***** I disagree. Look at the mister Olympia. Besides one all the winners are still alive. IMO the win that contest you have to take lots of steroids and many other bad things so the risk can't be so big. There's a documentary called Sigmarsson Lager than Life on youtube. In there is said that he had something like a congenital heart condition and that was cause of his death. It maybe that certain products or the sport on it's own has speeded his denying up. But he probably had it coming anyway.

If you're a cyclist every time you step on that bike you take a risk. Cyclists sometimes end up death or in a wheelchair. So whatever you do there's always a risk. The better you want to be the more you got to do the more risk involved.

***** Some 25 years ago I doped and I learned it is the norm in sports like powerlifting or body-building. In these sports it isn't cheating. Neither it is in cycling. Lance Armstrong did what they all did. That he was better than others is because of a difference in talent. And also he worked extremely hard. To me it's a pity that in the end he got caught and lost his Tour de France victories. In a poll nearly all other winners said that Armstrong should've kept his victories. That may say something about themselves since, if they were always clean, they wouldn't defend a doper.

I was a bit afraid to work as hard as these guys did but now you made things a lot less scary for me. Of course steroids would be the cause of their deaths.

I was young and nieve once, reality is they are not magic pills and those elite athletes work harder than you will in 100 lifetimes. It is inhuman the amount of work they do because to be the best there is no substitute for hard work. Steroids aid recovery so they can wok harder. Many injuries are due to chronic overuse which 99% will never train hard enough for that to happen.

Unusual deaths, usually have a ...hidden cause. For these kind of athletes(strongmen, powerlifters, bodybuilders, etc), that usual cause, is the abusive use of steroids. At younger ages you feel invicible(all organs in your body new and strong), but as you grow older, the years of abusive use, come asking for a toll.

man died while lifting i cant think of a higher honour for any strongman

I loved John Paul Sigmarsson..!!! He was a big character...miss him..!!! He died on my birthday!

I don't think intense training and high calorie diet kills you, years of steroids do.

Steroid is stronger than the strongest man. Beats them every time , for good.

Just like anything else you go too far it'll kill you.a little bit is a good thing a little more maybe better too much kills you quick. I'd rather die at 55 and have a good life and be strong and in shape then rot away like my father did it 71 350 lb in can't move what's the point of living when your body is a tomb
