Steroids are illegal in our country. Why is professional bodybuilding (like the IFBB for instance) allowed to exsist? These men are all clearly on steroids, so shouldnt professional bodybuilding be illegal too?
Good question. I have NO IDEA. By the way, Ronnie Coleman used to be a cop. I read that he quit the force since he's obviously taking his fair share of steroids.[b said:Quote[/b] (fearofthedark @ Sep. 12 2005,1:58)]Steroids are illegal in our country.

Because in steroids and sports people only really care if the roids are used to gain a competitive advantage over other athletes. In body building on that level they're all obviously 'on', so there's no unlevel playing field or anything like that. Plus since body building is not a major sport like baseball or football, it's under the radar. No one really cares unless it's sensationalized or otherwise in their face.[b said:Quote[/b] (fearofthedark @ Sep. 12 2005,4:58)]Steroids are illegal in our country.

I personally appreciate more men`s body fitness. I don`t know excactly how popular this is around the world, but here in Scandinavia it`s gettin more and more comperitors. Basically it`s bodybuilding with doping testing and the poses are anatomical. Also there is a weight limit corresponding to your height[b said:Quote[/b] (Totentanz @ Sep. 15 2005,2:40)]If you want to see a contest of natural bodybuilders, just check out some stuff from the pre-dianabol era.
thats true, but most of them require a minimum of 5-7 years of being drug free. How foolproof the lie detector and drug test are is questionable though. Another thing is that I believe in most of the competitions ephedra, and prohormones are admissable so it really isn't all that drug free.[b said:Quote[/b] ]There are plenty of guys in the natural competitions who haven't always been natural...
