I would only believe that picture was real if I saw Arnold in person and even if he DID look like that ... you gotta take in consideration that he juiced for DECADES, the elevated cholesterol levels that are associated with AAS clogged his coronary arteries and he had to get a CABG (coronary artery bypass grafting). Arnold is way past his prime and is still alive, whereas many bodybuilders during his reign died, injecting numerous compounds, in an effort to reach "Arnold-dom" ... his size, symmetry, and form are nothing that any current bodybuilder will achieve with the grace that Arnold has. Arnold also has more brains than most current BB's, he has expanded into politics, acting, etc. Not too many other bodybuilders can say they have done that, sh*t Coleman can't think of anything else to say to Cutler in the recent Olympia except "U a Crackhead" in his Tyson like voice. Talking about sportsmanship, did you ever hear Arnold ever truely diss a fellow competitor? If he did they were probably training together in preparation for the contest and bouncing cycle ideas off each other ... could you see any of them doing that nowadays, they probably have their own gym rats that spot them, dieticians and cooks that plan their 6-8 meals a day, and sports physicians that design their cycles and monitor their daily labwork ... all funded by their sponsors. Arnold, Franco, and numerous other bodybuilder were seen frequently in gyms together.
Arnold is an icon around the world, nobody can say anything BAD about him ... except the media that around the time of his surgery slandered his name by saying that it was ALL caused by illicit steroid usage. We all know it wasn't 100% caused by steroid usage, the 6000-8000 calorie diets we ALL eat will eventually cause the same problems he had.
Conseco is probably on ABC's or NBC's payroll, the little snitch! The media will do anything to trash the reputation of steroid users, I can't believe that anyone would believe that picture was real!!! Hail Arnold!
Sorry for the rant, saw the thread and went buck nuts!
