PROFESSIONALS DON’T ‘HAVE A CHOICE’ TO SKIP STEROIDS

Attention is turning to the bodybuilding business, the life of its stars, and the toll the quest to look “perfect” places on their bodies.

Many could be forgiven for thinking the athletes’ bodies are in good health when they see bulging muscles and toned physiques.

But as late bodybuilder Rich Piana admitted in 2016 the use of steroids – which he says is widespread and almost inevitable for professionals – “hurts your body.”

Piana, who died in 2017 two weeks after being placed in an induced coma, said in 2016: “If you have the choice to stay natural or do steroids, stay natural.

“There’s no reason to do steroids, you’re only hurting your body, you’re hurting yourself.”

But he admitted: “If you want to become a professional bodybuilder, guess what? You’re probably going to have to f***ing do them. You’re not going to have a choice.”
