During an episode of his podcast, “Everybody’s Got a Pod,” sharing his personal perspective Ted DiBiase expressed a nuanced stance on the use of steroids in wrestling, emphasising the importance of medical supervision. He remarked:
What I would say is, if you’re gonna do it, do it under a doctor’s supervision.
DiBiase further elaborated on his own experience with steroids, revealing a personal approach guided by medical advice.

The wrestling legend recounted a pivotal moment early in his WWE career, highlighting a conversation with Vince McMahon.
Vince, when he signed me, he said, ‘We’re really looking forward to what we can do, Ted. But I do want to see you in the gym.’ And I said, ‘Well, you will.’ And I did.
