BRUSSELS (AP) - The Belgian bodybuilding championship has been canceled after doping officials showed up and all the competitors fled.
A doping official says bodybuilders just grabbed their gear and ran off when he came into the room.
"I have never seen anything like it and hope never to see anything like it again," doping official Hans Cooman (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=Hans+Cooman&sid=breitbart.com) said Monday. Twenty bodybuilders were entered in the weekend competition.
Cooman says the sport has a history of doping "and this incident didn't do its reputation any good."
I'd bet this was a hilarious sight; all these puffed up he-men running for the door and out the building when some probably geeky skinny guys shows up with a dope testing kit, lol.
I'd love to have seen that one.

I don't like the whole "anti-doping" thing.
If we are really a performance based society, it shouldn't matter how results are achieved barring violating the rights of others.

Well that is far from surprizing at all.

OF course it should matter. Since the markete is gearded toward rewarding competition, and we dont want everyone to have to use harmful drugs to stay competitive, we therefore should keep these drugs banned in competitive events.
Any driveling idiot should be able to grasp such a simplistic notion.

We want to see records broken as a society. More home runs, faster miles, longer jumps, bigger hits, heavier lifts, etc.
If you want to be competitive, make the damn commitment and have at those harmful drugs.
There sure as hell isn't any sort of equivalent to pansy "anti-doping" in the business world.

Interesting choice of words under the circumstances. :))

Using performance enhancing drugs often results in severely shortened life-spans and/or severe disease onsets later in life.
If you'd like to pay for their treatment and care, by all means... :)

It's the price one pays for being an athlete of the highest performance.
If one cannot pay the dues of negative health effects, they should find another calling in life.

Probably pretty easy to cup a pair of shriveled up raisins, huh? :lol:

While that may be true, I was referencing the fact that "gear" is the slang term for steroids. :mrgreen:

The most striking thing about this story...
They have bodybuilders in Belgium?

But in the world of body building steriods are the norm. So how is using performance enhancing drugs hurting the competition?

The problem is that it becomes a contest of who's willing to do the most doping and brings unneeded risk to the contestants.
When athletes wind up keeling over dead of drug overdoses it's pretty bad for the sport. It tends to get things shut down.

The problem with the whole steroid hysteria is that it's not steroids that are killing people, it's the diuretics. Steroids do NOT cause illnesses. Yes, they accelerate those illnesses that someone is already predisposed to, but they are NOT the cause.

I think steroid testing in sports is rather stupid. My sister got kicked of her college softball team after a steroids test. Was she taking them to enhance her performance? No. They were for her asthma. Doesn't make a difference on the test though.

It seems pretty dangerous to me with heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, liver cancer and jaundice.
That's not even mentioning the risks that come with IV drug use (AIDS, Hepatitis, infection) which bring their own illnesses.
Most professional leagues ban the use of steroids and getting caught using them can end a professional athletic career, not to mention bringing jail time and fines (up to a year and $1,000 fine for possession, and five years and $250,000 fine for trafficking).
It's definitely not worth it.
