Dead Bodybuilders...From Tnation

[noon]

Not arguing that there haven't been several bodybuilders to die, but we're still talking about a miniscule number of people. Further, pick any sport and you can make a similar list...for example, Pro Football:

15 players that have died from similar causes as this posted list of bodybuilders. Does not include players over 35. Does not include college players. Does not include death related to injury sustained during the game. Include any of those three things and this list expands dramatically.

Gaines Adams: Bears - cardiac arrest 26yrs old
Ricky Bell: Chargers - Dermatomyositis 29yrs old
Leon Bender: Raiders - Seizure 29yrs old
Frank Buncorn: Bengals - Blood Clot 29yrs old
J.V. Cain: Cardinals - Heart attack 28yrs old
David Croudip: Falcons - Drugs 30yrs old
Larry Gordon: Dolphins - Heart attack 28yrs old
Thomas Herrion: 49ers - Heart failure 23yrs old
Mack Lee Hill: Chiefs - Pulmonary embolism 25yrs old
Chuck Hughes: Lions - cardiac arrest 28yrs old
Eugene Lipscomb: Steelers - Drugs 31yrs old
Damien Nash: Broncos - heart failure 24yrs old
Lucien Reeberg: Lions - Heart attack 21yrs old
Don Rogers: Browns - Drugs 23yrs old
Dave Waymer: Raiders - Heart attack 34yrs old

The point: 1,600 men play pro football every year, a minuscule number compared to the number of people bodybuilding and you can easily find as many if not more deaths at a young age in football. Does that mean butt loads of steroids are good for you? Of course not...I simply don't care for ignoring other areas that are just as deadly.

Fun fact here

Buttload: “A 'butt' is a traditional unit of volume used for wines and other alcoholic beverages. A butt is generally defined to be two hogsheads, but the size of hogsheads varies according to the contents. In the United States a hogshead is typically 63 gallons and a butt is 126 gallons.”Jun 23, 2011
