An unfortunate reality of professional (non-tested) bodybuilding.
There are clean bodybuilding competitions out there so dont let it put you off the sport completely.
As for short guys, Lee Priest was just mindblowing at his best shape, but the little guys struggle a bit to get the points for some reason.
Anyone want to shed some light on why this might be? Is it because judges assume that the taller competitors have a tougher time to gain proportion? Favouritism perhaps?0 -

I think a large part of it has to do with marketability.
The average height of males worldwide tends to range between 5ft9-5ft11.
Joe Weider wants everyone buying his mags and supplements to believe that they too can look like their bodybuilding idols. To achieve this, he needs to promote people who look like the "after" version of you, i.e. the you with 50-100 pounds of muscle added to your frame
If all Mr Olympia winners were the height of Franco Columbo (5ft5), then people would perhaps begin to think that you need to be short in order to be that size.
Can you imagine Arnold winning 7 Mr Olympias and achieving all his success, even outside of bodybuilding (movies, politics) if he was 5ft2 and not 6ft2? As unfair and unreasonable as it is, I can't.
Obviously Joe is always quick to link their physiques to them all following his magical "Weider Principles" (and never their amazing genetics and steroid use), but hey he has products to sell and he's made millions from all of it over the years.0 -
