If Synthol is used correctly then you won't be able to spot it.

Just like Johnny said, if it's used properly, you are not able to spot it.

I think that most of them have used it, or other similar products.

the most popular example is Flex I guess..

I would say Ruhl too but what JB stated is true therefore I guess almost everyone had a bit somewhere..

I think he said it was in his biceps. He only did it once and never wanted to do it again because it hurt too much.

He said all that stuff? I don't get why! If he didn't get caught, why to tell it?

Get caught? it's not illegal. He said it in a MD interview some years ago and he was just being honest about something that is used widely in the sport.

Lee Priest was the one who said that in a column in Muscular Development.

Fail without pics :(... i used to think markus took synthol but now i dont think so because he has looked the same and he has had freaky shaped muscles since he started bodybuilding a long time ago.
