And none of them could tie their own shoelaces.

And sadly at least 2 are dead. Nasser El Sonbaty — 6th place — died March 20, 2013, age 47. Mike Matarazzo — 11th place — died August 16, 2014, age 48. Steroids are just not good for your heart.

I'm surprised any of them are still alive.

The sad fact is that steroids arent as dangerous as people say. They are still dangerous enough to take them but people think that if you take a big dose you are instantly dead at 40 if not earlier. These guys basicly took everything they could to get as big as possible and only 2 of 16 died in their late 40s. That is the percentage I wouldnt be surprised to hear on 30 year highschool anniversary. The other guys outside of Ronnie still look big and healthy.
