Absolutely. Dickerson is one of the nicest people in or out of bodybuilding I have ever met.

Met him once very briefly in the 70`s........complete gentleman.

No clue,but it couldn`t have been very heavy.


I read all this in several bb mags back in the day,but who truly knows how accurate it really could be?

Lotsa disinformation to poorly hide the emerging reliance on gear back then. "They work harder than you" and "elite genetics  "

Racist schmoes?

I recall read a Flex mag where Rick Wayne wrote some horribly derogatory shit saying how ugly Johnny Fuller was.  I'll see if I can find somewhere, but after that I always liked Fuller, just cause he had to put up with something like that, poor dude.

Yes, I remember he also used to call him a "Bete noir", in French that's "Dumb Black" so Rick Wayne definitely had some issues, as he was black himself!!

No it's not, lol!

It means "black beast" it's a compliment.

And there "bete" is spelled "bête". But I know, fuck off French grammar police, lol...

No. It translates as 'black beast,' and is commonly used to refer to a nemesis.
