IFBB Pro Greg Doucette recently went back on the comments he made about Gymshark athlete Hussein Farhat, this time praising his unique genetics. Having trained both naturally as well as on steroids, Doucette has decades of experience under his belt and has an x-ray vision when it comes to identifying as being natty or not.
A few days back, Doucette made a video on his YouTube channel where he called out Farhat for using steroids as part of his impressive fitness transformation. However, Greg has now gone back on his words.
Hussein Farhat, a current social media sensation, went viral after he posted his astounding physique transformation. Gaining a staggering 60 lbs in just 19 months, Farhat appeared to be a fake natty to Greg Doucette.
Demanding blood work from Farhat to prove that he is natural, Doucette made a long and elaborative video and called him out. However, Doucette no longer believes that Farhat is lying. After facing these accusations from Doucette, the teenager was more than happy to get himself tested and post his reports on the internet.
After analyzing the same, Doucette recently posted a video on YouTube stating:
"Based on the blood work, based on the evidence, This guy - One in a million genetics." (23:28)
"I never believed him, but the proof is in the pudding and we have analysed it. The pudding being the bloodwork. And so, what are you going to believe? We have to conclude, 100% natural." (23:35)
Why influencers should be transparent according to Greg Doucette
Even though Doucette was proven wrong, he did not hesitate to accept this and even made a video on the subject. Using his platform to raise awareness about the dangers of steroids, Doucette makes sure to call out whoever he believes is spreading unrealistic expectations by lying about their natty status.
In a YouTube short posted by Doucette earlier on his YouTube channel, he mentioned why he believes being honest about your steroid usage is important. Using Mike O'Hearn and Liver King's examples as being one of the biggest fake nattys, Doucette stated:
"It gives people a false sense of how good they actually can be. There are people in this world that actually believe that Mike O’Hearn is 100% natural. So yeah, I get it, people can be fooled. Remember the Liver King? There is no way that that’s natural."
Having used his share of steroids in an attempt to turn IFBB Pro, Greg Doucette is aware of the harms and side effects of using such drugs. Using his influence to spread awareness about this, Greg Doucette warns his audience against using such shortcuts.
