Ben Pollack opens up about PED usage on recent Mark Bell podcast.
Ben Pollack joined Mark Bell on his podcast to discuss PED usage and it’s side effects. The two went in depth about the truth and ramifications of using anabolic substances.
When an athlete decides to participate in a competitive sport their ultimate goal is to win.
