I have average genetics and do not use steroids, but I admire Charles Glass as a trainer and have learned new things from his videos.
Does the fact that he trains top level bodybuilders who happen to use AAS somehow negate the fact that I have learned things from his videos?
How is the use of AAS in a virtually non-tested federation in which virtually every other athlete is using himself considered “cheating”? That seems more like trying to remain competitive. The lone basketball player playing barefoot is not answering to some higher ethical calling, hes just setting himself back.
Now, you could consider competitors who are using and still finding ways to compete in tested federations as cheating, but in the IFBB? Hell no.
