 before any one starts the "steroid" rant.. i have colitis too.. i got it at 21 years of age.. way, way before i ever tried any anabolics.. it is a aweful condition.. mine is very manageable.. his was not.. they had to remove his large intestine ect.. so he is still limited on foods, exertion ect... he came close to internally bleeding to death..  he is just lucky to be alive..

even in his prime days, he just had one of those faces that looks old, even if he was only late 20s/early 30s.

today he looks pale as a ghost, when we're used to seeing everyone with a protein under that spotlight.

He admitted on PBW that he doesn't follow the sport one bit and had no clue who Mr O was.  Chances are that means he doesn't workout much - if he was a pro and worked out at all, he'd likely grab a magazine once in a while, I'd assume?

How old is he? Doesn't look that horrible to me? Looks lean too, judging from the face.

Ya'll/We really need to spot making excuses for these guys.  Steroids, and all the hormones, lack or cardio or training after his pro career really made him look BAD..  I'm trying to not deny it anymore, he looks like shit, and most pro BB'ers do in retirement as well.  I believe it is from all the hormones.

He's only 43? I thought he was older than me?? Not by looking at the pic, but just by following him for so long.

Dude, he had COLITIS and a big portion of his large intestine taken out.

He is lucky just to not shit his pants on any given day.  :-\ 

Maybe the gear accelerated the disease, who knows but his career was cut short when they ripped his intestine out.
