The latest episode of the Cutler Cast featured the seven-time Mr. Olympia. In conversation with four-time Mr. Olympia champion Jay Cutler, Heath revealed that he has never abused performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) during his reign in the sport and was always conservative about the use of drugs.
Heath on his PED use
Heath competed with several massive names, including Dexter Jackson, Coleman, and Jay Cutler. He won multiple Sandow trophies in a row, tying the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger at seven. Heath, during the podcast, mentioned that his conservative use of PEDs came after his competing and winning naturally.
Viewing a picture of him and Cutler together, Heath mentioned that people would repetitively nag him about his PED-use cycle.
Heath pointed out that his passion for basketball most likely helped him gain some serious mass in his legs.
Heath then drew a parallel between his defensive skills in basketball and his bodybuilding journey:
During his reign as Mr. Olympia, Heath was known for his fragile skin, giving his muscles a unique definition and an edge over the other athletes.
For the untrained eye, McGough was a legendary journalist in the sport. He provided bodybuilders with incredible insight and was a close friend of Heath’s.
Heath criticized the turn the sport has taken today about PED use. He said athletes sacrifice muscular definitions to build bigger physiques through drugs which are quite detrimental to skin texture.
Nicknamed ‘The Gift,’ Heath is a giant in the sport. He last competed in 2020, but in November last year, Heath promised a comeback in 2023. We cannot wait to see what the year holds for him.
