I’m not saying it’s good or bad. What I am saying is that bodybuilding is a sport that is ever-changing, and the athletes of the sport have chosen to take it where it is today.

We may never see the likes of Arnold, Frank Zane, and Samir Bannout again.

But, as in everything in life, change happens, for better or worse.

BTW, I’ve just finished re-reading Education of a Body Builder that Schwarzenegger wrote 30 years ago. Plenty of interesting stuff not only on his determination, but on his training methods and his inventive ways of tweaking particular exercises to hit the right parts of each muscle.

And yes, cycling is making a mockery of itself.

There will always be “performance-enhancements,” some legal, some not. There will always be one guy who wants to win more than the rest.

Arnold apparently replied something like “Of course I took them. So did …” and he named the other bodybuilders who had bagged him as fellow steroid users. It seems none of the guys he named stood up against this.

It is so easy to sit back and bag someone who has made it and look for excuses why he had it so easy in life. Well, the bloke came out of nowhere, took on the world and won. And kept winning.

The man is a phenomenon. He has made it to the very top because he had the determination to go further than anyone else.

BTW Do you really believe that the era of the performance enhancing drug is over? Been watching any cycling lately?

“I think there’s no doubt he used steroids. I’m pretty sure I recall him saying that he did. I think 99 percent of professional bodybuilders on the IFBB circuit did then and do today.”

Can you find the quote or did you read this in an interview – I am pretty surprised and I am not surprised if you follow me – mind here in the UK at my local gym I find many people back chatting and saying this guy has this, this guy does this, he goes to this bar/club and does this. My point? You guessed it – people are like the media and are notorious in accusations and portraying this in altered bizarre reality’s.

I do agree however that he did take some enhancements beyond any modern day supplement and diet and training aside, some illegal enhancement may have been taken by him, like you say all sports, boxing included has its bad eggs – solution? Permanently ban for good. Just look at Australia on Shayne Warne..
