Bodybuilding is an untested “sport”. There are federations that test and that is called natural bodybuilding and the physiques are noticeably smaller. Everyone Arnold competed against and train with used steroids so the playing field was fair. I put sport in quotes above as it really isn’t a sport in my view, even though if asked what sport I do I would say body building (I don’t take steroids and don’t compete so it’s a hobby for me). It’s halfway between sport and art with a sprinkle of something else I can’t articulate.

All that is to say that the comparison to Lance isn’t valid in my view. The equivalent would be saying that Lance Armstrong cheated because he used a fancier bike than everyone else and didn’t win on a cheap Walmart bike. (I’d replace Lance here with another cyclist but I can’t think of any who don’t have steroid doubts on them so let’s just stick with him).
