BJ Penn accuses GSP of using steroids

[trainharder]

What's your take on it?


http://bleacherreport.com/articles/231235-b-j-penn-i-think-gsp-does-steroids

"In my opinion, he doesn't play by the rules when it comes to steroids and growth hormones and that stuff. Look at him. He's the worst. He looks like that every day. That’s cheating. There is a reason why there are rules against using steroids. The rest of us, we get fat, then we train and get skinny and the cycle goes over and over again. He looks the same way all the time. Come on."

What an idiot.

[physique]

what a douche! take your beating like a man, and quit belittling someone who is obviously better then u in this sport.

hopefully Florian whoops his ass too.

the UFC should actually fine him, as his comments are like Brocks, doesnt look good, and advertisers might get upset.

Totally agree - Dana is gonna rip him a new asshole when he reads this...UFC has been able to deflect all of the negative attention in the press about steroids use that has plagued MLB and the NFL..and BJ comes out with this shit..

[GYMBRAT]

exactly! it's all just childish excuses in my opinion....sore ass loser!!!

[Gemini]

Seriously this guy's the worst sore loser! He makes up an excuse for everything when he loses against a guy. This is not only a sore loser move but also a huge douche move by BJ, GSP is probably the last guy who would use steroids, he's one of the hardest working guy in MMA that's all. Unlike BJ who seems spoiled and lazy.

[Bowlcut]

Did anyone catch him on Rome today? He is still bitching about him being greased and says other fighters have accused him too.

If Matt Hughes complained one would think the commission would probably have been extra vigilant.

Penn needs to let the fighting do the talking and not looking for excuses for his loss, and I highly doubt he is "clean".

[cog]

I guess BJ just recently actually hired a trainer...the best will come when he gets whupped...he won't be man enough to congratulate the winner.

[guest]

that's sad. give it up penn.

[champcar99]

BJ "bigmouth" Penn is ****ING CRY BABY ..BJ put the weight back on a go another five rounds opps sorry , you quit before you got the the 5th round..what happened there BJ did you get your ass handed to you....HAHAHAHA..cry all you want BJ you ****ing lost and will lose everytime you go up agaisnt GSP...too funny BJ would last 3 hours training as hard as GSP in the gym...BJ maybe when you do your underwater run with the big stones try to stay under longer I hear it helps at keeping your big cry baby mouth shut

[nitrous]

He does look rather contrite there.Maybe it's going through his mind now,if he does lose tomorrow just how quickly things could go downhill...dark matches in no time...

[St]

Great just what the UFC needs more bad press,all sport are taking a beating on gear and he opens his mouth some more,can wait until he is out of the UFC.BTW your great when you can jump out of a pool,just like running under water with rock,did it help him with GSP haha.

[ubcpower]

Some people will never swallow their pride and admit that discipline+diet+training can produce pretty impressive physiques

[BDH]

I agree with Penn...I meant Sean Penn, btw...

[BAM]

[DeathClutch]

The problem is not 100% the fighter... it say its 50% media and 50% fighter. The interview probably went along the way of "Hey what do you think about Sean sherk getting cought with steroids" and the next questions was something like Do you think GSP takes steroids! Who know what BJ said.

Well that just ignites the fire for the media to **** up someone's carrier! They go around calling all GSP friends and trainers and satrt asking questions... This is what causes all the turmoil!

BJ didnt come out on national television calling out GSP for using roids!! It was posted from some idiot who said BJ said GSP was using steroids... The the Truth is that SEAN SHERK WAS USING STEROIDS!!!! HE Got CAUGHT!

I dont think bj penn actually wanted to say GSP was using i think words just got mixed up! Anyways he apologized!

This is a Huge issue with Media and always has been and always will be!

BJ Penn is the man! He pulled off a nice RNC on Florian! he is a great 155#'er and NOT a good 170#'er!!!

Anyways WHO IS GONNA BEAT GSP!!!! ? NOOOOOOOOOOO ONE! There is no one right now in the 170!

[Mr Mass]

any way you look at it BJ is a moron...always has been

[champcar99]

AGREED I would have more respect for BJ if he just shut his mouth.. he acts like some school yard bully and has the mentality of one..

[Perseverance]

GSP stays in shape year round. That's not always the case for Penn

[thetorontodude]

If they offered BJ another fight with GSP, I do not think he would take it. But I would love to see BJ get killed. He is a sore loser and has no class.

[HULK]

...GSP is probably the last guy who would use steroids, he's one of the hardest working guy in MMA that's all.


Close friend of mine used to work out with GSP; GSP is an extremely gifted athlete who works very hard at his craft. And no he doesn’t do steroids. As far as BJ goes – he’s another humble gifted fighter…I really doubt that he mentioned anything negative regarding GSP.

BJ Penn humble?
I've never seen a fighter talk as much shit as BJ did before the GSP fight, and then when he didn't back it up he started making excuses like greasing and AAS.
BJ Penn probably has the biggest mouth in MMA. All his shit talking is on youtube.

[CanadianIron]

So you guys all think GSP is all natural?

