NBA history this past February, breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record with 38 points in a home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Recall that LeBron is a player of Los Angeles Lakers.
