    Abuse barely covers it... his dad was a total nutcase...

    Unless I am mistaken, his mom and him had to get a restraining order against the dad.

    That was a good segment-

    it sounds lke it was highly likely his dad (Hearing how abusive of a person he is) indeed did mix powdered steroids into those "drinks"

    Look at how much muscle Sandrak lost at the end of the segment.

    Wonder if that powder consisted of crushed up dbol pills and crushed winny pills...
    if it was, that is a true shame. Giving a kid so young these oral steroids (it sounds like he was taking them for awhile too!) most likely was quite hazerdous to his health. I wonder if his liver/ kidneys suffered permanent damage IF that was indeed what his father was giving him.

    I know i'm speculating, but if he was given orals (short acting) that may be why he passed these steroid drug tests....if his dad knew he was going to have one for whatever reason- i believe they said he had a few- he could just omit the powder from the drinks for a few days...

    Regardless of what was in that powder, it is nice to see that he is having a more normal life......although he lost a lot of muscle, he's still in better shape than 99.99% of kids his age... i wonder if he will want to be a bodybuilder (by his own will) someday in the future.

    I think his dad gave him anavar !!
    im assuming anavar because it wont close his growth plates

    In the TLC version Richards dad got angry when they asked him to do a lie detector test so there is no accurate way to know how the kid got so musclar

    they specifically said he can't lift weights until he is 16..

    i don't know how much damage has already been done, but this may be a good thing for him in the long run

    in 10 years he could be a monster. it will be interesting to see...

    I watched the TLC show and I feel sorry for the kid! He wasn't given the chance to be a kid at all!

    Did anyone see the stretching the Mom was doing to his sister? I thought it was a little weird.

    The weights are going to be the big problem for this boy. His growth plates are going to already be stunted. I bet he will not get much taller then he is at this point. Look at his height advances over the past few years. I think he is the same height. Like was said, his poor liver and kidneys, he will most likely be on dyalisis by the time he is 20. Poor kid
