In an interview with Yahoo Sports, UFC star BJ Penn accused UFC welterweight champ George St. Pierre of using steroids. In the interview, Penn, who is currently the UFC lightweight title holder, talks about his fights with St. Pierre. and how he believes that GSP is using steroids.

This isn't the first time that Penn has accused Georges St. Pierre of cheating. After losing to GSP at UFC 94 in January, Penn accused St. Pierre of putting grease on his body to prevent Penn from grabbing onto him. He takes his accusations a step further in his interview with Yahoo's Kevin Iole, saying that St. Pierre is using more than grease to gain a competitive advantage.

“It’s just my opinion that he uses steroids,” Penn said. “That’s it. My opinion. I do believe it. I can’t hand you any proof, but that’s my opinion.”

In an earlier conversation on the topic, Penn said, “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.”

Penn is slated to meet Kenny Florian at UFC 101 on Aug. 8, 2009. Penn has previously said that Florian had tipped him off about Georges St. Pierre's steroid use.

Penn has made more than a few controversial statements in his career.

Penn is just making excuses for his lose ... instead of talking shit he should go beg to dana white for another rematch..the outcome will be the same, even without the vaseline GSP was dominating penn in the previous fight and only the remaining vaseline was applied on GSP's upper back.
