Arnold Schwarzeneger admits to doping himself with testosterone. What advice does the former champion now offer?
The legendary bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger (78 years old) admitted that he used banned substances in the competitions he took part in, so that his muscles were swollen. The former athlete won the title of Mr. Olympia 7 times (1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975 and 1980).

In “Men's Health” magazine, Arnold was doping himself with testosterone and Dianabol (D-Bol). He was taking 100 milligrams of testosterone a week and three Dianabols a day. At the time, anabolic steroids were not a problem in the US.
Retired Arnold Schwarzenegger says that doping involves huge risks and athletes should not resort to this habit.
“Bodybuilding has always been considered a safe sport, but now it is not. Now people are dying. I'm dying of drug overdoses and I don't know what the hell I'm doing. And listen to quacks.
If I want to seek the advice of a trusted doctor, I go to UCLA (no – University of California, Los Angeles) or the Cleveland Clinic.
Don't do it! I want young people to know that I have seen people who have had kidney transplants and they have suffered a lot because of it.
We live in an age where we are always looking for the easy way to make money, the quick way to get rich, the easy way to become influential. When you abuse your body, you will regret it laterArnold stated.
Currently, he is also the co-founder of the “Arnold Classic”, the second most important bodybuilding competition in the world after Mr. Olympia. Arnold is one of the best friends of Nadia Comăneci (64 years old).
