Koscheck: BJ Penn's camp told me Georges St. Pierre is using Steroids and HGH
Posted on June 8, 2010, 07:54 AM by Anton GurevichIt looks like the number one contender for the UFC Welterweight title, Josh Koscheck, possibly went too far. Koscheck stated in an interview to MMAJunkie.com that fighters from other camps told him Georges St. Pierre uses anabolic steroids and a Human Growth Hormone. Speaking about who exactly spread those rumors, Koscheck pointed a finger at the former Lightweight Champion BJ Penn:
"From what I've heard from other fighters in other camps, yeah, [St-Pierre] has done steroids and HGH, possibly. This is just on hearsay information that I've gotten. B.J. Penn and his camp gave me a little phone call. They were saying, 'Yeah, he's on steroids. He's this; he's that.' I said, 'Yeah, there's a possibility.' The guy is pretty ripped all year round."
In his reaction to Koscheck's comments, Georges St. Pierre declared that he is not afraid to do an Olympic-level drug test to prove he's not on steroids: "I have no problem; anytime he wants. I'm for random drug testing. There's nobody in the UFC that agrees more with random testing then me. ... Anything they want, I don't care. I give my body to science."
Meanwhile, Spike TV revealed that the filming of The Ultimate Fighter 12 show went into the production this week in Las Vegas. The taping of the show takes six weeks, as the first episode premieres Wednesday, September 13, 2010 at 10:00 PM ET/PT. Also, Ultimate Fighting Championship decided to counter-program Strikeforce's Fedor vs Werdum card with the highly-entertaining UFC 113: Machida vs Shogun event. UFC 113 will air on Saturday, June 26th at 9:00PM/ET on Spike TV.

BJ's camp told him haha!!! Who else? Matt Serra's, Matt Hughes' and Dan Hardy's? Anyone else that got their butt whooped want to complain?
Kos is just creating excuses already 4 when he gets his butt handed to him
Racist, racist, racist
saying "i am better than you" makes you also ignorant.......
oh, i bet you work in a car wash really.........
He is already making excuses for his upcoming lose to GSP...
Dan Hardy was mouthy before the fight with GSP but he was pretty humble after tht defeat n dint say anything about steroids or HGH
they are both OBVIOUSLY on steroids.
I personally believe GSP is using steroids. I've trained hard before and the only guys I see who have bodies like GSP are using them.
Also, GSP was caught on video GREASING (He wasn't punished by the UFC because he's their golden-boy).
But, if he's looking to bend the rules with greasing I'm willing to believe he'd bend the rules in other areas. And by looking at his body I'd say yes - it's suspicious.
I want some roids!! Were can I get some?
Georges St .Pierre is the nicest guy in MMA. When you talk sh*t about him...well. Matt Serra(corner stoppage), Bj Penn(corner stoppage). He tends to make examples out of disrespect. nuff said.
with his roid rage skills
This "hearsay" information could have come from anyone, and who cares anyway? The chances of it being legit are so low. I think GSP would rather jump off a tall building than take steroids. Kos is good at making people hate him. He's just playing the "bad guy" role to the hilt, that's all. He knows he's hated by a lot of fans and he's playing it up. I'm sure he will ride GSP the entire TUF season too, making for more good T.V. and lots of bad boy drama.
If Bj Penn's camp told you to fake an eye poke and make an ass of yourself would you do it?
WOW! Ive been working out and training in mma for a long time and its stupid to think that people who are built well use steroids. You cant compare GSP's body to others because they are different. Genetics play a big part on the way we look and they way our body is able to loose and gain weight. I know guys who are lean and huge and never work out simply because of their genetic structure. Plus take into account he has a nutritionist telling him what to eat all the time as well as professional trainers giving him his workouts, Everyones gotta hate on him because of his success.
when i was a teenager i was down the gym 5 nights a week and by the time i was 17 i had a physique not far off GSP. That was 20 years ago and now I'm a chumba case, but the point being that training hard can get you an awesome physique without any performance enhacement or stimulant. I used to eat all sorts of junk too and just burnt it off.
