These guys that attain incredible competition physiques are training, eating, sleeping, living, breathing, shitting their sport.

(I haven't read this whole thread, so I'm hoping that this has been covered elsewhere.)

Okay, if these athletes CAN attain incredible competition physiques, by training, eating, sleeping, living, breathing, sh#$%^ their sport. Why bother, risking going to jail, getting ache and "risk" baldness? Ban the substances from all competitions and let each athlete work on the best body possible thru training, diet and genetic makup.

You ever watch Nascar? All the cars are exactly the same, wind resistance, horsepower, tires, ect...and its boring as fuck. If all bodybuilding was Natural it would be the same way, anybody can attain a natural physique through hard work and dedication, but dont think for a minute that any pro in the IFBB works any less hard just because they are taking performance enhancing substances. People take the risk of juicing because of their dedication to the sport.

People take the risk of juicing because of the dedication to the sport? They JUICE because they are in a sport that believes "whatever it takes" to win. The latest issue of Muscular Development mag had an excellent article on this issue (talking about the bodybuilders of the 90's).
