TV Strong-Man Wants To Help Baseball Players Kick Steroids

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – A champion bodybuilder hopes to give a lift to baseball players worried about abusing steroids. 69-year-old body builder Peter Lupus says he built his body through exercise and nutrition and he’ll put his record up against anyone using steroids. Lupus – best known for his role on the 1960s TV series, Mission: Impossible – says athletes considering using steroids to build strength would be better off “...becoming strong mentally and forcing yourself to work out harder.” Although Lupus admits if steroids had been around when he was competing he might have been tempted to use them, he thinks that sugar pills work just as well – but without health risks. Lupus should know. He turns 70 on June 17 and plans to celebrate the event by lifting 76,000 pounds in 30 minutes. If successful, he will break the current world record of 75,480 pounds, which he set on his 65th birthday.
