Louie Simmons began using anabolic steroids in January 1970, as he admitted in a
2016 podcast with Joe Rogan. He stated that he had never stopped using them
since that time. This date is significant because it marks the beginning of his
use of performance-enhancing drugs, which he openly discussed and defended.
