So far, I've heard Lyle Alzado...the guy who died from brain cancer...20+ years ago. If you've got an example of someone who has actually, verifiably died due to steroid use while under the consultation of a doctor, I'm open to read it.

The truth is, nobody is against steroids because they are worried about baseball players dying. It's an excuse to be against steroids for other reasons.

There are a number of stories documenting the premature deaths and heart issues that have plagued pro-wrestlers and that's not even counting the psychological issues. Considering that they are one of the groups that abuse steroids the most, if you're looking for a canary in the coal mine they are it.
