Tell that to Mike Matarazzo. I remember him saying that he thought the lifting and cardio would offset whatever negative effects the juice would have on him.

I would say that heavy lifting actually puts more stress on the body.

also them eating food enough to feed a family to 10 in poor african and asian nations. Its pretty much a fact that if there were no sportsmen/bodybuilders eating tons of food, there would be close to no hunger on this planet. Just imagine the burden these steroid shooting gym puppies are going to put on Obamacare if it is passed at all. We would be staring at another recession caused by steroids.

x1000. Ronnie said, " Even if i hurt myself from all the heavy lifting, the cheque is still gonna keep coming in. Thats why i like the police"

It definitely does. You gotta stuff in all those vitamin pills which otherwise would have been impossible to eat in the dosages required.

Bullshit, bodybuilders are a tiny minority, there's easily enough food in the world to go round everyone.

I'm sick of waiting in line at the supermarket checkout because there's some morbidly obese housewife in front of me buying fifteen loaves, chocolate bars, chips, gallons of milk etc, which I guarantee you most of which will be wasted on her spoilt equally obese brats.

To become a product/company spokesperson aka (receive a sponsorship) simply garners a regular pay check for a certain amount of contracted time.  The receiving party is not considered a full time employee with benefits to the company it promotes.

So the answer is that the athlete is fully responsible for himself and his family's medical insurance. No small expense in the USA.   But wait we now have Obama care so everybody is covered - no problem.

Because they don't live long enough to have cancer?
