Few names carry as much weight as Georges St-Pierre in the MMA sphere. The Canadian legend has long been a vocal advocate for fairness in combat sports. Now, he’s stepping into the ring once again – not to fight, but to champion a cause close to his heart.
St-Pierre recently sat down with comedian Theo Von for a candid chat. The topic revolved around the thorny issue of performance-enhancing drugs in the UFC. And he had some eye-opening insights to share.
“They’re not with USADA anymore, but I think they hire another organization to do the tests now. But I do believe that if you want to avoid corruption, it needs to be a separate entity that do the test than the organization itself. If the organization has power in their testing, it’s corrupt,” said St-Pierre.
‘GSP’ laid bare the current state of drug testing in the UFC. According to him, the existing methods aren’t quite up to snuff. But wait, there’s more. St-Pierre spilled the beans on some sneaky tactics fighters use. These crafty combatants have found ways to dodge detection.
One method Georges St-Pierre revealed is particularly clever. Some fighters use drugs that don’t cause visible physical changes. Take EPO, for instance. It boosts stamina without bulking up muscles. St-Pierre’s revelations paint a picture of a complex, sometimes murky world.

Recently, legendary fighter Georges St-Pierre shared his thoughts on this intriguing possibility. The Canadian icon, known for his wrestling prowess and MMA dominance, offered a unique perspective. He believes MMA’s Olympic debut is unlikely to happen in his lifetime.
“I don’t think that I’ll live long enough to see it in the Olympics, and the reason is because it’s called Mixed Martial Arts, it’s a combination of different combat sports,” said GSP via CBC Sports.
GSP, ever the problem-solver, proposed an interesting alternative. He suggested a modified version of MMA could potentially make the cut. Perhaps a return to the sport’s ancient roots? Maybe history could repeat itself with a modern twist. For now, MMA fans can dream of a future where their sport joins the Olympic family.
