Is there a way to tell if other Figure Competitors are juicing?

I am a Figure competitor, and am committed to doing it 100% natural. I have competed in 2 OCB shows this year and placed 1st in both of them. Then I competed in an NPC show, and placed 3rd.

Not too bad, but the two girls who beat me were SHREDDED in their legs and glutes. I am trying to figure out how they did this. For all 3 of my shows I was at around 8% body fat. I cut at 1300 calories with proper macro percentages. I lift heavy and do regular cardio. Is there something else I can do?

I have also spent a lot of time looking at pictures of OCB figure winners around the country from the past 5-10 years, and very rarely do I see 1st place winners that were as shredded as the two NPC figure girls that beat me...

Is it possible they are juicing? Is there a way to tell?

I don't mind losing to juicing girls (it's not right, but it's part of the game ... ) but if I can look like them by doing it naturally, then I want to do it.

Any help?
