Your post is so off base I'm not sure where to start. If diuretics were the reason why Nasser looked better at the 96 Olympia, how then do you explain the 6 following GP shows where he beat everyone (except for the ones which Dorian competed in) - for the next few weeks after the O did he continue using diuretics whereas nobody else did and that gave him an advantage? Truth is there was no diuretic test at the 96 Olympia, the competitors were informed there may be one and some used them some didn't. Nasser mentioned in confidence to Mike Matarazzo that he used diuretics, who passed on the info to Manion and that's what got Nasser DQ'ed. Also if Dorian really lost so much size in 96 in order to come in conditioned without diuretics why did his bodyweight not drop from his 95 showing? And by 97 he had gained lbs and weighed 270. By 96 Dorian's tears were becoming obvious yet he still won as he had the momentum of being the reigning Mr. O to his advantage + due to being a personal favourite among judges and IFBB officials.
Wow...... just wow. Dorian gains weight between every Olympia. Follow the ball here... Dorian tends to add muscle every year. You claimed he weighed the same as 95. Therefore, it follows that he added size in the offseason, and dieted EXTRA hard, dieting off the muscle he added in the offseason, putting him around the same weight as the year before but extra depleted for dryness.

Youre argument about the GP shows is retarded, they have NOTHING to do with the O. Nasser gambled on the diuretics and lost. If most competitors didnt use diuretics, the ones that cheated and used them would have a clear cut advantage right from the start - in this case Nasser did, he placed better because of it, then he got caught and DQ'd. End of story.
Entertaining your GP shows argument, of course Nasser is going to come into the GP shows a step ahead of the competitors that had to sacrifice size for dryness and conditioning @ the O.. Hes was able to hold onto more muscle and didnt have to worry about drying out, whereas the others already dieted a ton of muscle off, theyre already that much father behind.
Look I dont give a shit what bullshit excuses you come up with to make it OK, Nasser was DQ'd for diuretics, plain and simple, and no amount of explaining on your end changes that.
By your own statement Nasser admitted Diuretic use knowing a test was possible... so clearly he must have thought using them was worth the gamble of getting caught... kinda says a lot doesnt it?
