BJ Penn: "It's Just My Opinion That George St. Pierre Uses Steroids"

Remember when I told yall a couple of days ago that BJ Penn still hadn't gotten over the beating that GSP laid on him at UFC 94? Remember when I told yall way back when that that beating was going to play a hand in Kenny Florian beating him? Well, check this out.
BJ Penn states that he believes that GSP uses steroids in a recent interview with Kevin Iole:
It’s just my opinion that he uses steroids. That’s it.My opinion. I do believe it. I can’t hand you any proof, but that’s my opinion.”
“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.”
Listen, it's one thing to be a sore loser, but to come out and say something of this magnitude with NO prove whatsoever is just retarded. It further proves the points I was making earlier, in that I think Penn is overlooking Kenny Florian. Give me your thoughts on this?

We get fat – no the fuck you don’t if you’re a professional.
This is so god damn silly… it’s this lack of focus that makes me think he won’t be the LW champ after UFC 101.
Bloody hell.
Yo
If Florian wins this weekend…I’ll be a prophet.

Agreed. I’m a Penn fan but, in my opinion, this kind of thing is unprofessional. I don’t know if the guy is trying to be “in character” or not and is trying to make himself controversial. Unfortunately, I think that this might just really be him speaking from the heart. Either way, it reflects poorly on him. It’s a shame, too, with that kind of talent. I still, though, look at the good things that Penn has decided to do outside of his fighting career and give just as much weight to them. I remember that he donated a large percentage of his purse in his first title shot (which wasn’t long after the September 11th attacks) to a 911 fund. I know he’s pretty active in giving back to his community in Hilo. But he has, legitimately, gained a reputation for whining since his fight in February.
I’ve heard that the Penn family is loaded and that he is set as far as money is concerned though.
Bloody hell.

The depiction of him being a spoiled rich kid on UFC Primetime wasn’t that far off…lol.

I couldn’t agree with you more, Kevin. I think B.J. once again showed himself as a cry baby and a sore loser. I remember when lost to Jens Pulver way back in the day at the end of the fight (which he lost) he said, "I still think I am the best light weight in the world’. I thought he was an ass then for not being being able to take a loss like, man and he still is.
Having said all of that, I still think he will beat Flroian. It’s has had some devastating losses and was able to come back from them. I think he will come back from his loss to St. Pierre.
GSP haters have been making steroid accusations against him for years, and that fact was very present in my mind as I watched him fight Thiago Alves. Next to Alves in that fight, GSP didn’t look very muscular at all. Alves had way bigger muscles than him, especially his pecs. He was huge next to GSP. It brought things into perspective for me. Not that GSP couldn’t be using steroids. The way things are these days, with even NASCAR drivers apparently getting busted using them, it makes me wonder if any athletes aren’t on them.
As far as BJ goes, and I loooove the fact that his name is BJ, this is just one more pathetic excuse for him getting the hell beaten out of him by GSP. He just mentally cannot deal with it. BJ’s enormous ego was shattered after that fight. I believe that he truly believes he is unbeatable and that the only way he could ever lose to anyone is by some kind of fluke. He’s a total lunatic. I’m not saying this stuff to bash him, I’m giving my honest opinion here. He has serious mental problems. I’ll put it like he put it: “My opinion. I do believe it. I can’t hand you any proof, but that’s my opinion.” He’s looney tunes. Totally delusional.
