Comment | @Lonelobo: while I agree with you that steroid use was perfectly legal in the sixties when S. started his "career," it is also a fact that without steroids, the body building industry would be doing as well as it is and body builders in general would be unable to accumulate such physical mass and size. In that sense (at least to my mind), all of them were cheats because they wouldn't have been able to be as cut as they were/are. Consequently, without his steroids, S. probably would not have had the career he's had: without steroids probably no Mr. Universe titles, without the titles no shot at "acting," without his acting millions probably no Kennedy, etc., etc. :-)
However, I disagree with your sentiment that "various drug programs and cycles" really aren't "that different from complicated workout or nutrition schedules." I think it's a big difference if I watch what I eat like a hawk or if I ingest a complicated concoction of drugs. Yes, both may be complicated to maintain, but I prefer healthy nutrition over synthetic drugs any day. |
