Yeah, no way was he natural. He certainly hadn't gone as crazy with everything as he would circa 2000-2001 onward, but yeah, he was familiar with his fair share of Equipoise, test prop, Anadrol, etc. Brian Dobson was a pretty good teacher :) Speaking of Ronnie, if Levrone had shown up looking like this *points above* in 2002, K-Lo should have won hands-down. Of course, that was Ronnie beating Ronnie. In their primes, much as I like Levrone's physique and would actually prefer to look like him, a prime Ronnie was just too much.
