Dorian Yates, the legendary six-time Mr. Olympia, has always been one of the most outspoken figures in bodybuilding. Having dominated the sport from 1992 to 1997, Yates not only solidified his legacy in the fitness world but also became a thought leader on topics that push the boundaries of what’s acceptable in sports. Recently, in an interview with the Daily Express, Yates made bold claims about the role of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) in sports and shared his thoughts on how mainstream sports could benefit from a more transparent approach—one that mirrors the honesty often found in professional bodybuilding.
Yates, who remains a popular figure in the bodybuilding community, discussed how anabolic steroids and other PEDs have become an essential component of success in professional bodybuilding. According to him, it is time for mainstream sports to adopt a similar mindset, particularly regarding the use of steroids.
Honesty in Bodybuilding: A Stark Contrast to Other Sports
In bodybuilding, steroids are widely acknowledged as an integral part of the sport. Unlike many mainstream sports, where athletes often deny or hide their use of PEDs, bodybuilders are more open and transparent about the role steroids play in achieving peak physical performance.
Yates explained, "Steroids are used, they are an integral part of professional bodybuilding." While steroids are an accepted part of the sport, athletes in other competitive arenas tend to hide or deny their use due to the stigma around drugs. Yates argues that this dishonesty could be eliminated if drug testing in professional sports was abolished, creating a more honest environment where athletes wouldn’t be punished for doing what it takes to win.
A More Honest Approach: Abolishing Drug Testing in Mainstream Sports
The biggest point Yates made in the interview is his belief that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the prevalence of drug testing in mainstream sports create a false sense of fairness. Yates believes that testing isn’t a deterrent but rather an unfair advantage for athletes with the financial resources to outsmart the system.
"Does anyone seriously think there are no drugs in Olympic sports just because they do some kind of testing?" Yates asked. "They are highly competitive sports with highly competitive people and, just like competitive business, people do whatever they can to get ahead."
By eliminating drug testing and embracing a more transparent approach, Yates argues that sports could move away from hypocrisy and create a level playing field for all athletes, regardless of their financial backing or access to advanced medical support.
