HOLLYWOOD - California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has downplayed his own past use of steroids as he prepares to ban the muscle-building accelerant in the state.The Terminator star admits he was legally prescribed experimental steroids during his early years by doctors, but has urged America's youth to shun the drugs and stick to natural food proteins as part of their bodybuilding program.
Arnie has previously vetoed a bill that called on high school coaches to teach student athletes the dangers of steroids, because performance enhancing food supplements had been included in the proposed legislation
So the former movie hardman is working on a new law to ban steroids--but encourage the consumption of strengthening foods.
He says, "I have no regrets about (steroids), because at that time, it was something new that came on the market, and we went to the doctor and did it under doctor's supervision.
"We were experimenting with it, it was a new thing.
"But people should take food supplements. People should be able to take the vitamins and all of the nutritious stuff that is available, but stay away from drugs."
