When a bodybuilder dies people jump to a quick, uninformed conclusion. Personal responsibility plays a HUGE role! Yes AAS, GH, Ancillaries can all play a role in negative health issues and have serious consequences which is why everyone in this game needs to take their health seriously by watching their BP, doing blood work, get cardiac work up, Calcium CT, etc. I created The Definitive Health Thread, https://www.professionalmuscle.com/forums/index.php?threads/the-definitive-health-thread.168881/ and made a thread about my calcium score, https://www.professionalmuscle.com/forums/index.php?threads/my-ct-scan-calcium-score-results.167824/ in order to help people get their ducks in a row regarding basic health issues pertaining to this life! It's interesting to see some well known bodybuilders now talking about getting a Calcium CT test done...I think they've been reading Professional Muscle and that's a good thing!!
People are incredibly irresponsible when it comes to monitoring their health. It always amazes me how many people don't track their BP! High BP causes cardiomyopathy, heart attack, stroke, and is the number one cause of kidney failure!! Sleep apnea is another widely ignored issue and causes increased RBC's, high BP, cardiomyopathy, heart attack and on and on. I remember a video with Seth Feroce and he said he never used to check his BP which turned out to be high...really? With the amounts used regularly today for prolonged periods, people need to have some personal responsibility for these basic principles of health! If Seth had died of cardiac issues people would have jumped to say steroids did it. Would they have played a role? Yes, as a factor of co-morbidity but it would have been HIS own fault for not taking the most basic health precautions. Had Kali Muscle done a Calcium CT he could have avoided his heart attack. He had a widow maker and was lucky he survived! All of this is especially maddening considering heart disease is the number one killer!! There's another issue with these health tests not being part of everyone's work up with their doctor but that's another issue, so be proactive and be your own advocate with your health!
People can go on and on about AAS, GH, or whatever being bad but if you're not taking the above mentioned health precautions and more, then you've been irresponsible and have no right to solely blame gear for your health problems!
