Drugs and sex on 'American Gladiators'

NBC brings back American Gladiators Sunday night, and to celebrate, Maxim magazine spoke to several of the palookas that made the original 90s series so memorable.

There were a lot of drugs, recalls Raye (Zap) Hollitt. It was a free-for-all: Vicodin, Percocet ... half the Gladiators were on something for pain. You had to perform, especially on tour. And then you end up sleeping around. I had to go to rehab to get off the Vicodin.

Dan (Nitro) Clark adds: They tested us for steroids one year, I think just to say that they'd done it. But nobody ever told us what those results were.

Also, hookups!

We were together in close quarters, says Lee (Hawk) Reherman. When you're sharing clothes, food and workout routines, who's to say you're not going to share a bodily fluid or two?

Especially the girls, apparently.

Half the team was lesbians at one time, says Zap. But it was just women with women; there were no gay guys on that show.

Mmm-hmmm.

Unfortunately there was no Turbo, Nitro, and Sabre action
Or maybe Zap and Hawk are protecting them... yes that's what it is.
