I remember seeing Boyer with Kiana Tom on that ESPN show I think called CO-Ed training as he guested on a few episodes in the early to mid 1990s..

I think he was around 44/45 old at the time and still looked HUGE.. I wonder at that time what "supplements' he was on.

Course if he was competing in the Masters Olympia around that time he had to be on a bucket load of stuff I guess to be competitive at that age...

True the sport couldn't exist without steroids. So many naturals are claiming they are natural because they are taking less than the other guy.  You have guys injecting a ton of test saying they are on hormone replacement.

I wish the sport wasn't based on drug use. Imagine a 170lbs Zane winning the Olympia? Mentzer competing at 190lbs. I would still have it's fans but it would be a real subculture of a sport.

What would 99+% of sports be like without one
Type of PED's or another ?

It's Not Just Bodybuilding.

How come all fans of steroid think all athletes use?  Pro bodybuilding 100%.  Yes, in all sports they catch users but you know 99% of athletes are not users.

You seriously Believe the top atheletes in each sport are not using
one kind or another of PED's ?? Really  ::)

And for you're information I competed & won National titles without
any PED's - Only I was not going to win any world titles without them,
I was to Dumb / Ignorant back then to know about PED's  ::)
As I certainly would've liked to have won a world championship.

one of my Biggest regret's was not being aware / knowing back then.

Try another tactic Mr Clean  ::)

I would say conservatively that 75% of athletes outside of bodybuilding use some sort of performance enhancing drugs.

In No Gi grappling, there’s no testing and no one even denies gear use. It’s actually refreshing to not have your intelligence insulted.

Conversely, I saw a CrossFit page with a guy, obviously juiced, who posted pics and acted all insulted after getting called on it.

Its funny to tell people who obviously use gear that you admire them for going the natural route

Yup... He was at his biggest at that time I believe. He's on the "Pumping Iron Wannabee" Ferrigno 'Comeback' DVD. (Stand Tall).
It came as a 2nd disc on one of the Incredible Hulk DVD releases.
Boyer never shied away from steroid talk and admittance as far as I remember...

All of them would except pro bbing, bbing as whole is dependent heavily on drugs because it’s all aesthetics based on looks and looks only

I'm not quite sure of that....does he mean if they were never invented or if they were banned?

Off course the druggies like Boyer would think it's the only way....

You think Marathon runners don't use PEDS?

What changed around 92/93? Coe and Ferigno both did the Masters at this time and both were bigger and leaner than ever. That's the same year Dorian made the leap from good to other worldly.

I mean Boyer competed in dozens of shows from the late 60's to the 80's.... then comes back at 45 bigger and more ripped than ever? Louie too? Louie was insanely huge at that time.  What changed. Everyone was saying it was HGH but that's still not clear what effect gh has on muscle size other than the increased hunger/appetite and calorie surplus.

It was the GH 100%. In a high dose it can have dramatic visual effects on some, whatever the exact mechanisms. Remember, Lou also had carpal tunnel surgery at the time and I don't think it was a coincidence. Benfatto also did a similar transformation.
