Actually my error, I was wrong! The study was peer reviewed in Lithuania. However this is not an actual study, it is a study of 93 or so studies on the topic, referencing a few pages from each. Steroids could have defiantly been a factor or not, they are referring to less than 30 athletes as well. Oh boy, lets see, how many people do you think abuse AAS? Here is an interesting variable that may or may not have been considered
According to the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research, 85 college athletes died from 2000 to 2016 from indirect causes related to their sport. (Indirect causes of death, such as heatstroke and sudden cardiac arrest, occur when overexertion causes one or more of the body’s key systems to fail.) Of those 85 deaths, 40 percent were football players. And according to Scott Anderson, Oklahoma’s head athletic trainer who has published research on the subject, 23 Division I football players alone have died from indirect causes since 2000. Most of the deaths occurred after workouts or conditioning drills, including a Maryland offensive lineman who died in June.* Most football players have elevated body weight, also the NAACP has drug testing that limits the use of AAS, and im sure if drugs were involved they would be all over it and parents would be suing the fuck out of someone. People die all the fucking time! from a host of reasons, yes AAS could and Im sure have contributed to death and illness lets not be stupid or naive.For the most part it is because AAS work and do what they are suppose to do. Weight gain, which leads to a host of down stream effects, BP issues etc. An enlarged heart can come from just weight training. or even running. Steroids aren't really healthy its a risk reward system.Choose your poison carefully. Sorry if my posts came off like an asshole.
