Jake Paul hits back at accusations he\u2019s taking steroids for Tyron Woodley fight Instagram: Jake Paul \/ ShowtimeJake Paul denied accusations he\u2019s taking performance-enhancing drugs in the lead-up to his fight against Tyron Woodley, claiming he gets tested regularly and that people are doing it for clout. The highly-anticipated fight between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley is fast approaching. Things were already heated between them. However, it kicked up a notch after one of Paul\u2019s crew members appeared to have a verbal spat with Woodley\u2019s mother. And if that wasn\u2019t already enough drama, MMA coach Firas Zahabi, who coached UFC legend George St-Pierre, claimed he \u201cdefinitely thinks\u201d Paul is using performance-enhancing drugs to \u201cmake up for what he lacks.\u201d But during an interview with True Geordie on the first episode of his new fighting podcast series, The Pain Game, Paul denied those claims. He explained how they\u2019re wrong, and why he thinks people are making them. \u201cMy manager texted me [and told me] that George St Pierre\u2019s coach is saying that you\u2019re using performance-enhancing drugs,\u201d he said. \u201cThese guys are trying to do anything at this point to discredit me, to make me look stupid, or to make any excuse. Paul also explained that the \u201ccraziest part\u201d about the accusations is that they don\u2019t count because he\u2019s now doing \u201creal professional fights,\u201d and he gets drug tested regularly. \u201cHow can you even make this claim? It\u2019s clout. They\u2019re running out of excuses.\u201d \u201cI\u2019m over here eating ice cream, and these guys are accusing me of taking performance-enhancing drugs. I\u2019m packing on some fat because I\u2019m going to drive that fat through Tyron Woodley\u2019s skull. That\u2019s what gives me my power.\u201d The lead-up to the fight has been an eventful one, and the performance-enhancing drug claims are the latest addition in what has been a drama-filled roller-coaster ride. But once they step into the ring on August 29, the only thing that matters is who reigns supreme. And with Paul going in as the bookie\u2019s favorite, Woodley could very well be the next stepping stone in his emerging legacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
