Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Yeah, the females are using crazy amounts of drugs too. Atleast since '85 there hasn't been a non-juiced competitior. The female body just cannot possibly become like Chizevsky, Chepiga, Gates or Lewis without a bunch of male hormones. Even if they could gain the muscle, there's no way they could get ripped enough without T3, clen and whatnot. Women's bodies are predisposed to higher levels of bodyfat. I would bet that female pros haven't used a tampon in ten years.

OK, I agree that muscle gains in most women are a different story than for men, but about getting ripped, I think wilson6 and his client would disagree with you there. Check this out:

Read the thread, too - she's apparently at about 6% bf here, and she competed in Nationals recently at lower than that, also without "ripping aids".
I also think that, just like men, some women are naturally more predisposed to be able to put on muscle more easily than most women and even some men, so we can't necessarily make a blanket statement that "the female body just cannot possibly" gain a large amount of muscle. Some women just naturally have higher levels of testosterone than normal.
Hell, I even met a woman once who had a beard. She wasn't a BB'er, or anything like that - just naturally grew a beard, and didn't see any reason why she should have to shave it. I'm sure if she HAD lifted a few weights, she would have grown pretty damn fast!
Of course, this doesn't go to say that I believe the Ms Olympia competitors are clean, just that they may not all be taking as huge amounts of drugs as some people think ... (?)
