There is absolutely zero chance that GSP pops for PEDs because there is absolutely zero chance that he's using PEDs.
Nimrods like OP simply don't get it. GSP's popularity is largely due to how his fans perceive his character. His endorsements alone - whether he continues to fight or he retires right now - will be worth more over the course of the remainder of his lifetime than any win bonuses he might get in his last few fights.
If GSP got popped for PEDs the backlash against him would be like no other - his fans LOVE this guy because he is considered to be a man of honour, of good character and is trusted. His fans will love him win or lose (no, we're not talking about his haters who couldn't give two shits either way) but if he was found juicing his fans would castrate him worse than any MMA fighter in existence has ever seen from their fans. Every one of his sponsors would drop him. He would be an outcast in his home country - fuck, the Prime Minister is congratulating the guy on twitter - the embarassment he would bring upon his fans would be monumental.
And Georges St-Pierre is no dummy I promise you that. He knows his life would be hell if he got busted and he'd be ridiculed the rest of his life. There is absolutely no way on God's green earth he's failing any PED test and his haters can't even comprehend this because they simply don't get it.

Spot on. The risk to reward calculation for Georges is different than it is for anyone else in the sport. Regardless of what anyone thinks he did in the past, it’d make absolutely no sense for him to take PEDs now.
