Over the last couple years your bodybuilding buddy has developed a good physique. You have trained with him regularly, spotted him, and generally watched him grow. He has done a couple moderate cycles and you know this for a fact; he has told you about it and you have seen the stash in his fridge.Now, your buddy tells you that he is gearing up for a contest; the punch line is it is a natural show. Wait a minute! Aren’t natural shows supposed to be drug free? Your friend seems oblivious to the contradiction. Your friend enters the show and easily wins. The next year he is gearing up for another natural show with an even bigger purse! Do you point out the contradiction? Tell him he is a hypocrite and a cheat? Do you remain silent on the subject and support him in preparation for the show? Attend the show and cheer for him when he “wins”?How do you react when your friend shows you a write-up about him in the local paper or in a BB magazine that gushes about the virtues of natural/drug free bodybuilding?What would you do?
What if you were a judge in the contest he is about enter? When you confront him about it being a natural show, he tells you that “everyone juices” in these shows—it is just a matter of how much. Is he right?
Natural shows have a purse?
If this just a hypothetical scenario or do you actually have a friend juicing and competing in natural competitions?
