so you respect people who are using drugs!
hmmmm
You certainly don't have to take steroids to use 130s on the dumbbell press. I've never taken anabolics and I've used 110s (though right now, the heaviest my gym has is 105s).
Sounds to me as if you're sentenced yourself to life as a weakling. Maybe if you actually took some of Skip's advice, you'd have a better physique for your trouble.
I don't know why LaCour got blasted for his pro status. He never asked for a pro card. When the NPC changed the rules and made the Team Universe a pro qualifier (likely because the Mr. Universe kept being held in Muslim countries), they made that ruling retroactive, meaning that anyone who won the TU overall title gets a pro card.
LaCour won it twice (1998 and 2002). NPC only needed to go back to 2001, because all the other TU winners already had their pro cards. So, Skip LaCour, along with Greg Rando, got pro status (or eligibility, at least).
