"People thought I was doing cocaine. I'm mic'd up the whole time. Everyone would have heard me do it. It's wild to think that I was carrying cocaine on me, and I was snorting lines and doing all this kind of stuff in the bathroom when I'm mic'd up," he explained.

"Have I [used drugs]? Yes. On the show I did not," he said.

"I have experience with a few of them. Nothing that's been injected into my body, but I think we've all had our times in our lives where we've done certain things," Shayne added.