He looks like he uses gear to me, but its hard to tell unless you knew him for the last 5-10 years.

With testing as lax as it is, he could be and we'd never know.
It's kinda like the mayweather/pachaio situation right now, mannys supporters are saying because he passed piss tests post fight it proves he's clean...... The guys on here know better.

[CanadianIron]

I know, im just saying based on physique I'd say he was... his lats are wicked, he's way to jacked to be natural, especially for a guy who has to maintain a certain amount of cardio, you'd think all his mass would just melt off after a while.

I don’t watch youtube much except for power lifting. As far as BJ goes, that’s could be for publicity creating media hype?

Well back in the days when he wasn't famous, I know for a fact he didn't use. But then, that's many years ago. Who knows...

[519Muscle]

im sure that the majority of ufc fighters have tried or r still on gear..

[chiplin]

It's definitely possible, I mean, it doesn't take long to get them out of your system. However, GSP releases numerous interviews and videos about training and has proven that he trains all year long and maintains a very healthy diet. I wouldn't be surprised if he was on gear when training for a fight, but he definitely gets tested before every fight for it, and it comes back negative.

Now, I love BJ Penn, he is an unbelievable athlete and is capable of many things, those who disagree should take a look at his track record followed up by his fight against "badass" Diego. BJ is a prodigy, anyone who can get their BJJ blackbelt in 3 years when it takes 10 on average is a prodigy. The guy can win a fight any which way, but he needs to get the **** off GSP's ass about greasing and gear, I think he needs to keep winning fights to get a rematch with GSP and let his fists speak for him instead of making excuses as to why GSP is so developed + smart in the octagon.

[Benny62]

I knew two guys growing up who never lifted a weight in their life and drank beer like water, didn't watch their deit and played rugby who looke like GSP and many other shredded athletes. Some people just have the genetics......that being said BJ could take a 2X4 to the head and stay awake....a different gene most others don't possess either, how come nobody has acused him of fighting on PCP? Seriously, the guy feels no pain! joking.....

[chiplin]

Good point, it's definitely a good way to put everything. Genetics I'd imagine do play a huge role in it.

[IronMan]

GSP have absolutely no body fat, has an incredible physique, and is jack as **** for a fighter in his weight class. BUT, I don't think he uses anabolics. I know of 2 guys who have unreal genetics like him. I fvcking hate them lol. I have an insane amount of respect for GSP as an athlete and all around guy. If I did suspect he used, I'd be very suspecting too. But I really don't think he does. This one guy in particular I know doesn't know jack shit about a proper supplement and diet program either. He's an idiot when it comes to the bodybuilding and fitness life style. Yet he walks around sporting a wicked 6 pack all year round and big full muscle bellied muscles and barely works for them. Ahhh this is pissing me off just talking about it LOL. GO GSP!!! lol:bch

[cog]

For those that remember GSP from his earlier days,the area around one of his nips did look slightly suspicious at one time,my thoughts were that he had used a little.I could be wrong of course.

[evoke]

if he does, they'll never catch him, so it's all good.

[a_ahmed]

Honestly i have respect for gsp and although diet+nutrition+dedication/etc... is all great... (i have it)... genetics do play a role sure... but honestly as much respect as i have for the dude and I KNOW he trains hard year round... i sometimes find it hard to believe too...

Some of his older videos training... he was smaller than me... lifting like a woman (no disrespect seriously.. they were just very very very light weights and i was like that at one point when i just did martial arts alone)... but it made no sense to me how now he is as built as a bodybuilder (for his height/size/etc...) and ripped year round... ridiculously low fat/ripped... :-/ It does boggle the mind a lil bit... not to mention if you compare his older vids/pics... he was a pretty small guy... latest videos he definitely is a monster straight up :-/

I am doubting myself lately how hard I've trained in the past 3 years for instance.... although ive got myself out of being obese (long story) i've had trouble putting on any legitimate size monster muscle naturally except putting on fat when bulking and i know people will jump the gun about rest/nutrition/training but i follow it to the t and log everything and the body is just what it is :-/

Even when I was full on training martial arts i never got big... i had explosive strength and yet i was small but never big or ripped ripped...as if something is wrong with me :-/ Lately I've found my natural test levels are low though... so that may have to do with it... but cmon... :-/

[powder925]

it wouldn't surprise me if most of the top fighters in the UFC use some type of performance enhancer whether it be during training or for recovery after a big fight...but one thing is forsure is that GSP probably trains harder then most and the fact that he has Dr john Berardi from performance nutrition looking after his diet and a personal chef to cook all his food....its not to hard to see how he maintains his conditioning

[#8]

GSP looks nothing like a bodybuilder at all. He is just under 6ft and about 170ish lbs. Hardly a bodybuilding frame. He has the perfect amount of size for his frame to compete and destroy the competition in his class.

I dont think he is cheating. Not any more than anyone else in the UFC is anyway. As far as I know his piss tests come up clean.

[JifeLacket]

Clean piss tests do not come close to telling the whole story. But i definitely agree, at his weight staying that lean and maintaining that muscle does not need AAS but it certainly would help.

[cog]

True.
