Jeff Teague Jokes, Retracts LeBron Steroid Claim

Former NBA guard Jeff Teague caused controversy on his Club 520 podcast by joking that LeBron James used steroids and faked a back injury to avoid NBA HGH testing during his Miami Heat years. Teague later clarified on social media that his comments were not serious accusations but a joke about LeBron's dominance. Former NBA player Gilbert Arenas publicly mocked Teague's rapid retraction and cautioned about making such allegations against prominent athletes. There is no evidence linking LeBron to performance-enhancing drugs, and records confirm he did not miss significant time with the Heat nor was HGH testing implemented during his tenure there. A LeBron fan confronted Teague at a gas station over the remarks, illustrating the strong support James commands. Despite the controversy, LeBron's legacy remains officially unaffected by doping claims.
