Dead Bodybuilders...From Tnation

[Honkey_Kong]

I was saying it in another thread, but in those deaths (both the football players and the bodybuilders), how many of them were either caused by or had a contributing cause by recreational drugs, pain killers, muscle relaxers, and diuretics?

I'm not going to say bodybuilding or PEDs are healthy to partake in, but I'm willing to bet a good number of those deaths had a different smoking gun than what the media attributes their deaths to.

I've heard stories of pro-wrestlers, football players and bodybuilders abusing those other drugs on a very regular basis. But when one of them dies, it's never the rec drugs or pain killers that the media blames. It's always the steroids or growth hormone. Despite the fact that they will pop Vicodins as if they're Tic Tacs and wash it down with gallons of beer and hard liquor and do this on a daily basis.

I agree with this.

Just by looking at the list, you can figure that a good portion of these deaths are not due to steroid/hgh abuse.

There is a large group that can be attributed to heavy stim abuse (still bb-ing related), and there is another portion that can most likely be attributed to acute narcotic overdose.
