LL Cool J Says He Doesn't Use Steroids: 'We Don't Want the Prunes to Turn Into Raisins'

Although Congress and the media have chosen to focus almost exclusively on the use of performance-enhancing drugs among athletes, there's also a great deal of PED use among Hollywood celebrities, from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone on down.

But one of the celebrities who certainly has the body of a steroid user -- and who played a muscular football player in Any Given Sunday -- says he has never used them. LL Cool J was on Late Night With Conan O'Brien last night, and when Conan brought up steroids, LL made clear that he doesn't want to risk the testicular atrophy that is a side effect of steroid use.

"We don't want the prunes to turn into raisins," LL said. "I still want to matter at home, not just at the beach."

I'm not sure that comparing his own testicles to prunes is really where LL wants to go, but point taken: Count LL as one muscular man who says no to steroids.
