But i should imagine alot of them do gear and get away with it by clever use of release times and cycles. ______________________ You can never have enough protein! |

So i cant speak for bodybuilders but i would imagine the testing procedures to be similar. Weightlifting is full of steroid users, myself included while i competed. As ian says, its mostly clever use of cycles and release times. When i first found out how many lifters were taking stuff i couldnt believe it, every single lifter at national squad level and plenty more trying to get there. Greece/turkey/bulgaria are apparently provided anything they need by their national coach. |

Some steriods are even designed with pre-contest use in mind take masteron for example is used widely for contest preparation. I would think they might even test in amateur comps at times but it depends really, i don't compete so dont know a huge amount on the matter. ______________________ You can never have enough protein! |
