I don't think it's great that boys are comparing themselves to these guys, buy I agree that you should be allowed to do whatever you want to your body.

Agree 100%

Its like eating disorders or extreme dieting and modelling. The difference with PEDs is the lies, they are actors not athletes. Would it be more or less helpful to young men wanting to look like that to know the truth. "This took tens of thousands of dollars in trainers, dieticians and pharmaceuticals and working out was basically my job for 6 whole months" at least putting it in a realistic frame of reference.
