Do the female competitors take steroids too?

Just wondering if everyone that competes takes steroids :?: (obviously other than thoose competing in 'natural' body building comps).
And if steroid use is supposedly not allowed in competions and is meant to have regular testing, then why have natural competions??!! Aren't they all supposed to be?!
My husband bought a book on natural bb by john hanson, and to be honest I wasn't all that inspired by the look of him!! I am starting to think that the only way get really ripped is with drugs to help!! Saying that, I have that french chap ( n bb) on a dvd and he was smaller but very ripped looking so maybe there is hope after all! :?

it's the same for the men as for the women some girls do enhance there bodys by using steroids and fat burning aids same as some men do but not all. it depends on the look you want and what you want to do with it. do the benifits out weigh the risks. Taking steroids isnt a quick fix or a magic solution by any means. The best thing to do is learn abou the different things that can be used and then make your own informed choice.

Steroids are not taken into consideration by many federations hence no testing, steroids are less dangerous than many other compounds which can't be tested for as easily.

The testing is also expensive and so not practical to test everyone especially at larger events, it would make the contests too expensive to run if everyone were tested.

Mel have a look at the WNBF website, you'll see suitably ripped girls there who are drug tested. As I have said my Mrs won the BNBF Figure and had veins running up her abs, back and all over her arms and was night and day more ripped than the others in her class. This is with 18 months training under her belt, so it can be done drug free.

Jo ate 2 solid meals a day and had 4 protein drinks/meal reps and a protein bar each day and she stuck that really well and came in really fast, admittedly some peoples bodies do respond better than others and she seems to drop fat easily, I personally fought lengthy wars with the exercise bike to get my fat off.

i personally dont take steroids etc, and have competed in both non natural and natural shows..... some girls depending on what catagory they in for do not need to.

its not really a big deal these days whether you are or not and no one really says much, smiple case of if you are you are and if you aint ...well you aint.... altho there some cases where people get accused of taking gear when they never or didnt or havent, but thats just a jealous thing going on i think...but all in all.... there are some girls who do use the steroids etc, and some that dont.....

there is no pressure either way , and like dougie says a good diet and eating plan can sometimes if the girl has great genetics too can do the job ... and go on to beat those girls that do need some help, so all is possible
certainly drugs are not nesseccary the answer for all female athletes.
