Georges St-Pierre Refuses USADA Exemption – Re-Enters Testing Pool So He Can Fight

– Georges St-Pierre recently spoke with bloodyelbow.com, and confirmed some important news. He is once again talking with the UFC about a return fight, he has turned down an exemption from USADA and is entering the testing pool so that he can undergo his four months of testing to be eligible to fight. Here are some highlights…

On Talking to The UFC & Entering The USADA Testing Pool: “We’re talking again and I’m starting the USADA process to be tested, I’m starting it (Thursday) in Las Vegas. Because to be eligible to fight you need to be tested.”

On Not Accepting an Exemption Like Brock Lesnar: “He had a free pass, I think it was an exemption of a month or something like that. But me, I don’t want to be an exception, because I was very outspoken about performance enhancing drugs. It would be bad for my reputation if I would have an exemption – I don’t want to have a free pass, I want to be like everybody else. That’s why I’ll be starting the process (Thursday). I don’t have any fight yet, but it’s gonna happen now, because I’m getting tested, if I’m getting tested it’s for a reason.”
