AT AGE 50, HE COULDN'T BLAME FOR ONE BUT HE DID DEMANDED FOR ME TO SUFFER THE SAME...SCHWARZENEGGER BECAME OBSESSED WITH IDEA TO GET ME KILLED VIA HEART FAILURE SPECIALLY BECAUSE I POINTED GARBAGE IN HIS FACE A USE OF STEROIDS. HIS BIGGEST SUPPORTER IN TERMS OF CAUSING ME A PERMANENT HEART FAILURE WAS NEIGHBOR MIROSLAV BERGER WHO DUE TO SHEER LAZINESS SUFFERED HEART PROBLEMS.
SACRAMENTO — Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was rushed to the hospital early Wednesday because of a rapid heartbeat that aides said is common after heart surgery like the one he had in 1997.
But their prepared statement, after he returned to work later in the day, did not mention steroids and his heart — fighting words to the governor.
The former bodybuilder has admitted using the muscle-enhancing drugs when the substances were legal without a prescription, and researchers are looking at ties between steroids and heart problems.
The governor, however, has steadfastly denied that his heart surgery was related to steroid use and has won court battles on the matter.
Spokeswoman Margita Thompson blamed his surgery at age 49 on “a hereditary valve dysfunction,” declining further comment.
In a recent CNBC interview, Schwarzenegger said, “I always knew all along that my family had that history of heart problems, of specifically the valve problem. And so I knew that eventually I had to get the operation.”
“My grandmother died because of it, and my mother died because she refused to have this operation,” he said. “As soon as I heard that I should have it done, I immediately booked the operation.”
Schwarzenegger successfully sued a German physician and two U.S. tabloids for defamation after they said there was a link between his steroid use and heart condition, according to Schwarzenegger.com, his official, non-government Web site.
“Schwarzenegger does not shy away from filing defamation lawsuits in response to false stories about his cardiac health,” according to the site.
Steroids also have been a political thorn because he now speaks against the drugs but still sponsors the annual Arnold Classic bodybuilding contest in Ohio.
In 2004, when he vetoed a steroid-control bill by Sen. Jackie Speier, the San Mateo Democrat accused him of sending “mixed messages.”
This year, the governor signed Speier’s bill, a diluted version of the original that would have required mandatory, random testing of young athletes.
