SHIT MAN
How do you remember to wipe your ass after taking a dump being as stupid as you are? I did not say he DIDN'T take drugs, so why are you so hung up on that? I said I congratulate him on not DESTROYING himself with DRUG ABUSE and the bobybuilding lifestyle....THAT MEANS I AM GLAD HE DIDN'T DO THE MAGNITUDE AND MULTITUDE OF DRUGS (both hormone and recreational) THAT TODAYS BB DOES IN AN ATTEMPT TO WIN A TROPHY AND IN THE PROCESS DESTROY HIS HEALTH OR WORST CAUSE HIS DEATH!!!!!
Vic was/is smart enough to see the REAL DEAL about BB and the risks his fellow BBs were/are taking to get a worthless trophy and small town fame. He saw what was going on in PRO BB where as YOU and the masses don't know JACKSHIT but act otherwise. In all honesty YOU an the rest of the CRACKED HEADS on this thread should have a lot more respect for the man being that at best, all you say is at best speculation or as in this case a FLAT OUT LIE. He should be a respected person because he is an example of a person having a threshold that he will not cross. I wish some other BB would learn to DRAW THE LINE, so that like Benoit, Perry, Matarazzo, DeMayo, Titus etc etc they don't end up dead, in jail or with destroyed health for essentially nothing.
So far as your opinion on Vic not having a back...DON'T BE MORE STUPID THAN I ALREADY KNOW YOU TO BE...It is clear you have never seen Vic, but rather speak as a jealous jerk or someone who has nothing but HATE to express. You can Google Vics vids and see what an awesome BB he was (and still is) and how there was NO COMPETITOR WHO COULD HAVE CHALLENGED THE GUY IN HIS DAY even Mr Olympia Ronnie Coleman would have been challenged to defeat Vic in his prime. You can not make an argument over that...that is unless you just wish to be viewed as totally retarded and clueless to bodybuilding.

Steroids come with their own risks. Competing doesn't mean you are automatically a crack head.
Dorian managed to be Mr O without going to niche American nightclubs all the time, he just turned up and won. Doing well at a show does not mean being a junkie, although obviously hjstory has proved the two are not mutually exclusive.
I think Vic is great, one massive powerful bastard, BUT he famously lacked refinement. He did not have a world class back, as anyone can see in the famous FIBO clip or any footage released in fact. If good back footage existed would he not want people to see it? Actual pics of his back are also hard to find, presumably for this reason. He was narrow in the delts for his enormous chest and chunky waiste, and never actually demonstrated the ability to achieve great condition. The Olympia is all about christmas trees and back width, Vic showed no evidence of either, by all means prove me wrong! Consequently, it is beyond ignorant to assume he would somehow definitely be able to get into unbeatable condition and challenge Ronnie or Dorian (Mr O at the time, inhuman conditioning) or something. There are plenty of 275lb (his actual competition weight) giants around, but detail, refinement and overall condition are essential for getting anywhere these days.
In photoshoots and gym videos, however, he looked absolutely incredible. His arms and pretty much everything else were thick as a brick, but I am in no way stupid for highlighting the flawed simplicity of such a basic analysis as yours.
