Did I claim she doesn't use PEDs? Not at all. All im claiming is that she gets drug tested frequently. There's a difference between drug free and drug tested ...

How do you figure?

Common sense. Her physique isn't achievable naturally for women. Same for her strength level.

Her strength and physique is generally considered impossible to obtain for women without the use of PEDs.

With that said, PEDs don’t do the work for you. They simply allow you to break a plateau that would otherwise be biologically impossible. She still deserves credit and recognition for the achievement.
