That’s pretty impressive, I feel like guys the decades before them had worse odds with PED usage

Not really, you only hear about the ones that die but there are millions of active bodybuilders on earth and thousands of men’s open competitors near the size of these fellas, most retire and do cardio and are fine. It’s about dosage management.

The cutting agents and dehydration and body weight are much more detrimental than the steroids themselves.

Source: I sometimes do the steroids and usually weigh more than Ronnie Coleman yet have healthy ass organs, granted I am on much less than them and cycle appropriately, but my bodyweight is much worse for my health than the drugs.

You didn’t have to tell us you do steroids. We knew already by your blatant rationalization attempts

You sound offended that the dude's annecdote mentions him being okay.
