The Dangers of PED's (Performance Enhancing Drugs)

Randy Savage is one of the most recent former athletes who died on a heart attack. A story accompanying his death showed the number of professional wrestlers who have died in the last decade, with most of them dying from heart attacks. You may also recall that Arnold Schwarzenegger underwent open heart surgery to repair heart related problems.

What's the connection? IMO, we seeing the effect of long term steroid use, even after drug use has been discontinued in some cases.

The link that follows is from the Mayo Clinic and offers some insight into PED"s and their side effects.

lippy thought this was going to be a viagra thread:smt042

 

Naughy girl...maybe in an over 70's forum...Though, on a more serious note, I just read something about viagra and other drugs like it, that may cause hearing loss. I guess that means that there'll be a lot more deaf men in the future if that's true. I didn't mean to dis-rail my own thread.

 

men don't listen anyways...they might as well be deaf:smt003

 

totally incorrigible, tsk, tsk...Besides, there's a big difference between "listening" and complying.:smt003

 

i should have said that men have selective hearing
