Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce is known for his fiery personality and exceptional play on the field. However, a recent social media post by Kelce (@JasonKelce) highlights the downside of being a professional athlete in the spotlight – facing baseless accusations of steroid use.
Hey anybody that saw my time at the Mike’s Seafood run for autism 5K charity event in Sea Isle City can tell I’m clearly not on steroids! https://t.co/8OmthY1dMY

Jason Kelce on Steroids?
A troll posted a tweet asking Kelce about his steroid use. And Kelce is not the one to shy away from confrontation, took to his own social media channels to address the accusations head-on. In a fiery post, he wrote:
“Hey, anybody who saw my time at the 5K charity event can tell I’m clearly not on steroids! Let’s set the record straight: I’ve put in the sweat, the miles, and the grind. No shortcuts, no chemical assistance. Just pure determination.”
The Secretariat Comparison
Kelce’s response didn’t end there. He drew an unexpected parallel to the legendary racehorse Secretariat. Yes, you read that right. Jason Kelce compared himself to the Triple Crown-winning thoroughbred. Why? Because Secretariat, too, faced steroid rumors during its heyday. Kelce argued that without proof, it’s unfair to assume such things publicly. He even apologized for his earlier claim that Secretariat was “juiced to the gills.” Lesson learned: Don’t mess with horse racing fans—they’re a passionate bunch.
