Over the years, many fans have assumed that steroids contributed to Scott Steiner‘s drastic transformation into “Big Poppa Pump” during his WCW run. Steiner maintained his incredible physique into his time in WWE as well.
Scott Steiner was recently featured on A&E Biography: WWE Legends, and he addressed the accusations of steroids. (H/t Jeremy Lambert of Fightful for the transcription)
“You can make all the accusations you want,” Steiner said. “I’ve never failed a drug test,” “Take that information and do what you want with it. When I made the transition from Steiner Brothers to Big Poppa Pump, I wanted to get in the best shape I possibly could. A lot of strict diet. Once you are leaner, you’re naturally going to look bigger.”
Scott Steiner has maintained that he never failed a drug test, as he said the same thing in a past interview with Slam Sports.

“You’ve gotta let it go, you can’t harbor all the bad feelings. You’ve gotta grow up,” Scott said.
