True. He should of known better...it's interesting though, because even Greg Kovacs lived to almost 45. We seldom hear of cases of bodybuilding deaths quite this young. Was Dallas really abusing gear that much more than everyone else?
Look at his autopsy, his testosterone level alone was 55,000ng/dl. Normal natty male testosterone levels are around ~300-1100 ng/dL for comparison.
I don't think levels that high have ever been recorded, but we don't see every pro's levels posted online, maybe they're all that high? Crazy either way.
"By Wesley Inman Friends: Re Dallas- "I spoke to Chief Director of Toxicology at Axis, George Behonick. What he told me is that the reference lab they use "DOES" report ranges using ng/mL. We know that standard ranges of 2.4 to 12 ngs/mL is the same thing as 270-1100ngs per Deciliter. I am told each lab chooses it's own "reference" ranges and "reporting" but this in no way changes the standard norms.
So unless the reference lab made an error in it's report, the fact is Dallas "DID" have a 55,000 nanogram level per standard reference range...aka Nanograms per DeciLiter. Since these documents are considered FORENSIC EVIDENCE that can hold up in a Court of Law..we have no choice but to assume Dallas was at a staggering 55K total level and a whopping 130 T to E Ratio.
Mind blowing for sure.
George Behonick quote: "We do not perform testosterone/epitestosterone or anabolic steroids testing in house; however, the reference laboratory we use reports testosterone and epitestosterone as nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL). Creatinine in urine drug testing is reported as milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL, or mg/100 mL). The testosterone to epitestosterone ratio is dimensionless (that is, units are not reported since they cancel out when the ratio is calculated T ng per mL / EpiT ng per mL."
