I met Jean Pall Sigmarsson a few weeks before he died, I even have a picture with him and I remember thinking at the time how strong and fit he appeared but health wise he was on the way out. Ok he was not a bodybuilder but the same issues are present. So sad that these guys are prepared to sacrifice themselves for appearance.

Roid rage can be dangerous to their wives or girlfriends.
I believe it can damage the liver and shrink other parts of the male anatomy.

[Mamyalynne]

No, they are a mess because of their addiction both physically and mentally - tragic really.

Well...you pays yer money and you takes yer chance.

I think the webbed neck caused by steroids looks dreadful.

[david small]

Ain't no cure for stupid.

[ummmm]

I know a meat head steroid user who is currently serving a long sentence in prison. I'm really curious to see what he looks like when he gets out.

[andy-hughes]

Depends what you mean by 'in shape' - they certainly are in 'a shape', but whether or not that is a desirable shape depends on your attitude to bodybuilding.

It does bring to mind Clive James' immortal description of Arnold Schwarzenegger, looking like 'a condom full of walnuts'.

You may want to correct the notes on your photo: Not Jean Pall but Jón Páll....

well I was gonna say sqad - obvious growth hormone abuser

if you do drugs you must expect to have a shorter life
( I cant think of any that lengthen life)

I'm hoping my Ramipril will.

I know a '' bodybuilder'' on roids, he goes to the gym regularly ( to get his roids that is ), he usually works the door at a well known lap dancing club in Brum. Only one small draw back though his kidneys are knackered !.

[kvalidir]

I find men who look like that seriously unattractive. Poor guy dying young though :(

[Peter Pedant]

OG whammy-pril
yeah I am on that
rather oddly as far as I can work out for me
if I get an overwhelming infection I have a higher chance of survival if I am pre treated with ramipril
so I take it every day on the off-chance

I was using 'droogz' in the non medical sense of habit forming droogz of abuse .... heavily built body builders dropping dead on steroids and others is hardly news

[one said to me 'the problem is thatif you stop you go bak to looking like Lena Zavaroni" ]
