sport news Jason Kelce forced to make hilarious apology after accusing legendary racehorse ... trends now
A tangent from the latest episode of the New Heights podcast has forced Jason Kelce to apologize for starting a debate over whether or not Secretariat was on the juice.
Yes, surprisingly in 2024, the now-retired Eagles center decided to voice his opinion on the doping habits of the horse that won the Triple Crown in 1973 and who died in 1989.
That's because his brother, Travis, attended the Kentucky Derby - and their discussion of the derby led to a conversation about horse racing.
'Secretariat was juiced to the gills,' Kelce claimed on the podcast. 'Secretariat just so happens to be right in the heart of the steroid era.
'(In) 1973, every NFL player, every baseball player, they were juicing them to the gills. You don't think Secretariat was f–king juiced to the rafters? Of course it's the fastest horse of all-time.

'They didn't drug test Secretariat the way they did Mystik Dan. Nobody talks about it. Secretariat was doping, there's no chance Secretariat wasn't doping.'
Jason then continued the discussion on his Twitter account - where he fielded negative backlash from those who wouldn't stand to see the name of the most famous racehorse in American history besmirched.
Secretariat is one of 13 horses to win the American Triple Crown of the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness Stakes, and the Belmont Stakes. In the third race, Secretariat beat the rest of the pack by an astounding 31 lengths - which still stands as the American record for a 1.5 mile dirt track race.
