Gustavo Badell passed away ..... 07-12-23

[webstar]

We never hear tho ..... we just hear so and so bodybuilder died ... then we wait to hear the reason ...  and we never do! ... hard to be a cautionary tale if they don't tell us!

I don’t know why you are so perplexed like this is the Kennedy assassination.

He was a bodybuilder
He took boat loads of drugs for 10-15 years

Tried to downsize after the damage is done.

Play with fire and you get burned. In this cremated.

When people die from organ failure or overdose etc., the family doesn't make it known for obvious reasons.

They want to preserve some sort of legacy instead of saying "well, my brother melted his organs on massive amounts of drugs and died".

These guys are injecting massive amounts of drugs and taking oral medications by the handful.

Add the NSAIDs and rec drugs to "stabilize" them mentally.

This "sport" is completely fucked up and it has been for decades.

Most people still want to believe deep down it's about genetics, diet, training and rest.

When there are dozens of guys who have been over 300 pounds eating McDonalds and staying up all night on coke at parties.

This is an all drugs sport, always has been.

and I accept that fully! (Just always wondering tho if the vax played any part in it ..... I don't recall bodybuilders dropping like flies before the vax is all)

Why is Palumbo still alive?!! (I worked and went to " after hours clubs" that Dave would frequent .... jammed out of his mind! Loved McDonald's! Took boatloads of gear plus synthol)

I’m sure the vax was the nail in the coffin.

The copious amounts of drugs and dieurtics for 20+ years had nothing to do with it.

You know you are a bodybuilder when blaming the vax is the first conclusion drawn not the 20 years or aas

PIP.

Golden era cycles and lifestyle > post 90s.

The 90s era and onwards guys are dropping like flies.

Yup.  They took time away from the drugs.  I think I have mentioned this before but I recall Robbie Robinson in the Weider mag saying he was going to be the first bodybuilder in show condition all year 'round.  Then he had heart trouble.  Yeah...

All my friends and even just the guys I knew at the gyms that took steroids didn't take them in mass quantities all year 'round.  They wanted to live and no one was really certain what the long term affects might be so they were far more cautious that these guys since the late '80s or so.

The last few decades the "off-season" is anything but.  They look like they must have gills because their bodies are covered water.

Ok I could be wrong .... wouldn't be the first time! Just curious is all ...

I'm not getting my 5th booster after this terrible tragedy.

[michael arvilla]

Ok you https://www.instagram.com/reel/CunoPOfgvuN/?igshid=OGIzYTJhMTRmYQ==guys are right! He did have a kidney transplant (sister) my bad

I do not think you are wrong, brother.  The vaccine coupled with who really knows how long and how much PEDs isn't going to result in today's bodybuilder being Methuselah. 

As for Dave Palumbo?  He looks like a bag of soggy-wet buffalo chips and he knows it.   Even flies don't like wet shit.

He's been through some serious health issues though and has admitted his body is wrecked.

That's the genetic part of BBing.

How well your body holds up to insane amounts of drugs.

Same with smoking and drinking.

Many people get away with it for 50-60 years, while others have serious health issues after 10 years.

It's always a gamble. My oldest brother is an alcoholic that smokes two packs a day and hasn't had any health issues. My good friend from high school smoked for 15 years and died of cancer at 42.

A lot of the competitors from the 2002 Mr Olympia are gone. Atwood, Nasser, Badell, Youngblood. All dead.

Matarazzo was part of the commentary crew, and he is also dead.

Titus competed... prison

Flex competed...  lost a leg

Ronnie won... crippled himself

Orville Burke...  tore a tricep at a post Olympia photo shoot. Almost died during the tricep surgery. Instant retirement.

Even leading up to the show, Fux collapsed while squatting 675LBS

Good choice Abe.

It seems like the vaccine stole another soldier from us before his time…..

When does the IFBB life insurance cheque get deposited to his family?

Has Vince confirmed this?

Has Palumbo made a video about another one of his "good friends"?

Did he die of a steroid overdose or is this a vaccine cover up?

I believe the life insurance is only valid while an individual is an active competitor. It’s not portable life insurance, you need to be an active employee or competitor .

Trigili is saying Gustavo had a kidney transplant from his sister and was * possibly using gear again (allegedly)

Not just distasteful but moronic. Ive never heard of an acute steroid induced death. Steroid overdose. What fucking retard wrote that? My guess is creatine overdose. Or a dangerous combination of melatonin and pyruvate.

[BayGBM]

Wasn’t worth it.  RIP

[LurkerNoMore]

Died from all NatchYurYall causes.

Chic is such a piece of trash.

"He wasn't juicing hard, was always lean and mean. We don't know his family history, there could be a thousand things that caused this".

Fuck off Bob. Seriously.

* Gustavo Baddel update!
It looks like Gustavo Bedell had a kidney transplant many years ago he got from his sister
As we all know, he lost a lot of weight 12 years ago and returns in bodybuilding
What I heard was he starts gain weight again and want to get big again?
So he was walking bulking back up
They found him passed away they believe he died from a stroke
