At Monday’s The Ultimate Fighter 12 media day in Las Vegas, Josh Koscheck discussed accusations within the MMA community that UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre had experimented with steroids. Koscheck also said that he would be in favor of submitting random blood tests to make sure both fighters are clean heading into their fight following the taping of TUF 12.
But 48 hours later, Koscheck apologized for his remarks, as some interpreted them as though he was directly accusing GSP of being a steroid user.
“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.”
St-Pierre has never tested positive for any kind of performance-enhancing drug.