This doesn't mean GSP is or isn't doing anything, I dont know the guy, but being very very fit can be achieved with hard work alone.
i train with a guy who is ripped like GSP and all my friend does is train and smoke pot, no steroids lol, and he plays xbox alot and eats hamburgers and hot dogs.... some people have perfect genetics lol
Agree. I have trained with friends that have the insane genetics and get huge by doing 5 pushups. The they go eat Burger King and don't gain an ounce.
untill gsp test positive no one can say for sure. 1 thing that makes me wonder is that he names bj penn in this so for me this is something guys are probably saying in their gyms and fight camps but like i said untill he test positive kos should shut up and getting ready to be owned
if some one gives you some inside info....you dont drop names ay uncool
guys kos has alot of credibility, i have never seen kos fake an eye poke or knee to the head we should take these allegations more seriously
If the knee to the head would have landed his comments would have made more sense.
Koshchek lost badly to St. Pierre. St, Pierre went to his dressing room to tell him not to worry that he will be a champ one day. Koschek verbally attacks him and his hometown again.
Koshchek is a no-class bleach-haired racially confused ass clown, period.
Funniest more sarcastic comment ever...
St Pierre is too loyal and too honest, him doing steroids is unheard of.
Yeah Just like Hulk Hogan.
Not saying gsp is on roids, but if you think nice guys don't do drugs you are a little bit naiv.
For anyone who follows snooker you'd have never thought John Higgins would fix a match but he has from the looks of it, so anyone is corruptable regardless of how nice and honest they appear.
I dont think GSP juices but we dont know either way. What we do know is Brock juiced for years in WWE and has gained alot from it yet is embraced by UFC and MMA because of his size and popularity. Yet there is no objection to his obvious advantage from juicing.
*sigh*
This is Tito saying Chuck had an intervention all over again.
Isn't it more like BJ saying GSP is on steroids all over again? But seriously BJ was doing so much better when he forgot about GSP and focused on his own division and then when he started thinking about GSP again he looked tame and lost (thou I don't really think he did but it still looked tame for BJ).
BJ just need to forget about GSP and the welterweight division all together and have no business calling Kosh about him.
jealousy rears it's ugly head again!
Kos is honest enough to say who said what and at least he didn't jump on the wagon. He only said it is possible. They should have tests done randomly just to make sure. I am not one to believe GSP would do it but there may be others laying low about it.
Actually, I think after reading others posts I spoke too soon. He probably is hoping this will help get an emotional GSP. I still believe in randonm drug tests though.
And we are to believe you KOS??? Aren't you the dude that faked the eye poke and the knee to the head????
He's definitely deflecting the attention away from him while creating an ugly story beside it. and then he can actually say..."I didn't say "it" BJ Penn's camp did...."
And this is why everyone loves you Kos
Josh is doing what he does best , try and get into the head of the other guy. I would be surprised if they found drugs in GSP blood, He is to wholesome for that shit.
I think the fact that he came right out and wasnt afraid to say who told him shows that BJ's camp probably did say it.... Anyhow, its just something to start the drama off right for TUF. Chuck's an alcoholic remember?
Yeah because BJ Penn's camp is so reliable of a source...
when ur starting to talk trash 6 months before a fight,thats a sign that a beatdown is coming,good luck koscheck.
dana white is such a douche.... he loves the attention all this bullsh** gets + he doesnt accept that there are some other mma organisations out there that are doing well
totally irrelevant .....
but true
yeah dude i hate all the GAY hype. just let them fight. i miss pride
@jon
what does that have to do with Kos accusing Bj of taking steroids or HGH?....i think your in the wrong thead......
both OBVIOUSLY using steroids
GSP knows sport psychology, and knows that this is just a lame attempt from kos to get into his head. Have fun Layin' and Prayin' Kos
Kos pobably training some fake injury moves now
I don't understand why in the opening of this article you stat Kos "might have went too far". It's already widely known that BJ has said GSP juices. The HGH comment is new though.
Sounds like Kos is trying to play the role of the bad guy and at the same time get under GSP's skin...and possibly dana's.
Hell, after having the president of the UFC call out his number contender as a "****", I think anything Kos wants to throw to wind is fine by me. Dana created open season so let Kos get his jabs in as well.
...moving on
Dana "I don't want to turn this in to a circus". Realy? Maybe tell your fighters to stop acting like mediawhores in a cheap soap and get back to putting on some decent fights again. The past year every major UFC fight has been preceded by retarded mudslinging, every TUF series has had dissing coaches, a weak nerdy character, an ignorant bully character, and an 'emotional' crisis (fake career-ending injuries anyone?). The next main event will be between a well-respected past-his-prime hall of famer...and a retired out of shape boxing champ. Sigh.
