began to be looked down upon and ridiculed. Yet juiced became relished and admired. Isn't juiced cheating, creating a fake physique that most can attain if they have any semblance of self control and determination.
Pro bodybuilding is a spectator sport. The spectators and thus the judges demand that the contestants look like superheroes. The only way most men can achieve this look is by using performance enhancing drugs. Sure it is cheating. Since more do it than don't, it begs the question of who is cheating who.
As best as I can tell, what gets cheated in the long run is the bodybuilder's health. That's kind of ironic too, when you think about it. A bodybuilder should be and often is the picture of health. That picture is often a fake since what it takes to be a successful pro-bodybuilder today is not particularly healthy. He looks massive but his kidneys and heart are shot.....something is wrong with this picture.
