I agree that "athletes" is a stretch, but object to your implication that only the female bodybuilders are trading sexual favors for drugs and money. Hate to break it to you, but the male "athletes" are doing the same thing.
When did he say that only female Bbers trade sexual favors? You're on GB, baby, here everybody knows and makes fun of the G4P antics, the citrus fucking, the chilli dogging, the paper browning, the ice making going on in the BB industry. Bbbers male and female are not athletes. End of the story.
