'American Gladiators' Star Nitro -- Hospitalized for Heart Attack ... Blames Steroid

[csuperman]

Dan Clark says he experienced intense chest pains while working out at an L.A. gym that night ... and then his left arm went numb.

Nitro asked a buddy to drive him to a nearby urgent care center ... where they quickly realized he was having a heart attack and put him in an ambulance for a nearby hospital.

Once Nitro arrived to the hospital, he was rushed into emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in one of his arteries. During the procedure, doctors fitted Nitro with a brand new stent.

Nitro says the whole thing was a shock 'cause he's in peak physical condition ... and believes the heart attack may have been a result of the YEARS of steroid abuse from his days as a Gladiator.

According to Nitro, 'roids weren't viewed as taboo back in the AG heyday ... it was just part of the culture.

Clark says he's confident he'll make a full recovery and says the worst part about the whole ordeal ... he can't workout for a month.

Very douchy of him to say that steroids caused the heart attack, but I don't think it's too far fetched of him to wonder if "years of steroid" abuse may have played a role.

And just to clarify, I think steroids can be used without any health issues in MOST (not all) men if used responsibly. And "responsibly" is on the very low end of the dosage and duration and involves maintaining overall health in other aspects.

There's use and abuse with everything

AG was way back in the day. I have not seen a recent pic of him.

More circumstantial evidence...like if a bank alarm goes off, so anyone who happens to be running down the street at that time is guilty.
