The Lewis and Floorwax show in Denver interviewed Heath today with "hometown boy does good" theme. Some pics and recordings of interview at: http://www.thefox.com/pages/LandF.html (http://www.thefox.com/pages/LandF.html) Heath sidestepped the inevitable steroid question. He did state that there are steroids in all sports.

Definitely hard to define bodybuilders as athletes. Dictionary defines an athlete as: "a person trained or gifted in exercises or contests involving physical agility, stamina, or strength; a participant in a sport, exercise, or game requiring physical skill."
Could be considered a sport if extended to broadest definition, esp. #3 below (a "diversion, recreation, pleasant pastime"). Still, it does take some physical prowess to pose for an audience and judges when one is depleted, and dehydrated. (Ask Paul Dillett who froze up when posing at the 1994 Arnold.)
Sport
1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.
2. a particular form of this, especially in the out of doors.
3. diversion; recreation; pleasant pastime.
4. jest; fun; mirth; pleasantry: What he said in sport was taken seriously.
5. mockery; ridicule; derision: They made sport of him.

I remember in the old bodybuilding mags of the 40's, 50's you would see the bodybuilding contests were mixed in with feats of strength. Maybe if that is what they did it could be considered a sport. No knocking on bodybuilding, I am obviously a fan. I just find it hard to see it as a sport.

I liked what he said about america being obese because they're overworked, too busy to cook, and too bombarded with advertisements for garbage quality fast food from all directions almost every hour of their waking lives.

More of a male body pageant. It really is incredible that bodybuilding has been around so long, yet the public remains so ignorant about it.
