^^^ Agreed. But I bet you would be shocked as to the level of 'Naturals' who aren't actually 'natural'

The Tour De France is now just considered by many to be a complete joke in terms of the level of 'doping' which goes on with many sponsors dropping out as a result of the bad press generated.

bodybuilding is different.. its kind of an opposite approach from other sports in general..

in sports, its widely know performance enhancers are used. and interested parties try and guess who is or isnt taking them.

in bodybuilding we admit it.. but we have a group who admit they dont.. and interested parties try to guess who isnt taking them!

Someone said the other day that Ronnie claims to be all natural...?

I know Pikey used to compete as a natty powerlifter. I don't know if the comp was natty though.

from this thread it seems the standard approach is how can i or others "cheat" and pass as naturals.. that takes away from a massive amount of hard work natural competitors put in!

it pisses me off that i can no longer and never will be able to call myself natty, but thats my prob for fancying a dabble!

and yes i do thing there are alot of lying gits out there who claim to be natty!

whats the federation called where x users can compete and how close to the nattys are they?

great idea if its realistic physiques that are competing......

Not provoking an argument here, but Tour De France has proved doping works. End off.

Yes and no. What about all the riders who died in their sleep due to EPO abuse..?

The issue is they are competing in a sport which has a complete ban on doping etc.

Long and short is there can be no denying that alot of the medals taken home in sport these days is as a result of performance enhancing drugs.

If people choose to run the risks and take them then thats their business.

Problem comes with the press and the sponsors who don't want to be associated with whats essentially an illegal activity.

No denying that any professional sports people have to work very very hard for what they do.

And thats me firmly lodged on the fence with a non-committal reply
