 Chad Ochocinco Says He Soaked Ankles in Teammates' Urine to Avoid Injuries

Chad "Ochocino" Johnson shared the gross method he used to evade injuries during his 11-year NFL career. Spoiler alert: It includes his teammates' urine.

On the latest episode of podcast 7 PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony , Ochocinco joined the host , Rudy Gay , The Kid Mero , and Kazeem Famuyid and revealed his ritual of using his fellow players' urine to prevent injuries.

The discussion begins around the 1:18:00 of the video below when Mero brings up Ochocinco's 2016 Mike and Mike interview, per CBS Sports , in which he detailed his rehab process for ankle sprains.

"You know what I did for ankle sprains?" the former wide receiver said at the time. "I would collect warm urine from my teammates, heat it up and put my ankle in it for 30 minutes."

"Yeah, that worked," Ochocinco told Mero after he finished reading the quote.

After the rest of the men shared their takes, the retired NFL player shared that it's "not science" but a "home remedy."

After adding that "science is not fact," Ocho said that the remedy came from his grandmother. "There a reason I never been injured, home remedies," he said. "I'm sitting here living proof."

"So you wouldn't soak your [ankles] to play in a game?" Ocho asked Mero, who was too shocked to speak. "You warm it up about 30 seconds in the microwave."

"Man, I'm just gonna play with a fucked up ankle!" Anthony joked.

When Gay asked Ocho how he would hypothetically collect his urine if they were teammates, the Nightcap co-host broke it down.

"I give you some water. 'Here drink this water, boy. When you gotta pee, boy, put in this cup,'" Ocho recalled telling his teammates.

"It's a good thing. This is how I was able to collect it all at one time, right?" he continued. "You got team meetings in the morning, right? Everybody: 'Hey y'all, boy, do me a favor, boy. My ankle kind of fucked up, I need you to all y'all to drink water at one time. So when we break meeting, if y'all pee it's a bucket in the bathroom.' Boom. Y'all all peeing that bucket for me."

Apparently after collecting the bucket of urine, Ocho would use it "as long as it's enough that comes above the ankle." "Warm it up," he concluded.

The podcast crew broke out in laughter over Ocho's explanation, but this isn't his first time admitting the habit. He's given the advice to other athletes on Twitter, now X.

Last December, Ocho had his Nightcap co-host Shannon Sharpe speechless over his urine treatment.

"I put my ankle that's swollen or sprained, warm it up really hot, sit my foot in the urine, and the heat and the toxins from the urine would absorb all the swelling out," Ocho said in the video below. "I swear, if I got a high ankle sprain on Wednesday and we playing on Sunday, by Friday I was able to do that fast walkthrough practice and play the game fully healthy Sunday.

"That's why I played a full career with no injuries because I had home remedies that got me through," he concluded.
