So you can't get this body through diet, exercise — and supplements?
Christian Boeving is, in our mind, the real life Brooke Wyndham, the fictional exercise queen from Legally Blonde, whose alibi for the murder of her husband is a liposuction procedure she needs to keep quiet or risk losing her entire empire.
But in this case, Boeving is a real person, and a real fitness model, and he was, until recently, the spokesman for Iovate Health Sciences' dietary supplements, including Hydroxycut.
That was until he admitted, on camera, that he took steroids. The camera he acknowledged this tidbit to was filming for the documentary Bigger, Stronger, Faster, which was screened at Sundace in January.

Even a subsidy of GE has more respect for purity of its game than Major League Baseball.

"Why did Marion Jones and Barry Bonds think they were taking flaxseed oil?" Slate asks, in response to Jones/Bonds claims they they never knowingly took steroids and actually believed they were taking flaxseed oil supplements instead. One theory: "Because they don't like fish [and] flaxseed oil contains omega 3 fatty acids, which help maintain cardiovascular health."
Another theory? Because they're lying. [Slate]
