No the worst is behind us. We are representing the badest shit period in time. The Pros are already getting healthier and smarter, and better than in a long time. The getbiggers of the future will laugh at how everything was junk back in our era. Gene therapy will make it healthier for one thing. No need to go overboard with androgen's, and other hormones to mess up you endocrine system for good. There are drugs coming right around the corner hwich that are not androgens but targets those same resptors, so there is no fuck up of endocrine system for the losers that feel they want to get huge, even though they are not competing for money.
My thread was obviously a joke.
I don't share your optimistic outlook and hope I am wrong about the not so distant future of pro bodybuilding.
Maybe I am getting to be am old fart , but I have lost interest in attending pro shows more for lack of organization and production quality ,than drug use.
The sport is not growing but headed in a more insular direction. The hard core crowd is fine with that, but with the exception of the Arnold and Olympia the pro sport of bodybuilding is headed nowwhere.
The NPC may do ok however, hard to say.
