Bodybuilders Flee, Leave Trail of Bronzer

If we have any Belgian readers, go ahead and thank us. We have the explanation for the herd of huge men in man-panties running at a full- speed waddle through your streets this weekend.

Belgian weightlifters at the Belgian National Bodybuilding Competition this weekend saw a doping tester enter the room, paused in the application of their bronzer, and then stampeded out of the room as fast as their huge legs would take them. By "weightlifters," I mean all of them in competition that weekend, twenty in all who made up the entire field for the event. The event had to be canceled, leaving the Belgians without a national champion bodybuilder, and leaving the streets of Brussels stained with the bronzer-y footprints of rapidly fleeing weightlifters in their show-skivvies.

To be fair, if you've seen their cows, this should surprise no one. They did at least take the honest approach and just declared a full-on scramble for the exits. If Rafael Palmeiro had done the same thing in front of Congress when asked if he'd ever taken steroids, it would have been both substantially funnier and better than finger-wagging lying under oath. (Also, he would have earned bonus points for doing a Chapelle-style tip of the water pitcher on the way out just to double the chaos points awarded.)

I have a visual of those bodybuilders scampering out of there like cockroaches when the lights got turned on.

Too funny.   Like Michael Phelps and a bong!

They all drug test for less than 5% of the dope used.

Not even exogenous testsoterone gets looked at. 

hGH, insulin, EPO, cortiocids are all permitted.

bodybuilding is the toughest sport to succeed in. Time in the gym, eating right at the right times, abstaining from water a day before the contest, and delpleting carbs before a contest. You idiots have no idea what they go through to get contest ready. Drugs have to do with some of it, but not all of it. Don’t criticize bodybuilders because
1: They sacrifice much more than you lazy ass sobs.
2: They are probably in much better shape than you idiots zoik and USC???.
3: The IFBB is non tested, so you can take whatever the hell you want. Maybe baseball should legalize roids. Nothing like a non contact, leisure like sport like baseball.
