Krzysztof Soszynski Says Most Fighters Using PEDs

With the use of testosterone replacement therapy grabbing headlines recently, UFC light heavyweight Krzysztof ‘The Polish Experiment’ Soszynski (26-11-1) says fans should know that he believes at least “85 percent of guys are definitely using” some form of steroids, testosterone, or other form of PEDs.
On a recent segment of The MMA Hour (@MMAFighting.com), Soszynski offered his opinion on the subject of PED use by fighters, many of them at the elite level.

“I would definitely say somewhere in the percentage of 85 percent of guys are definitely using, especially the guys who can afford it are definitely using,” said Soszynski. “I would even go as high as 95 to 96 percent of the top level athletes that are definitely using it. You can clearly see it… ”

“If there’s a substance you can take out there that’s going to make you bigger, stronger, more explosive, going to help you train harder, going to help you train longer, and it’s going to help with your recovery as well, and you know if you take it the right way and follow the right instructions, you’ll never get caught for it, wouldn’t you take it?… ”

“It’s just part of guys trying to become the best,” said Soszynski. “You want to become the best, you’re going to do anything and everything you can to become the best, and this is one of those things.”

In the interview ‘The Polish Experiment’ admits that he had used PEDs as a bodybuilder but doesn’t now. He notes that there are several successful fighters who are free of PED use and would simply like an “even playing field” for all fighters.
