Google the history of steroids and its amazing how many steriod and testosterone things were available in the 1940's.
I think dianabol was registered by the fda or whatever for official sale as a medicin around 1958 but they had been makin shitloads of bodybuilding drugs for at least 10 years before that.  I read that Reg Park was sent to the USA by his dad for 6 months when he was maybe 21 and came home 30lbs heavier.

The reason why anabolic steroids were invented in 1959 was because the Soviets Olympic lifters were injecting the only androgen steroid available; a straight testosterone derivative. The side effect  of using high doses was prostate enlargement. Some of the Soviets had to be catheterized so they could urinate it got so bad. Dr.Ziegler who was the physician of the US weightlifting team convinced Ciba chemists to come up with a testosterone that had more anabolic properties and less androgenic properties. They came up with the first anabolic steroid Dianabol. The success of this drug led to a lot of other anabolic steroids being developed. Dianabol was first introduced to athletes through the York Olympic lifting team that had all the best Americans weightlifters. A few years later it spread to bodybuilders.

Dr. Ziegler on his death bed recorded this statement,  "I wish I had never heard the word steroid... All these young kids... they don't realize the terrible price they are going to pay."

To bad kids on this board who are fans and users of steroids have such strong rationalization concerning their own use. They will cycle on and off for years until they have problems.  

yeah... still doesnt prove that he used steroids

just because he had the option to use them doesnt mean he did

So Ziegler was lying? In fact, Grimek got other lifters to do steroids too.

LOL

What you say here is as silly as the "nice everyday physique" comment of yours.

No, what I am saying you can build a physique like his without steroids.

I don't know if he done them or not.

I find the people who always shout loudest about drugs are those often dealt a less than favourable genetic hand.

Vince was a drunk and Armand was insanely jealous of Grimek.

  I am not going to argue that. I am telling you because you thought that I only read it. A lot of history from Vince and Armand did I learn. Not sure if all of it was true... but then again... are we ever really sure about every thing?

Yeah Vince. A guy who says bench presses don't build pecs and back squats don't work. What a crackpot.

Gironda was crazier than a shithouse rat. All these people that put him on a pedestal have no idea.

Anyone that thinks you have to be on the sauce to look like Grimek should probably give up lifting and take up golf. John had good genetics and a great build but hardly had a build that requires juice to get that big. Way to many tiny tits here

  He was murdered.
They think the guy he scapegoated in the Marines did it but they can't pin it on him.  It is speculated he saw him on the tv news in a story about the lawsuit and realized he was not very far away.  He then went and stalked him.
