Ronnie Coleman won this year, and he damn well deserved it!

I wont say that he didn't deserve it but I would rather look like Sergio Oliva then him. And the first time he won the Olympia he should have lost to Flex Wheeler.

Disgusting - they're all freaks and he's the worst of the lot. Ripped, sure, but ugly as all get out. Oh, don't forget the shrinkage too... He's practically a woman now, probably.

That they are freaks, and this is not natural, nor is it what true bodybuilding was about in the old days. I do not watch or care to see this stuff anymore, as it grossly misrepresents bodybuilding and strength training.

However, steroids will not make you a woman. In fact, they usually cause an increase in penis size (due to extra blood flow, more ability to hold more blood) while at the expense of causing your testicles to shrink. This only happens while "on" because the body's natural production of testosterone shuts off. Those who use steroids tend to go through cycles and also use things to help promote natural testosterone production. So they usually go back to normal after a cycle.

Of course, there are other side effects that can occur, but a properly planned cycle with the right amount of steroids and anti-estrogen drugs can prevent many side effects from ever happening (gyno, heart problems, liver problems, etc.).

And FYI: Roid Rage is a myth. Those who exhibit roid rage do so because they were already very aggressive or showed psychotic behavior.

Sergio doesnt have quite as much mass and proportion as Coleman. But he is right up there.

Word up. Arnold, Sergio, Franco Columbo, Frank Zane, Lou Ferrigno and the gang didn't use anything near what the competitors use these days.

A sport that relies solely on drugs to get so big? I'm not so naive to think that no other athletes in other major sports don't take enhancing drugs but they certainly don't use such obvious, severely (unnaturally) altering drugs as these guys do.

What exactly is the sport? Fill needle, insert needle, eat 8000 calories a day, and work out all day? Yeah - really sporting. Sorry, I repeat, these guys are freaks. They may have a natural predilection to being muscular but let's face it - they're far beyond "ability" and way into "mutation".

You can, of course, show me my ignorance by showing me what exactly is "sporting" about this. I'm open to comments.
