I found this article that describes how the rest of the world sees us.
Sometimes its good to know thy enemy! I thought Id share....
What's happening in bodybuilding today is a travesty and the indiscriminate use of drugs is the culprit. It's on a par with what's happening in our society today. The emphasis is on winning at any cost and anything goes just to win. Kids in Little League baseball, soccer, hockey, football, etc., are expected to win, win, win. I believe that this emphasis on winning is in part responsible for the predominance of drugs not only in bodybuilding but also in other sports. I also believe that you'll never stop it as long as the pressure in on winning. I've talked to bodybuilders who know that taking steroids and drugs will take years off their life, but they don't seem to care. That dream of winning is like the carrot before the horse.
Today a bodybuilder has to get his or her muscles larger and larger, more out of shape and more grotesque in order to win. Unfortunately, it can only be done with drugs. It should be the other way around, the body should be in perfect shape--in other words, good symmetry and without drugs. The use of unlawful drugs will destroy you mentally, physically, morally, and spiritually. The users are only cheating and lying to themselves. They are also breaking the law as well as nature's law.