Remember when fighters respected eachother, got in a cage and realy went all out for a KO or a submission? Remember the days when TUF was actually about finding....OMG...the new UF? Just look at the fighters the early TUF produced and what's come out of them recently
Nowadays my gf likes watching TUF. Need I say more? Goddamn I miss the good old days.
SHAFT!....................ya damn riggghhhtt
WWE format?? drama sells more than MMA and DW is making money. I'm not sure he really cares about MMA. If he does, it certainly isnt as much as he cares about making money. He give Sonnen the UFC platform on more than one occasion to trash talk Silva for ages. I mean aren't the quality of the fighters enough to sell fights anymore??
GSP doesn't juice man, nobody on this site can know for certain one way or the other but i don't believe it, his character doesn't fit with that type of underhand "cheating" for want of a better word. I think GSP is a true Martial Artist in every sense of the word and just because he is a naturally gifted athlete and a great fighter who is better than most in every area of fighting, people slander him when they have absolutely nothing at all to substantiate their claims, as in this case. GSP's response to the allegations convinces me all the more, he isn't a man with something to hide..............
Wow! Koscheck just keeps getting stupider and stupider, doesn't he.
Anyone who thinks GSP is on juice is a moron. This is one of the premier fighters in the UFC, if not, they premier fighter in the UFC, he is a world class athlete and...the guy doesn't drink alcohol, smoke, eat fats, he has his own dietitian and chef, he works out for hours every day...and Koscheck thinks he's on steroids, because he's got a great build all year round? What an ass. I'd also add, that JK seems to be ripped all year too, does that mean he's on steroids?
No - this is just JK trying to pump up his name, before his loss and banishment to the basement of the WW division. He knows his only chance to beat GSP is with that big loopy, telegraphed right, of his; and that's his only chance.
Are there guys in the UFC who are on juice or been on juice, I'm sure there have been or are, however, GSP is not one of them. And when a guy you just accused of using them, immediately states (publicly) that he will take an Olympic level drug test(s), do it randomly and as many times as you want (implied in the statement), then my guess would be that he's not on steroids. I would also venture a guess that GSP would (also) take a lie detector test, as well; if asked.
And as to the Penn remark - if he really did say it, then he should own it and be a man. Either that, or he should publicly go after JK for lying.
If Penn did say it, then I say this - I hope that chubby, poorly motivated, cardio challenged, former 155 champ, who can't run his own division, comes back up up to 170 (eat a few more donuts) and gets his ass handed to him. And that GSP is allowed the pleasure of finishing Penn; something Penn robbed him of in their last fight, when BJ "quit".
kos is an ass but for me he wouldn't have said this and mentioned bj penn unless guys are genuinely talking about this in gyms and what not. it look at brock lesnar do you honestly believe he's never taken steroids ? who knows that the problem how long do think leben was using before he tested positive after the bisping fight. either way kos is a **** for making this public even if BJ penn's camp told him this i doubt they told him this for him to tell the world so i got no doubt bj will not endorse this. f*** kos
Whats next man? You gonna start putting these comments in MLA format?
hahahah stupid. i didnt even bother reading the rest. So you think gsp aint on steroids why? Because he is a world class athlete hahahahah what makes you think that lots of athlete's dont do steroids..............THEY DO!!................ gsp dont drink, smoke, eat fats blah blah blah!!!! neither do most athlete's
Ten bucks says that when GSP Beats him like the little bitch he is he will blame it on the UFC not testin him before the fight!!! ANY takers!!!
BJ?... Is there anything but empty accusation? BJ just needs an excuse for being so far out of Georges' league physically. Just like his claims of Georges being greased after the fight where BJ quit for lack of heart. By all accounts, Georges simply works harder than just about anybody in the sport. He's driven.
Blind accusations are uncalled for, and they're pathetic.
ASSUME!!! makes a ASS out of U and ME!!!!
Kos BJ
Yeah I dont think GSP is on any illegal drugs or they would have caught him by now. I've seen what HGH does to guys and GSP has the same amount of muscle mass he's had for 3 years now...getting under his skin and saying this are 2 different things.
June 26th...UFC113?? If your not into MMA enough to have not seen that yet, why would you bother watching it then?
why can't kosheck just drive his car off a cliff or something, i would be willing to bet that dana hates kos so much that if gsp dominates kos that the ufc will cut him and make an example out of him which would be great i'm so tired of his comments and blogs getting posted he is an immature ass who's about to have the most embarrassing moment of his life whenhe steps in the octagon with GSP
Gotta hand it to Kos for the wind up though. He is hilarious.
