John Balik Swore up and down it was legit... He seems like a credible guy in my book.
This is when Flex magazine had a Drug World column every month, (which was actully very good...one issue had Mike Christian going into explicit detail about his drug regimine, and life), MM2k was exposing BBing for what it was...in regards to drug use etc, and there was a lot of riveraly between the mags.
MM2K doesnt really get enough credit these days...they were calling bullshit on "All Drug" physiques, and G4P, long before Getbig existed.
