That’s like asking, “If cigarettes are bad for you, why do some people smoke and live long still?”
It’s a number game and you are rolling the dice. That’s why they call this stuff “risk factors”, not “risk conclusions”.
Arnold began taking roids, allegedly, when he was only 15 or 16 years old. And he did pay a heavy price for it.

He nearly died and had heart surgery in middle age. Per a recent interview, he said that it was after that surgery in particular, that he felt like damaged goods. He isn’t allowed to do extreme lifting anymore and does lower weights at higher reps. This was also around the time that he decided to run for governor as he needed a new path.
For every Arnold that has lived to 76 (his current age), there are many more bodybuilders who have paid tremendous costs to their health.
And also, taking roids to lift extreme weights often takes your body past it’s natural limits. Your joints aren’t meant to be bench pressing 600 lbs and squatting boulders. This also results in you packing on muscle and carrying around too much weight, which is bad for your heart.
Stay natural and healthy. Live a good life. Most people taking roids are doing it for recreational reasons. At least Arnold was getting a paycheck for it.
