Yes, the question of diuretics starts showing up in the early 70's with some editorials criticizing competitors for coming in too lean and vascular.

By the mid to late 70's, they were a fact of bodybuilding life.

I think the real question is: why didn't Benaziza's death cause a much stricter policy on diuretics and being "too ripped"?

he died overseas, so it doesn't count.

it's like if you take a business trip to Slovakia and spend a night in a hostel with a beautiful american girl, it doesn't count when you come back home to your ball and chain.

I'm paying $25k for my vacation, so I'm sure mine will end much happier than that.

25K for a vacation?

And does that come only from building $300 websites?

I had to outbid a lot of other guys for this trip.  You've never been to this hostel, have you?
