    Interesting piece in today's Observer newspaper by a Canadian novelist who embarked upona steroid programme as research for his novel – it's lengthy but fascinating:

    Fascinating article. I notice that Roid Rage is never mentioned. Would be very interesting if a long time, and famous Roider, who just happens to be the governor of my home state of California, would do a detailed account of his experience with the juice.

    Admit imperfection?  I don't think he's capable of that.

    Is it perhaps because he can't tell the difference between Ahnold the BBer, The Terminator, and Ahnold the man/politician? ;D

    As far as I've heard, Arnold has admitted taking steroids – during the period in which they we legal. When they were illegal he stopped taking them. Considering their illegality, one can only expect so much honesty.

    The article was very interesting, though!

    Er Fett – Ahnold spent years in La-La Land, and is now a politician.  Not exactly the best background to expect honesty to come from.

    The question is; did Arnold take steroids?

    Arnold (kinda) said, "When steroids were legal, yes I did."

    My point is that no matter who you're asking, when you're asking if they did something that is illegal but always wasn't so, this sounds like an appropriately honest answer.

    Absolutely, but what I'm saying is that I take his words with a pich of salt.
