For decades (and still today) most professional athletes and olympic athletes take some form of steroid or at least a pre-cursor. Still, you don't hear about steroid related deaths. BUT! Every time a new upper is introduced onto the market and catches fire (diet pills, ephedra, etc...) you get massive amounts of stories and hundreds of deaths per year nation wide.

It can't be a coincidence that it's happened to four guys who played the same position for the same team. Even if it wasn't steroids, these guys had to be taking something similar that made them wack out when they reached their 40's.
