Arnold, 7x Mr. Olympia, wants drug tested competition. His opinion on modern bodybuilding is very well known and he is quoted saying “it is body building, not body destroying”. A lot of the modern drug use today is a result of the freaky mass monster that are seen today.
Compared to the 70’s and 80’s, the mass monsters today use a lot of drugs. Some drug dealers have said they don’t know half the stuff that is being used today. In the “golden era” guys used D-bol, test, etc. GH, insulin and others were not around or not popular yet. John Meadows also said “we have gone from using drugs in prep to never going off cycle of drugs” on the iron culture podcast with Omar isuf & Eric helms.
Do I think this a good idea? Both yes and no. I think there should be natural competitions that exist, however, I do think open (not tested) competitions should remain as a stable part of the IFBB and other organizations. Natty competitions should be there for those who do not want to juice. However, I think having a place for the freaks and drug users to compete is a good idea.
What do you guys think? You think all competitions should be drug tested? Just some? Why?
