Not sure why you're getting down voted, you're definitely right. Bodybuilders are often taking steroids, and the more serious ones are taking HGH and insulin (not illegal, but not a standard supplement either). From the article linked below "we estimated that among Americans currently age 13 to 50 years, 2.9–4.0 million have used AAS (anabolic androgenic steriods)." They are secretive about it with most not wanting to bust that "I'm natural" myth about them. Instagram guys are notorious for that. Watch a YouTube video by Seth Feroce, a body builder who is very open about his steroid use, and you'll see just how many illegal drugs these guys use.

- metiscus 6y agoApparently insulin has Anabolic properties although it is not a steroid and does have some rather serious side-effects.
- globular-toast 6y agoA lot of people don't want it to be true and this is a standard reaction to that. The truth is performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in general are a dirty little secret that are used widely in some of the top echelons of society. Top sportsmen, movie stars, bodybuilders, models, you name it, they're all on PEDs to some extent.
