Clearly from the pics he looks juiced to the gills. However, when u stand next to him at an expo he is much, much smaller overall size wise than your typical IFBB pro. Even much shorter 212 guys are way thicker and denser than he is. The 212+ guys at his height, and even shorter, dwarf him size wise. It's not even close. He actually looks normal sized in clothes while these other guys do not. I don't think the pics present the total picture.
I say this with all due respect but we all know that just because he isn't as big as most ifbb pros doesn't mean he isn't using PEDs. The majority of the posters here think the thread where Dorian and Leverone talk about their respective usage is a lie, and they're admitting to using drugs.
Barry Bonds, ARod, Ryan Braun etc... didn't even look like they worked out let alone used testosterone (and the same could be said of many people in gyms worldwide), but we are aware of what the truth is.
Regardless of drugs or not Doug has elite genetics for muscle building, he also works extremely hard to get in shape.
Steroids aren't going to make you hit home runs, but if you can hit them steroids will make you much better. You need the skill/talent first PED'S only enhance what you have. This is true with bodybuilding.
Ronnie Coleman (or anyone you want to put here) didn't win Olympia's because he took more drugs than everyone else but he won because his genetics for building muscle were better then everyone he competed against.
*Ronnie off drugs wasn't winning anything either.
Maybe Doug isn't using anything illegal. Maybe he is doctoring photos. Maybe his genetics are in the upper 1% of muscle building. Maybe he's only on hrt dosages. Maybe he is juiced to the gills. Maybe he's drug free and telling the truth. Or maybe he's not and he's trying to make a living in an industry that tells us you can take a ZMA pill and increase your testorone levels 473%.
