1990 Ollympia - the drug tested year

[240 is Back]

Does anyone have pics of the 1990 Olympia where they implemented drug testing?  I just read on another thread that Lee haney was a shadow of his former self, and I remember that Labrada looked like he should have won.  Anyone have pics from this show?  (90 was the year, correct?)

Was that the year Shawn Ray tested positive?

I think so - At the 90 Arnold Classic - the "natural" Mike Ashley was given the win.  Ashley's pic is hanging high on Victor Conte's wall, so we know he clearly had help.  It's the 1990 Olympia that I'm curious about.  I'd like to see what haney looked like in 1989, vs. 1990, to see the decline in one year

For what did they test? heroine and coffee?

I've got it on tape from ESPN, Haney was down like 20lbs, not as hard as he was and arms and legs looked really shallow.  Labrada looked good but he was a little softer than he was in the past.  Ray and Mike Christian looked great.  Gaspari was 5th and he was waaaay down from what he was doing at the time.  Benfatto looked incredible IMO, legs were a little smallish but his upper body was great, ripped to shreds, he probably compared well to everyone in terms of upper body developement, but lost out when it came to legs.

hahahha for real...i heard the drug test was multiple choice ...

yep, basically everything but gear.

most oil based roids show up for up to a year, especially the nandrolones.

if it was legite, everyone would have failed.

well it was obvious they didn't test for everything, if anyone can do it post a pic from the 90 arnold of Mike Christian and then one from the Olympia, at the Arnold I could almost believe he was kinda clean cause he was waaay down in size and hardness but by the time the O rolled around he was probably at or near his alltime best.

Official IFBB drug test excerpt:

Which of the following is a good steroid for cutting:

1. Dianabol
2. Stanozolol
3. Testosterone
4. Parabolan
5. I don't give a fuck, i take all of them.

attempting to predict when these guys were clean based on their condition is futile.

christian, for example, was known to use a lot of coke and was extremely haphazard with his training. if he ever got his shit together for longer than a few weeks he might have given lee a run for his money.

I remember back in the now defunct WBF days, Vince McMahon was having all the atheletes drug tested because of his indictment back in 1994. Mike Christian, Lou Ferrigno, Mike Quiinn and the rest of these great bbdr's all looked ridiculous off gas and on stage. Sad.

ferrigno never competed with the wbf.

you're right about the rest though. that was about as natural as i'd ever seen of the top tier but it was obvious that some ie strydom, jim quinn knew something about getting past the test because their condition didn't suffer to the same extent and before any misguided fool tells me that maybe they didn't need gear so much, have a look at the pic squadfather displayed here of a clean strydom.

Haney was off that year, but Labrada looked good, so did  Shawn Ray (career best shape up to that point) and Mike Christian (also probably career best shape).

the winner was off

but places 2 to 4 were all in great shape.

rich gaspari, who placed 5th, was a little off too.

I thought it was Heroin not Coke if im mistaken im sorry.

There is lots of pics here if you are a member. I cant be arsed posting them

I think Shawn tested positive for Deca.
Just a point of note Dan Duchane bragged in a interview that he helped quite a few Pros cheat on drug tests for the 1990.
So how many where actually drug free and not just using less drugs

By the way Lee Labrada should definitely have won that year.

[Shawn Ray]

I passed the test at the Olympia in 90 and finished 3rd at 204lbs.
I've never tested positive for Deca.
Just the facts

Damn Bodybuilders and their Jane Eyre novels.

I believe for stanazol it's irrelevant at this point.at 204 was as close to perfection and muscle fullness you could get.fr most muscular ranks as one of the best on a bber had all the muscle full/mass to hit that pose.

think shawn just failed a test for diuretics. dunno what year. but his price money was not given to him.
