To maintain huge muscles one would have to take loads of protein, loads of supplements and even use steroids which is why I say it's harmful, kidneys and liver have to process huge amounts of protein and steroids will eventually cause cardiac hypertrophy and lowered heart ejection fraction.Too much muscle is as harmful as too much fat, ...

Do you know how much money sports generate? These doctors are doing right by keeping roids out from sports, they are just using the wrong methods.

There is actually nothing that supports that bodybuilders have a lower life expectancy, even if they have used. There's no studies, there is no supported evidence and I think that if one cleans up his act after a certain age, he can have a long lasting life as long as he doesn't get sick.

The amount and stacks the pro's take dont really relate to the average steroid cycle tho, just dont overdo it and cycle off as long as youre on at least.

I am not at all familar with euro soccers players but I will agree that the soccer players probably did not use steroids, but I don't see how you can say that with certainty. I would not be surprised at all if most of them used EPO, or some other red blood cell increasing chemical. Heart attack is the big downside of EPO use.We´ve had numerous soccerplayers dropping dead in my country on the field, the ages ranging from 19-25! Flex Wheelers kidneyproblems is genetic, so is the heartproblems of those who died on the soccerfield and the soccerplayers did not use steroids. My uncle had 2 heartattacks before age of 45! He has never touched roids nor anything. Mentzer was a maniac, he used more roids than anybody. I am not an advocate of heavy steroids abuse! Comeon. Did you even read that list? Depression, heroin, toothinfection (WTF), alzheimers, pnemounia, braincancer and a murdering wife - - is this really caused by steroids? I already said what I wanted to about enlarged hearts and HGH. Personally I don't find this list relevant.
People grow old, when they do they have heartissues, they get cancer, alzheimers. That's life!

I believe Depression, opiate addiction, and brain cancer (lyle Alzado) all coorelate strongly with Steroid abuse. No, I am not going to look up proof, just sharing what I understand to be the case. I think it is self evident from the list that Steroid abuse increases the chance of heart attack.

Arguably allowing steroids would be more honest and likely less dangerous to athletes than the current game of using largely untested research chemicals to evade doping tests... People who want to harm themselves will do so, either way.
Nobody cares about the athletes. The important thing is not to ruin the sport. So of course steroids should be banned.

The list does need context.
What percentage of body-builders is this? 1%, 0.001%
Is their rate of kidney and heart problems greater/lesser than the general population?
Do they live longer/shorter than the general population?
What proportion of them were genetically pre-disposed to heart of kidney problems? Something we will probably never be able to find out.
I am not saying that steroids at the level pro body-builders are using them are healthy, just that this list doesn't provide statistically relevant evidence (as presented).
Posted 21 February 2015 - 03:55 PM
I think the major problem with high intake of steroids is that they also cause changes in heart muscle, which somewhat increases chance of heart problems. Oral steroids also increase risk to liver, kidneys etc.
Of course, when it comes to professional bodybuilders, it's not just the steroids. These guys eat a massive amount of food - including animal fat and protein - and push themselves hard on daily basis, so it's not the healthiest lifestyle. Steroids do help to grow muscle, but as the competition is using them as well, it becomes a matter of both using a relatively high amount of steroids, and training as hard as you can to maximize the growth. While it's a 'beauty contest', the amount of daily training is the same as in any professional sport, and their careers can last for 20 years or more.
It's really the same case in all the professional sports, where the top athletes get paid millions. It urgest people to push themselves to the limit, and to take risks with their health.

If I could go back in time, those things never would have happened. I would have gone back to driving a truck. I have no doubt in my mind that the primary cause of my problem–the biggest thing–was the chemicals. It was the steroids, the growth hormones, the diuretics. We take Cytomel to lose fat, knowing it’s an incredibly powerful thyroid drug, and that’s only one of the many, many drugs out there taken by everyone, from amateurs to the highest level in the world.
Worst were the chemicals. I have so many memories of being alone in a hotel room the week, five days or two days before a contest, and doing unspeakable things to my body–steroids, growth hormones, diuretics–anything and everything that we as bodybuilders do to achieve a certain look. The greatest danger, though, is that, while dieting and training stay the same through the years, there’s a compulsion to experiment more wildly with chemicals
Put it away. Only a handful of men on this entire planet make barely a decent living at bodybuilding. I happened to be one who did for 15 years, but I probably took 20 years off my life.
Is this what we are talking about? Stacking, mixing drugs? Extreme doses? Thyroidhormones, diuretics etc?? There is a difference in between use and abuse!
Posted 17 July 2015 - 06:29 PM
Well Ronnie Coleman who's the best bodybuilder ever who also probably abused many different combinations of drugs is still alive at age 47 today. He's even making a comeback after a 3 year hiatus after having an injury.
OMFG!! Alive at the age of.....47???
He holds the sacred secret of longevity!!
Halleluja!

Manohar Aich, India's first Mr. Universe, lived to 104, and squatted over 600 lbs.
Bill Pearl is still alive at 90 and was a 5 time Mr. Universe winner.
Substance abuse during the golden age of bodybuilding wasn't as prevalent as it is now though. High protein is beneficial at old age, so I guess it makes sense that bodybuilders don't die at 50 or anything lol
