Former NBA guard Jeff Teague recently said LeBron James used steroids and had to sit out games under the guise of a back injury because the league started testing for HGH. Teague quickly backtracked and claimed he was just joking, but Jason Whitlock isn't buying it. On this episode of “Fearless,” Whitlock once again tackles a topic sports fans care about, but ESPN and FOX Sports are ignoring. Whitlock revisits similar accusations Kevin Garnett made last year about James and argues Teague was silenced by the powerful sports media, which doesn't like when its moneymakers' reputations are sullied by PED allegations. Whitlock gives a rundown of other alleged PED-ophiles, including Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds, Jon Jones, and Alex Rodriquez, and he discusses the accusations with guests Steve Kim and Jay Skapinac. Later on, Whitlock addresses Cam Newton's controversial comments about Jalen Hurts not ranking as a top-10 quarterback, and he argues there is a top-five list, but the top 10 quarterbacks could be anyone.
