I really don't care what others do to their bodies but if using illegal substances to reach the top when others are not is to me not respectable. Lance Armstrong obviously had talent, trained hard and reached the top of the cycling world but I have no respect for the guy. And I admired Barry Bonds for his athletic talent but certainly don't respect him for how he had to cheat to break the HR record. And I think a lot also has to do with the fact that I think the bodybuilder look is asinine but obviously others like it, to each their own.

When the whole pro bodybuilding game is filled with juicers you have no choice but to juice to reach the top. It's not like any of them are claiming to be natural. Arnold himself has admitted to some roid use.

Most, if not all, of the top echelon elite athletes also are on PEDs they just have professionals helping them not get caught and then once in a while they get popped.

Stop being naive. Wanna see sports without PEDs? Go look at football players in the 50s

There are tested and untested federations. It is not cheating in untested. Same with powerlifting and strongman.

Everyone complaining about it are bitching over nothing. It's not cheating if everyone is doing it and the rules are spelled out.

And people respect the work that goes into it, the dedication it takes.

Imo they all look like shite lol, but who am I to judge when I could never come close to anything resembling a top level competitive bodybuilder, strongman or powerlifter.
