Fresh off of Josh Koscheck's "Georges St. Pierre does steroids and HGH and uses Stimpacks!!!!" accusation Koscheck has now retracted his statement and apologized:
"Media stories on comments I made about rumors of GSP are in no way factual," Koscheck said. "I'm known for polarizing comments, and I got caught up in hyping TUF and our fight. I was wrong, and apologize to GSP for trying to invalidate his hard work and talent."
For those that remember Josh's initial statement, the current welterweight contender cited B.J. Penn's camp as a source of the information. Penn and Co. have since said they never talked to Koscheck...

That statement sounds too intellectual to be written by Kos
or 90+% of MMA fighters, for that matter.

…yea the “in no way factual” is a dead give away – only lawyers and PR people talk that way.
This is really odd to me, though. Since when do we have fighters backing away from inflammatory remarks? Was he pushed to make a statement or suddenly taking the high road? And who might be doing the pushing – GSP’s people, Dana?
