Are retired IFBB pros embarassed/ashamed of their drug usage?

[El Diablo Blanco]

I can understand them not wanting to talk about it while training.  Most of them have magazine and supplement contracts and don't want to fuck it up.  But why do they continue to lie even when they are retired and older?  Are they ashamed of what they did?  You rarely ever hear any of them talk about their cycles and when they do they are complete utter bullshit claiming 200mg test a week and nothing else type crap.

If you were injecting yourself in the ass twice a day would you wanna talk about it?

You have asked and answered your own question.  One does not find many former drug users publicly bragging about how they indulged.  Talking about drug use moves the conversation away from their own effort, discipline, etc. and focuses it on the pill or syringe.  No athlete wants that.  Just ask Lance Armstrong. This is true when the stakes are very high (Olympic/pro athlete) and very low (former IFBB Pro).

probably find it annoying after the 500th person asks them. i know i do when people ask diet or workout questions and you know they are'nt going to listen or do any of it in the first place. So I just give standardized bullshit answers now.

Same here. I don't even hear myself saying it at this point.

And when someone asks the steroid question I give my answer according to whether I might be able to sell him a few bottles
