Brock Lesnar was the subject of a nearly 10-minute piece with ESPN that was posted on their web site Tuesday. Everything was going smoothly until the interviewer made overtures toward Brock about past steroid use. Lesnar was upset by the question and walked off camera. ESPN continued to film him off set, and that’s when he told ESPN reporter Tom Farrey that he’d never done steroids.

This would have actually been a really great piece if it weren’t for the steroids question. In their usual “investigative” style, ESPN had their reporter ask him questions about his life, etc., before blindsiding him with the steroids question. In fact, they even set up the question by showing a clip from an interview with Bret Hart talking about the addiction in wrestling. While none of us were obvioulsy at this interview, I’m wondering if they saved the steroids question for the end of their interview, knowing that it might upset him.

I’m really tired of seeing ESPN’s “reporters” pull this kind of crap by trying to make athletes look stupid. Lesnar is no longer a wrestler–it’s in the past. Just leave it alone. Funny thing is, he was even frank about abusing alcohol and pain pills, but the reporter had to push it even further.
