Greg Doucette says no to steroids

During his latest Q and A session, a young 19-year-old asked the coach when he could start using PEDs. Having started exercising at 16, but begun weightlifting about a year ago, the youngster questioned how long he should train before he could start taking PEDs.

Coach Greg was very calm and succinct with his answer and said, “And to me, that is a loaded question.” He repeated the question and gave a firm verdict, “‘When am I eligible’ Well frankly, no one should be taking performance-enhancing drugs. Nobody should do, it but in reality, some people are.” Doucette then advised him not to use steroids and narrated, “And so if you are asking me when would I recommend it well I simply don’t I don’t ever recommend it.”

The IFBB pro coach also admitted the truth and said, “But I would be a hypocrite if I said that I didn’t use it myself.” Following on the same path, he further answered that since he also used PEDs, Doucette would give the young boy a recommendation. Doucette said that the best time to start performance-enhancing drugs was, “Once you reach your natural genetic limit.” He also advised the youngster that it was all about having fun and appreciating the progress that one was making in the gym. Finally, he said that it is all about the journey and not the destination. Doucette had reflected on his steroid usage previously as well.
