Yup was many years ago...........1988 in Germany I think.
He took the wrong dose, he thought it was much lower than it actually was.

The guys today use much more dangerous compounds, whereas back in the 70s and 80s and even early 90s, the drugs were not as dangerous.....now you have IGF1 and insulin......and who knows what else.....back in Arnold's day it was the basics.....dbol, propionate, anadrol, etc........today they are playing russian roulette.
