My mate was a strongman, used to be in Britain's Strongest Man events. He was always introduced at events as 'The Natural' as code that he was the only one not doping. He never had a chance against the juiced guys and they thought he was an oddball wanting to do it without drugs.
He's now quite high up in the world of arm-wrestling, which is not much different. The guys who've come over here from countries like Ukraine and Georgia are trying to adapt to a country where they don't have the state subsidising a £30k pa doping regime for them.
