Arnold Schwarzenegger says he's not sorry for pumping up with steroids during his heyday as a champion bodybuilder. "I have no regrets about it, because at that time, it was something new that came on the market, and we went to the doctor and did it under doctors' supervision," the action hero turned Governator told ABC's George Stephanopoulos.

LOL. Reminds me of that old SNL skit, "The Cop with 'Roids".

Take drugs, shave chest and star in a bunch of fantasy movies and put a R in front of your name and you can be elected governor of Mexifornia.

Arnold does not need to apoligize for using steroids.

They were legal.

Perhaps if we knew more about your life story, someone here could dismiss your achievements so succinctly.

Just think how much easier he could have been elected if he had sucked up to the Democrats, waited for a normal election, and run as a Democrat. Movie star husband of a Kennedy family-member and news star.

He worked as hard or harder than anyone else in the industry.

I would have to agree. Whether in a steroid or non-steroid environment, I would have bet money that he would have been #1 at the end of the day.
