Angel Reese’s latest controversy has set social media on fire. This time, Reese dropped a bombshell, targeting her former coach, Teresa Weatherspoon, and hinting at betrayal. According to Reese, their rocky relationship may have cost Weatherspoon her job. While Chicago Sky officials claimed Weatherspoon’s suspension was due to poor team performance, Reese has been suggesting there’s a deeper story behind the scenes.
The real shock came when news broke that Reese had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), including EPO and anabolic steroids. EPO, typically used by endurance athletes, boosts red blood cells to enhance stamina, while anabolic steroids build muscle rapidly. These substances are strictly banned in the WNBA. Once the test results came back, Reese was immediately suspended, and the Chicago Sky acted swiftly, cutting her from the team entirely. Her career is now in serious jeopardy.
Reese’s downfall highlights the pressure she faced trying to keep up with the WNBA’s latest sensation, Caitlyn Clark. Clark, who broke records and led her team to the playoffs in her rookie season, has become the new face of the league. As Clark’s star continued to rise with endorsement deals and accolades, Reese’s performance on the court lagged behind, leading to growing frustration and criticism.
Some insiders suggest that Reese’s use of PEDs was a desperate attempt to close the gap between herself and Clark, who had quickly become the league’s top player. What makes the situation even more complex are rumors about the role Teresa Weatherspoon may have played. Insiders claim that Weatherspoon, struggling to turn around the Sky’s disastrous season, might have pushed Reese toward using performance enhancers in a bid to save the team’s record.
With the team sitting at 13-27, Weatherspoon’s frustration reportedly grew, and she allegedly suggested that Reese take drastic measures to boost her performance. When the scandal broke, both Reese and Weatherspoon were fired, signaling that the Chicago Sky wanted to clean house and distance themselves from the controversy.
While Reese had the potential to be one of the league’s biggest stars, her involvement in this scandal has shattered her public image. The rivalry with Caitlyn Clark, once seen as a potential major storyline for the WNBA, has now taken a darker turn. Fans and analysts are left questioning whether Reese ever played clean or if her entire career was tainted by her use of PEDs.
In contrast, Caitlyn Clark’s rise has been built purely on skill, hard work, and mental toughness. Clark’s dominance—averaging over 20 points per game and rewriting the WNBA record books—has made her the new face of the league. Brands like Nike have thrown massive endorsement deals her way, with Clark landing a $28 million contract.
