Damn suck to hear. :-\
-
Awful.
-
Genetic predisposition to kidney failure.
-
Not that uncommon as I believe he's in his 60s - I've had issues with mine.
-
Sorry to hear that.
Obviously one of the greats of the sport.
Good thing he got out when he did.
Was another decade before he had kidney issues.
-
There must be some serious schmoes out there who want to "live the dream" by knowing an 8 time Mr Olympia has one of their kidneys! ;D

Yeah he's probably counting on that.
Is there a reason he's looking for a living kidney donor though? Maybe he can't get on the transplant list or something?

Really funny fuckface, try harder

I`m hoping for the best outcome for Lee.
-
Terrible to hear. Wish the best for him.

Lee had a fantastic physique. One of the greats! Up there with Arnold, Ronnie, Dorian and Sergio. Hopefully he get help with his kidney. I always assumed he escaped bodybuilding with his health.

Sure, but bodybuilding(with PED's) makes you at more risk for it.
Simply because steroids increase blood pressure and hemacrit and that puts a strain on kidneys.
-
Let's hope he can buy one suited to him.
-
Lee has a big family, non of them are compatible donors?

The minute Dave breaks the news to coach Chris Aceto that our dear Lee Haney needs a Kidney transplant, this while Chris wants to talk about how bigger and ripped Andre Jack (his client) is coming this weekend to Arnold UK .....
As much as Chris probably like and respect Lee Haney he didn't know the sad news, didnt even reacted or wanted to talk about it
Dave tells him how he knows so many great BB dealing with kidney issues and Awkward how Aceto avoids the topic.
WooooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh The Sport

Typical Aceto. As long as he's not inconvenienced, that's the most important thing to him. Hmmmm Similar to how Jay seemed to not care about his "friend" Dave's health concerns that time. I guess Jay tends to associate with others that have the same philosophy on treating others...

Lee seems like a great guy

Most gear users are in denial, or simply don't want to hear or read it, but reality will catch up with them:
Abusing anabolic-androgenic steroids can cause serious kidney damage, including acute kidney injury, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and chronic kidney disease. These substances can cause high blood pressure, increase workload on the kidneys, and lead to protein in the urine, with some damage reversing after discontinuation.

Key Kidney Problems Associated with Steroid Abuse:
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Rapid loss of kidney function, often linked to extreme muscle breakdown (rhabdomyolysis) or direct toxicity.
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS): A scarring condition in the kidneys often seen in bodybuilders using steroids.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Long-term damage from high blood pressure, protein leakage (proteinuria), and toxic effects on renal tissues.
Kidney Abnormalities: Structural changes including glomerular toxicity and increased kidney size (via Growth Hormone use).

Key Risks and Factors:
High Dosage: Abuse of anabolic steroids (AAS) is a public health concern, particularly among bodybuilders.
Combined Supplements: Combining steroids with high protein intake or creatine can heighten risks.
Reversibility: Studies suggest that kidney function may improve if anabolic steroids are discontinued.

Important Distinctions:
Anabolic Steroids (AAS) are used to build muscle and are often abused, causing the damage described above.
Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory medications used to treat certain kidney diseases, though they have their own, different side effects (e.g., hypertension, infection risk).

Note: The risks listed here are generally associated with the misuse or abuse of anabolic-androgenic steroids, often in high doses by bodybuilders.
Although I don't think Haney has ever used growth hormones. Diuretics, maybe

Always seemed a well rounded guy, no faggotry or scandals ( that I've heard )
Hopefully he'll get a donor :)

When young Rich Gaspary showed up at the Olympia with striated glutes and took second place , I'm sure Lee Haney and everyone at that level used diuretics at some degree.
Samir Bamout 83' Christmas tree back ripped and flawless I'm sure there was a lot of motivation to hit the diurectics in the early 80's.
WooooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH The 80's

abusing anything will cause damage.
take 100 anavar tabs = nothing happens
take 100 paracetamol = death

Not. I don't think young schmoes have any idea who Haney is; he was from the pre internet era. And old schmoes are themselves physically falling apart and in no condition to donate anything. Finally, he is not big anymore so no schmoe is going to get excited over him. True he was totalee awesome in his day... but that was nearly 40 years ago. ::)

Or 100 shots of whiskey. Or 100 beers unless you are Andre The Giant. Get well soon, Lee.

What test?
To prove he is MENSA?

By Bhanks logic if he is a match and Haney accepts the kidney that makes him an 8 x mr Olympia.

Don't forget Beau Baisden is best friends with Lee Haney.

Ironically true in his infantile mind! LOL ;D
Let`s not forget he can beat Oliva,Arnold,Reeves,Zane,Pearl, etc. etc. etc. :D

Lee would turn down a kidney from BHanks.

no it means they are both fried, you only ever get one kidney in a transplant

My dad was on the list for one but decided just on dialysis instead.

Aceto told Palumbo to post an 80's picture of him with Lee Haney this past Monday when lee was at his peak because Lee Haney said nice things to Aceto's Bodybuilder kid at the Arnold UK
WoooSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

hey just to chime in here, lee quit competing at what age 32 which is young bye todays standards
and he slimmed down pretty fast i dont remember seeing any pics of him looking jacked since he retired. i wonder if this is a combination of genetics and past steroid use, but you would think the symptoms would have showed up way faster from the bodybuilding life style, of course working in a hostpital when i was younger i used to take people to dialysis i had people in ther 20's and 30's with bad kidneys
