[ Q ] What message would you like to give to the younger bodybuilder contemplating drug use?
Don’t do it. I have been training for over 20 years and have learned that within time like wine, your body will get better and better. Understand that bodybuilding is not to impress girls, or to look good on the beach during spring break. Bodybuilding is a lifestyle for you to follow for the rest of your life.
It’s like this… a person who does something for the wrong reason will never truly be one with himself. He or she will go on through life looking for ways to get things without the right intention. Remember, when your body is pure then and ONLY then will you be given the greatness from God.

Has social networking gone too far with giving younger “fans” the option to show their love for “performance enhancing drugs”?

We have created a new class of Americans our country called “Athletes.” For example, the focus on drug and steroid testing in sports is absurd when you consider that professional athletes are tested more than Supreme Court Justices, Members of Congress, the President of the United States, and other elected officials. Additionally, despite the disproportionately high incidents of substance abuse among health care practitioners and the undeniable potential risks to their patients, there are no uniform workplace testing programs for health care practitioners that are similar to the testing programs in sports. What is it about possessing the elite athletic prowess that justifies treating a man or woman differently from others whose impact on our lives are potentially much more profound?
Bigger, Stronger, Faster
Bigger, Stronger, Faster, a documentary from, 2008 addresses the use and abuse of steroids by Americans in many different facets of sports and entertainment. The brother of the director who worked as a professional wrestler under the name “Mike Belle”, and also stars in the film passed away in the months proceeding the films release.
