steroid and bb: real causes of illness and even death??
« on: September 27, 2006, 06:12:03 AM »
Hey everyone! just curious as to everyone's opinion especially you experts out there. we all hear all the time about pro and amateur bb illnesses, reason they had to retire (prince, d.long,etc.) and even deaths (youngblood,scott klein, etc.) all supposedly related to steroids. the question i have is what is the "reason" behind this. 1) is it because massive amounts of steroids and they never cycled off for years? 2) is it because not just only the amount but using so many different steroids for a long period of time? 3) or is it also a combination of genetic disposition to heart failure, kidney problems, etc. that some of these bb would have developed anyway even if they didnt' do juice, only it would have happened when they were old? 4) how can a cutler for instance not have any illness or problems ( not yet anyway) while some other pro bb or top amateur does? maybe cutler and others are smarter than most and get regular check-ups and no when do stop and when to cycle, etcetera.

thanks in advance for the replies!
