There’s no reason to do steroids. You’re only hurting your body and hurting yourself.” He then said that professional bodybuilders have no such choice, since they cannot win at that level without using the drugs. He said, “I was competing on stage and I was getting to the point where I was going to keep getting blown off the stage if I didn’t do them. So I took that step and that’s the road I chose, and here I am.”
