Mike Francois had genetics that Yate's could only dream about. Probably the most genetically gifted bodybuilder of the last 15 years. He had a back, too. He would have beaten Yates, Flex, Coleman and the lot if he did not develop a severe case of Ulcerative Colitis that almost killed him. UC is a deadly disease when it flares and is treated with steroids (not anabolics guys...prednisone and solumedrol) along with other agents like mesalamine and even immunosuppresive agents. His career after that was over, as combining anabolics and the like with these agents would have been a death knell.
