Former champion bodybuilder says steroid abuse left mark on his body

[a-bomb5083]

definitly key word being abuse. you do NOT have to abuse aas to get a nice body. its just responsible use is key, not abuse.

There's the cancer, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It first reared its ugly head in 1986 and came back in '89 and again, with a vengeance, in '90. Rauch has been in remission since his bone marrow transplant, 15 years, knock on wood.

There's the deterioration of his joints. Left shoulder, replaced. Left hip, replaced. Right knee, bone on bone; he wears a brace and doesn't even want to think about another replacement surgery.

There are the staph infections, one of which shut down Rauch's kidneys two years ago. Three days a week, he goes to the Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Milwaukee for dialysis.

There are the basil cell carcinomas, the arthritis, the heart murmur, the bouts with depression.

Steroids, he is convinced, did all that, too.

This is why i only read credible news sources and watch a limited ammount of credible TV...NEWS are plain fabricated ....just as the social security debate...( which at the unbiased factcheck.org recieved a 72% liberal leaning rating) point is NEWS ARE HEAVILY BIASED and strait fabrications. Show me scientific proof tying sterroids with any of the symptoms he listed, heart murmurs directly, hips breaking, staff infections, ARTHRITIS?????????????? ...ITS SCIENTIFICALY NOT THERE!

Give me a fucking break.....Arthritis too? LMFAO..

The only way steroid use is medically linked to the whole "heart damage" is it screws lipid profiles. If you keep these in check you are fine. As for the cancer....that is the only thing androgens do in some rare cases speed up. They speed up genetic precoded conditions.

This collumnist should be beat with a blunt object like a 120lb dumbell.
As for this guy.....its natural selection at work.......1 less dumbass...no sympathy for idiots.......blaming everything on juice.......IDIOT....his broken hips..knees...his arthritis?

Cant we speed up the natural selection process for some people? Im a sympathetic person...but when i heard about his arthritis, broken hips, shoulder and knee, being a results of his use of these "very dangerous evil steroids" i lost that!

I don't see a connection here.
There is no link between cancers and AAS, except but the possibility of Prostate Cancer.

Let's get real here. If you think about it... juice makes your muscles grow faster, you get bigger. And you really don't think that the same is going to happen to any "cancer" in your body. I believe that juice will not only increase your chances for heart problems, but also cancer. If we want bigger, better, faster results..then you can expect the same for any unwanted sides.

Trudy says, "if you play you're going to pay, somewhere down the road."

That quote is something to think about...It's all fine and dandy now (when you are young and strong), but think about what's going to happen down the road when you get old... scary shit.

Thanks for the good read NYBodyGaurd. It definatly made me think.

Long term steroids abuse, accompanied with high fat diets of the 70's will speed up heart disease in anyone, and especially anyone who has predispostion to heart disease, but its hard to say what it would to do people who may have high predisposition to cancer or something. The average person will not have any problems from taking steroids, but there will be a small percentage who will. There are allways a small percentage of people who are freaks of nature; people who die from bee stings, allergic to peanuts, penicillin and so on. Everything you put in body has a cause and effect, its just a matter of your genetics, and how it affects you. But, assuming you can never have a problem, you might be setting yourself of dissapointment if you are one of the few freaks of nature.

I never said juice is completely healthy.

However...if you read Government reports...Marijuana..can lead to paralasys, stroke, psychosis, heart problems, lung problems,depression, death. Dont FORGET ITS HIGHLY ADICTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WERE ALL GOING TO GET ADICTED!!! DAMN!!!! RUN NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MARIJUANA IS THE SILENT KILLER!!!!!!!!!! MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ROBING PHARMACIES AND LABS TO GET THEIR FIX!!!!!!! IT MUST BE STOPED!!!! BECAUSE OF EACH MARIJUANA PUFF YOU TAKE A KITEN DIES !!!!

And taking Vitamin C causes my dick to shrink too.
Vitamin D causes antenas to grow on my head.
Witamin B12 causes roid rage and for me to kill over 100 peopel on the road each day.

I agree...AAS use increases the chances for developing some types of ANDROGENIC TUMORS.....

Everything else lsited = BS

The odd thing is.. it came out that baseball players were using this stuff in the late 60' also. No one is making a big deal of that. I think all the hoopla is dying down slowly!

 

[landser]

How can he prove steroids caused his cancer? Millions of people have cancer, and millions of those people have never used steroids. Another bullshit article.

Lol bro, touchy subject for you? Let that aggression out on the weights!

J/p, I feel ya bro. Cigarettes are so much more harmful for the body than roids, yet they are legal AND socially accepted (well, in most cases).
