I thought it was generally accepted that being natural just means you can pass the drug test.
The other competitors there are about as natural as he was, so it's a moot point.
By definition, most people are natural on the day of the show, coming off at the right time helps to get rid of the last water.
The blame, if that word can be used, is on Sev, who was running his mouth about some 80's look.
That was unrealistic.
Anyone who has trained for a while would have known 8 weeks out how the guy is gonna look.
The even dumber specimen will now think to get more size even more steroids will be needed, or another magic drug.
