    Mike Matarazzo's Health Issues

    You guys heard about, read about Mike Matarazo's recent health issues? He underwent triploe bypass heart surgery a while back and in the latest issue of Flex Mag he has an update and an interview in which he blames is decline on "chemicals" he has used throughout his career. He mentions steroids specicially. Any one have thoughts on this?

    craziest calves in bb'ing.

    dude was never fully up to par with the competition. That said of course without reading the article, but sadly enough when these dudes look back on the drug use that they at the time were fully aware of potential health risks, can still go ahead and "blame" the gear.

    I dunno, all around just a negative thing, something I try not to concern myself with.

    When these guys talk about their drug use you have to realise the amount of gear their taking, including rec drugs, pain killers to keep up their routines etc... the list is endless. I read somewhere in the last few year's that to even hope to get into Mr O's top ten line up your talking about a drug bill of close to $100K per annum. You have to put these things into perspective before concerning yourself with our steroid cycles.

    I agree...

    but at the same time it's really dumb...

    i mean...taking 4-5 compunds at a time and at extreme dosages and then they blame it on the "chemicals"?

    what the hell do you expect ?!??

    wtf?

    Exactly...it is not the chemicals...it is the user. I guess these guys just want something to blame for their situation. Once they die though it leaves it to the public to blame steroids ...I hear that Tom Prince is also blaming his chemical usage for his current situation.

    i really dont see why they would use rec drugs. and to be honest its kind of hard to be mr. o if u were to be partying like u said with x, and booze and shit. they are extremly dedicated to what they do and i dont think they would screw it up to roll a few times.
