His publicist was once quoted as saying he ceased using them in the 1970s.

Horsesh*t.

At the end of his presentation, Schwarzenegger pledged never to stop promoting bodybuilding. "It is really fantastic," he said. "But the key thing is that we keep fighting drugs so that it is truly body building rather than body destroying."

The new threat to bodybuilding, the one that will finally knock it out once it becomes widely known, are the group of products generally known as "Synthol." These are oils injected into the muscle to inflate it just like the lip injections Hollywood actresses get. Most of the top bodybuilders use them to eliminate their weak spots. Once their use becomes known to the general public the freak show of competitive bodybuilding won't be able to even pretend to be a sport. The guy whose name is most associated with synthol abuse is a freak named Gregg Valentino, whom bodybuilders hate in large part because he inadvertently exposes this fraud. He does what they do but to an extreme level.
