President-elect Donald Trump has recently picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Soon after the 70-year-old was picked for HHS, social media was bombarded with speculations that RFK Jr. resorts to taking steroids to maintain his physique at the age of 70.
One user on X said, "RFK is also 100% on steroids to maintain that physique in his late 70s."
Another user on X wrote, "Wow, how does RFK look that built in his 70s? Steroids. Literally steroids."
"I am opposed to injecting people with hormones, which is why I support Robert F Kennedy Jr, who definitely has never used steroids," said a third person on X, formerly Twitter.
What Did RFK Jr. Had Said On Steroids?
In an interview with Lex Friedman on his podcast last year, Kennedy said that he uses "testosterone replacement therapy to maintain muscles and promote healthy aging." However, he denied using steroids for his body.
