In February of 2017, Richard Rodriguez, owner of Iron Addicts Gym, was arrested and accused of dealing and supplying steroids following a year-long investigation by the DEA during a raid in Miami. Rodriguez is being accused of importing goods from China, manufacturing illegal steroids in Arizona, and distributing them in Miami.
Forbes reports that Rodriguez’s Wellness Fitness Nutrition LLC (WFN) company had “at least 50 customers in the Eastern District of New York” and made over $10 million off the distribution of illegal steroids.
Jon Bravo is doing a documentary on the Iron Addicts Gym and recently did an interview with Rodriguez. Last week Rodriguez implicated WWE Superstar Roman Reigns and actors Mark Wahlberg and Josh Duhamel as clients of his.
Roman Reigns released this official statement denying any involvement in the scandal:
“I have never heard of Richard Rodriguez or Wellness Fitness Nutrition,” Reigns stated. “I learned from the mistake I made nearly two years ago and paid the penalty for it. Since then, I’ve passed 11 tests as part of WWE’s independent drug testing program.”
Both Mark Wahlberg and Josh Duhamel have also denied the allegations in released statements of their own.
In a new video released by Bravo, Richard Rodriguez, he named Reigns, Duhamel, and Wahlberg as clients of his specifically in order to get a better plea deal.
There are also reportedly bigger names involved that apparently won’t be revealed until the release of the documentary.
Richard Rodriguez teased that members of President Donald Trump’s administration are also involved as well.
Rodriguez claims that he was introduced to Roman Reigns a few years back by a wrestling enthusiast, and claims that he will soon be releasing texts proving he was indeed in contact with the three accused stars.
“That information with us communicating with Roman via text messages will be provided to the appropriate party, which will then be disclosed prior to our documentary that’s going to be filmed soon,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez has also claimed that he will be providing snippets of “proof” in the next week; including text messages, tracking numbers and addresses where he had the products shipped to his clients.
The addresses are said to be on movie sets in London and various other locations where the pickups would be able to be made.
