BJ Penn, Marcelo Garcia, GSP, Sakuraba, Anderson Silva, Nick Diaz, to name a few.

no offense but.. anyone that thinks that all professional athletes must be doing steroids must be completely talentless and looking for an excuse to make up for their own inadequacies

I agree 100%.

And for the record I'd like to add that Chael Sonnen is a lying, stealing, dishonest douche and I do not like him. Thank you.

Chael Sonnen don't give a FUCK. This guy has me laughing with almost everything he says. I really don't get the Sonnen hate, at all..

he's just jealous.. because anderson is going out with lyoto. its a weird love triangle really

probably has something to do with the fact that he laundered money, cheated (steroids) then lied about it in court, gives people the impression that acting like a deuchebag and doing steroids is the key to being a good fighter, thus creating a giant army of tapout shirt wearing poser roidheads who talk shit to everyone thus making mma look like an illegitimate sport designed for insecure deuchebags.

I quote the old "Manny being Manny" as this being "Sonnen being Sonnen". He'll fight again one day just wait....

I don't know that I'd hold Chael solely responsible for the army of "tapout shirt wearing poser roidheads" but hey that's just me. The dude messed up, big deal. Other fighters have been busted for juicing and never been had the screws turned to him like Chael. He is getting a shitty deal here y'know. As far as money laundering, if I was making that much money I probably would consider it too.. Fuck taxes

I was being a bit of an extremist, admittedly. I don't do steroids,
and I don't think that's what makes an athlete, but the world went
through a time period where a whole whole whole lot of people trying
to be athletes and entertainers were turned on to steroids.

Even many of the purer athletes of the day have at one time or another
done steroids. Most athletes would never admit it, especially if they
still compete, but when a leg up is available and you're talking about
millions of dollars, many people give in to that temptation.

Your list unfortunately cowers to the list of proven dopers we call athletes.
And I mean that, it's unfortunate. I personally don't care if other people
want to use steroids or growth hormone, it's their choice, not mine, and they
will be the ones to reap the possible rewards or detriment.
