“We were experimenting&#8230;” &#8211; Back When Arnold Schwarzenegger Made a Shocking Remark About Steroid Drug Usage

From Austrian meathead to Hollywood legend, Arnold Schwarzenegger was once the
highest-paid actor in show business. With his 21-inch biceps, the legendary
bodybuilder entered this glamorous world starring in Conan the Barbarian. The
Commando star left such a huge impression on viewers that even now he is still
one of the all-time top American success stories. Walking through some amazing
highs and some lows, he never stopped being himself. Nor did he shy away from
taking responsibility for his actions, even though they stirred huge
controversies. Remember when he gave a bold statement about his steroid usage in
public?

Back in 2006, Arnold Schwarzenegger sat down with ABC News to talk about the
word spreading that he has used performance-enhancing drugs. During the
conversation, the actor made a shocking remark that he does not regret using
steroids. The Terminator alum said that he took it because at that time it was a
new hype in the market.

Moreover, he didn’t just start using it but did everything under the supervision
of a doctor. According to him, he was an athlete, and he knew what he was doing.
“We were experimenting with it. It was a new thing. So you can’t roll the clock
back and say, ‘Now I would change my mind on this’,” he told ABC News

However, the seven-time Mr. Olympia winner still does not recommend people to
use it. He stated there are food supplements one can use to gain nutrition and
vitamins and it does not have any side effects.


WHY ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER REJECTED A BILL THAT TEACHES ABOUT THE RISKS OF
STEROIDS? 

In the same interview, the former governor of California was asked about why he
turned down a bill that would inform students about the harms of using steroids
and illegal substances. In his response, Arnold Schwarzenegger remarked that the
bill actually mixed food supplements with prohibited drugs.



He found the bill completely absurd that would have disallowed students from
taking normal supplements. As these nutrients are created, protein products like
milk, soybean, and fish, will only improve one’s health. Meanwhile, if you want
to get sculpted muscles in 8 weeks,
