Athletistic/ Others. Russian bodybuilder Andrei Kozhokar spoke about the frequent use of drugs in bodybuilding.

“What you see on stage is simply impossible to achieve naturally. If we consider elite sports, then without pharmacology it is simply not possible. If you just want to train on your own- same, then taking medication is absolutely not necessary.

Comparing bodybuilding today to when Arnold Schwarzenegger was doing it, I would say it has become much safer now. However, everything evolves, including medicines which become different,” quotes Kozhokar in the Championship.

At the beginning of November 2023, Andrei Kozhokar took part in the Mr. Olympia competition in the USA. This tournament is considered the unofficial world championship for bodybuilders. Arnold Schwarzenegger, future star of world cinema and former governor of California, won the title of Mr. Olympia seven times.
