STEROID DEATHS DURING THE HOLIDAYS

Update: January 13, 2014

GREG KOVACS:
IT WAS REPORTED IN RX MUSCLE THAT GREG (GREGORY MARK…) KOVACS DIED NOVEMBER 22ND, 2013 AT THE VERY YOUNG AGE OF 44 IN HIS SUBURBAN TORONTO CONDOMINIUM. BORN DECEMBER 16TH, 1968 IN CANADIAN – NIAGARA FALLS, GREG KOVACS SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC HEART ATTACK; THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG STEROID USERS INCLUDING BODYBUILDERS AND WRESTLERS.

DEEMED TO BE THE STRONGEST AND MOST MASSIVE BODYBUILDER IN THE WORLD, GREG KOVACS ACHIEVED AN OFF-SEASON WEIGHT OF 420 LBS, WITH A HEIGHT OF 6′ – 4″, 70-INCH CHEST, 35 INCH QUAD/HAMSTRING DIAMETER, AND OTHER STATS THAT ADDED TO HIS IMPOSING PRESENCE. GREG’S ENORMITY MADE IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO CUT MASS WHICH PRECLUDED HIM FROM WINNING MANY BODYBUILDING COMPETITIONS. AS A RESULT, GREG WOULD FOCUS ON POWERLIFTING AND PERSONAL TRAINING ENDEAVORS UNTIL HIS ULTIMATE DEMISE.

BY MERE OBSERVATION, MEDICAL EXPERTS OFTEN ASKED WHETHER GREG’S DRIVE FOR EXTREME MASS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRAPPINGS OF BIGOREXIA. REPORTEDLY, GREG HAD NO CHILDREN AND WAS NOT IN A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP AT THE TIME. HE WAS SURVIVED BY HIS GRIEVING PARENTS AND A SISTER.

DEREK ANTHONY:
SOONAFTER THE DEATH OF GREG KOVACS, NEWS CIRCULATED THAT DEREK ANTHONY WAS SUFFERING FROM RENAL DISEASE. BY DECEMBER 10TH, 2013, DEREK ANTHONY HAD DIED AT THE VERY TENDER AGE OF 33. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT RENAL DISEASE IS ASSOCIATED WITH KIDNEY FAILURE AND THE BODY’S INABILITY TO PROPERLY FILTER WASTE AND OTHER TOXINS.

DEREK ANTHONY’S REPUTATION WAS NOT BUILT UPON STRONG PLACINGS AT BODYBUILDING COMPETITIONS BUT RATHER FOR A FAN-BASE THAT EVOLVED OUT OF HIS ENDEAVORS IN THE GAY PORN INDUSTRY. WHEREAS THERE IS NO EVIDENCE THAT DEREK ANTHONY WAS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A STRAIGHT MALE, HIS PERSONAL INCOME WAS (AT LEAST…) PARTIALLY BASED UPON PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEOS TARGETED TOWARD THE GAY MALE DEMOGRAPHIC.

MANY BODYBUILDERS RESORT TO EASY MONEY ASSOCIATED WITH GAY PORN AS A WAY TO MAINTAIN (1) A CERTAIN LIVING STANDARD AS WELL AS (2) THE HIGH COST OF STEROIDS. AS WAS THE CASE WITH ANTHONY, THIS APPROACH TO PERSONAL INCOME IS SHORT-LIVED AND QUITE RISKY AS SUPPLEMENT COMPANIES TEND TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM PROFILES WITH UNCONVENTIONAL LIFESTYLES. MOREOVER, BODYBUILDERS AGE AND FACE FIERCE COMPETITION FROM YOUNGER MALE BODYBUILDERS WHO ALSO SEEK THEIR OWN DEALS IN THE GAY PORN INDUSTRY.

AS NOTED IN EARLIER ARTICLES ON THIS WEBSITE, KIDNEYS ARE AMONG INTERNAL ORGANS THAT OFTEN FAIL WHEN SUBJECT TO PROLONGED STEROID USE. WHEN USED CORRECTLY, STEROIDS AND HORMONES ARE ONLY TO BE USED FOR THE TREATMENT OF (A) LEGITIMATE WASTING DISEASES AFTER BEING (B) APPROPRIATELY PRESCRIBED BY AN HONEST MEDICAL DOCTOR. DEREK ANTHONY’S MEDICAL ISSUES WERE SO CHRONIC THAT HE WAS ON DIALYSIS TREATMENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
NOTE: DIALYSIS IS COMMON TO MANY BODYBUILDERS AND ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER IS RUMORED TO BE RECEIVING DIALYSIS TREATMENTS 3-TIMES PER WEEK.
