IF the IFBB went NATURAL??......

Well, that too.  I think they should bring back the weight-lifting part of the bodybuilding show that they had back in the 40's and 50's.  I'd have a much better chance.

Vince, you wouldn't even win a posedown with big auntis Jemina and Letoya next door to your shanty

the 1990 Olympia is the perfect example, Haney, Labrada, Gaspari, Christian and all those guys showed up looking no bigger than most average guys in the gym when it was drug tested.

Any pics of that show online? I'm curious to see them.

1. Who do you think would be Mr. Olympia.

2. Who would shrink to oblivion?

3. Would you follow the sport more or less?

4. Would you be sad to see the drug dealing,gay for pay,recreational rampant drug use go away for good because naturals don`t have time for that shit?

If the IFBB went natural the bodybuilding would seise to exist. No one would waste their hard earned money to watch a bunch of soft small guys on a stage. Bodybuilding is like being in the mafia. You make a desicion knowing all the reprecussions to follow.

The IFBB has an advantage over natural organizations in that they have a long history, the best bodybuilders, and are pretty much the only show in town.  If they chose to go natural (tested) and the competitors looked like they did at the '90 Olympia, I don't think that would deter fans or sponsors at all.  In fact, most would see it as a step in the right direction.  True, the guys in the '90 Olympia were not really naturals, but instituting enough drug testing to take the look of the sport back 20 years would be a good start.
