The IFBB is a Signatory to the World Anti-Doping Agency Code.

IIRC in the early 90's the IFBB brought in testing for the Mr. Olympia and a lot tested positive lol! So that seemed to just disappear

I don't see how Coleman is a cheat when all the other athletes are doing the same. It's a level playing field, it's just a case of who's stoopid enough to take the most gear and has the best genes.

and?

the IFBB know that people want to see these guys looking huge. so is he a cheat - yes....but with little or no consequence. he does it to win/please the fans, whos upset by it?

do you drive at 31mph? YOUR A LAW breaker! does anyone care? no, not even the police would stop you.

i dont like the BB style (that started with Haney/Yates) but im not bothered by it......i do know that when i watched Rocky 4 the audience gasped when Stallone took of his robe for the final fight, no one sat there shouting cheat or law breaker! and i would rather see that than have him show up looking "normal"......i assume its the same for BB fans.....I cant see the problem in giving them what they want while giving success to those in it (its a free sport, anyone can leave if they dont like where its heading)

To say that guy has a nice body is a matter of opinion! I like girls myself but I'd like to bet most females would prefer guys with a more athletic physique, as opposed to looking like a hulk.

Saw an interesting documentary the other day (The bank of Mum and Dad I think) about a guy with financial problems, he did bodybuilding and took roids - as a result of some serious insecurity issues. Was quite sad actually. He sorted his finances out but couldn't give uP the steroids. Anyone see it?

i think in this instance we are assuming the beauty is in the eye of the person themselves and those around them......the original point was using nice cars as an example, which works well as most girls would think a scoob is a bag of old ****e in much the same way as they may feel ronnie is a tad large.

hence my point referring to the documentary about the bloke with insecurities who only felt confident/happy with himself and his appearance when he did steroids. Not saying all drug using bodybuilders are like this by the way.

He may have small nads, a low IQ and is a cheat, but since he’s at the top of his game an under achiever he isn’t, earning the £££££ what many of us would dream of.

At the end of the day, bodybuilding is profession just like any other sport and it pays well with many of the top bodybuilders earning millions from competitions, advertising and sponsorships, so its easy to understand why many take ‘roids and do whatever they can to get to that shape and to get away with it.
