Alles see oli kui klassikaline kulturist Igor Gostjunin andis positiivse dopinguproovi ja nagu näha, siis mitte asjatult, nüüdseks on mees paisunud 120 kiloseks raskekaalu kulturistiks....ja astub ka sel aastal üles Arnold Classicul.

Kui suur nende ajavahe piltidel on? Korraliku hobusesööda peale läind peale positiivset proovi

See esimene pilt on tehtud klassikalise kulturismi 2010 aasta MM-ilt.(november 2010). Tookord andis 4 vene maailmameistrit positiivse tulemuse. Ainult minu kategooria maailmameister jäi puhtaks poisiks, sest teda loosiga ei saadetud. "Pavisloo!!!", nagu ta oma koondisekaaslastele meie kõrvalruumis rääkis.
