where is there ANY evidence that mike's death is related to steroid use 20 years ago. mike had pretty much flipped out mentally (i believe he crossed that fine line between genius and insanity) toward the end of his life. maybe, if mike had been practicing what he preached , he would still be alive. who really knows.

only time will tell the life span of todays top BBers. but the 60's and 70's BBer's are all basicly healthy today. (with the exception of Mentzer brothers). i look at it this way... what is the health of a person who smoked during the 60's 70's and 80's and what is the health of a person who juiced during that period? i think the answer is pretty clear. some amount of gear is healthy but the amount that some people use now well....????

years of juice, with cocaine, with narcotics, with speed, with alcohol, with cigs, with family history and personal history of heart problems all attributed to= early death.
