As much as i like Yates, he was the highest profile early exponent of the big gut.

I have to agree with MrDiamondCalves on this one, but that does not change what a great bodybuilder Dorian was in his prime. Dorian did what he had to do to win.

97 (top) versus 96 (bottom)...I think he used just a little bit more GH/SLIN in the latter year..

I blame Neville Chamberlain for appeasing all the mass monsters and not taking a stand for the aesthetic physiques!

If that was the case, then I'd think the guys from the 60's and 70's would sport the bloated look too, as they were known for eating huge amounts of red meat and even drinking a lot of whole fat milk.

Usher it in?LMAO?
Like they really knew the end results would be that obvious and ugly to look at?
Nothing was ushered in. The better question..."What dumb-ass decided to reward them for it".
Dorian did pretty damn good for himself in terms of wins...
But looked like shit in the majority of them.

The only year that dorian truly had a gut that potruded out was in '97. Before that dorian had a very tight midsection as I feel that his abs and thigh shots are very good. And contrary to what others on this thread are saying the man did not look like shit, if he did then how the hell did he win 6 olympias in a row against the best of the best from that era.
