Drugs can be used by whomever wants to use them. It's more than true, though, that everything evolves-even tastes...and there isn't a person on this board that can honestly say to themselves that the taste of the general public isn't more geared to the WAY smaller, more athletic looking build. Even though our current champ is still among the mass monsters, I think even the drug sport is showing major signs of evolution-and most of these signs are due to the fact that, whatever you want to blame it on, IFBB bodybuilders are dying-or, at the very least, someone is in the hospital every two seconds(or prison).
Maybe in the near future, competitive bbing is just going to die out...I don't know, but I know it's not going to keep going in this same direction. The athletes being the way they are right now is not so much the problem as it is a symptom of the problem. The problem is the audience's lust for freakiness. The solution, and I see this being realized as we speak, is the fact that that lust is being or even has been fufilled now. People's tastes have changed. Even the biggest fans of IFBB bodybuilding dislike today's bodybuilding and bodybuilders-just check out this forum any time of the day, any day of the week-you'll never find a group of 'fans' more hateful for the very sport or hobby, or whatever you want to call it, they are claiming to be fans of. If you don't think this is true, then I don't know what else to say...I guess I'd say that you haven't actually been reading the board.
Bottom line, the truth or the best path makes itself known in all areas of life. And this one is no different. People hating on drug users need to calm down and other people's decisions, and drug users and their fans whining about the lack of appeal of the smaller physiques need to open up their minds a little bit and stop looking at bodybuilding as a their way to make up for something lacking in their lives.
....one last little comment, I think that the use of drugs AND SUPPLEMENTS has also had a negative affect on the totally clean(drug and supplement free) bodybuilders. When those two things started dominating the sport, research went into them rather than into how to build bigger and stronger bodies without these things. There's been tons done now of course, but think of how much more could have been done. Also think of how the bbers back in the day, totally natural or low dose early AAS users, all tended to look a lot bigger and stronger than the naturals of today. I wonder if that doesn't have anything to do with the fact that they were forced to get there on their own steam rather than with help from a bunch of external sources.
