The steroid thing is interesting. It is of course unrealistic to expect Arnold to attain the level of muscle mass (and more importantly body fat percentage) without a significant amount of steroids. Nevertheless, it is clear that Arnold did not (and does not) use the dosages and variety of today's bodybuilders. Arnold looked great; modern bodybuilders look like freaks. Many of them will not even live to Arnold's current age.

Speaking of steroids: Arnold is on record as saying that he discontinued his steroid use before the 80's.

If you look at the Conan photos, you can see that this claim is patently false. If anything, he was using MORE steroids in the 80's. It is easy to see.

I wonder why he made this claim about his drug use ending in the 70's. It could come back to haunt him, although once he attained a level of wealth and fame, he was probably VERY discreet, and thus feels safe in his assertions.

The press has not raised the issue since they know little about steroid use and effects.
