Josh Koscheck, Georges St. Pierre and some good ole fashioned Steroid Accusations

It's been a while since MMA had a nice steroid accusation controversy and thanks to Josh Koscheck we have ourselves a Mayweather-Pacquiao situation! (Eat your heart out Floyd!):

"From what I've heard from other fighters in other camps, yeah, [St-Pierre] has done steroids and HGH, possibly. I don't know. 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...I think Olympic-style testing would be great for our sport. At least you do it a couple times out from the fight. I think it will be a great idea."

A couple of quick notes.

If WKR posted every little bit of gossip regarding fighters and PED's we hear then we'd be rich from all the page views before being promptly sued into the poor house for libel. But it would've been worth it because we would have been the intrepid young blogger walking the principled path towards truth. You know? Fiction!

It is interesting that Koscheck is repeating B.J. Penn and company verbatim on the blind steroid accusation front. Will that actually create any traction among fans? Probably not but then again does anyone really like Koscheck to begin with?

That brings us to the last point: perspective  Depending on your personal view this is either, (a) Koscheck trying to build interest for the fight, (b) Josh being an ass hole or (c) Koscheck presenting a legitimate concern. That makes this story completely up to your own personal interpretation.

Oh yeah. One last thing. Georges St. Pierre said he was okay with Olympic style testing and thinks it's good for the sport.

If only Manny Pacquiao could come to the same conclusion...
