Roman Reigns Talks About Leukaemia Battle

Roman Reigns has spoken about his fight with leukaemia, with the WWE World Heavyweight Champion having lived with the disease for many years.

Reigns has fought Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML) throughout his adult life, having had to take a leave of absence from WWE in 2019 due to a reoccurrence of the condition. During a recent interview with Men’s Health on YouTube, Reigns spoke more on life with CML, whilst discussing the use of peptides by athletes when in states of recovery or rehabilitation:

“With my medical history, I have to be very careful," Reigns said. "I’m still, to this day, down to the wire fighting CML. I have to be very careful when it comes to things like that...anything invasive or anything like that, I can’t take a chance on it. I’ve heard all kinds of cool stuff about that, but I haven’t been able to break into that or sample it. Maybe one day it’ll be a question for my doctor, but it’s something that I’ve been able to outwork everything to this point. If I can keep doing that, I’ll stay on that route.

"It’s under control, and we’re under the actual baseline, but to be in molecular remission, it has to be almost zeroed out, and there are still those minute traces, like .0031, but it counts. I still have to be very careful and very smart. For me, and this is someone who doesn’t have a lot of knowledge on it...peptides are overrated.”
