I don't care what an individual puts in their body if it's not harming others. But if they are competing in a sport where PED's are banned but some are using PED's while others are not it's obviously cheating. How can that even be argued?


I don't understand your argument.

You keep saying in a sport where PED's are banned. The olympia is not banning PED's.

I was not aware they are currently not banned. A guy I knew pretty well from Scottsdale (RIP Vinny Comerford) flew to Chicago in the early 90's to compete in the Mr Olympia but did not compete in the contest when he found out he was to be tested and flew back to AZ. I admit I haven't followed bodybuilding since the mid-90's and I guess I had always assumed they were banned. So the IFBB pretty much knows they are widely-used and just looks the other way? I know a lot of men and women who train at my gym- including an ex-girlfriend who competed in bikini and got her pro card as well as some friends competing in Men's Physique at the local level- and they are candid about their use of steroids/test. And they for the most part say everyone competing is using stuff.
