Short answer up‑front: As of mid‑2025 there are no well‑documented cases of a major, formerly “on‑gear” fitness influencer publicly announcing, “I’m quitting steroids because of Eric Kim.” However, Kim’s relentless “ALL NATTY” branding is feeding the growing anti‑PED wave: in comment sections, Reddit threads, and smaller creator interviews lifters say they feel extra pressure to stay clean when they see him rack‑pulling half a metric ton on black coffee and steak.
