He doesn't seem like it. But that doesn't mean he doesn't. I'm sure there are por athletes you've admired that have taken steroids whether you realized it or not. It's the sad truth of the world we live in.

I just don't want to believe he cheated. He's too good for that!!
I don't either. Like I said, next to Fedor, GSP is my favorite fighter (BJ is probably 3rd among active fighters) so I hope it's all just a mistake. But I'm also not going to ignore or downplay the evidence just because it puts a favorite fighter's camp into question.

To cite other fights is all well and good but...HE's never been accused before. And the other info was also unfounded. I dunno...I think the other thing that throws me is that I just don't have as much admiration for Penn's entire camp as for GSP's. So it colors my perception of the whole issue!
Jackson's camp has been accused of this before. I know Huerta has (who I'm also a fan of). So has Rashad from what I hear. I know Jason "Mayhem" Miller accused GSP of being greased before. I don't put much weight in what he says because, well, he's Mayhem Miller. lol Still, it's just another piece to look at with what others are saying. A lot of people don't have as much admiration for Penn's camp. Penn is a loud mouth, especially compared to GSP. If you want to take that into consideration that's cool, but look at it with the other evidence. Even if GSP hadn't been accused before, he also hasn't fought many guys who are without a doubt better in the submission game than he is, like BJ (except the time he fought BJ lol).

You can agree with ZeeCanuck if you want, but I don't think he's taken a BJJ class or he'd know the difference between a guard and a high guard.
