Steely Dan Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 This is really sad. 26 is waaaay to young to die. Steroid use can cause an enlarged heart. His family must be shocked. I wonder if he was using steroids in college. It would explain his sudden drop in play once he got to the NFL. This could be another reason for kids to avoid steroids if this was caused by lingering effects of steroid use. However, it is pro wrestling where the problem appears to be the most pervasive and deadly. In five of the 25 deaths, medical examiners concluded that steroids might have played a role. Excessive steroid use can lead to an enlarged heart. In 12 others, examiners in medical reports cited evidence of use of painkillers, cocaine and other drugs.

Ice cold. The guy the bucs draft with that pick will forever be the guy that was traded for a dead guy. But perhaps a little early to be saying it.

Gaines Adams play dropped off because he played at Clemson, in the weak ACC, his stats got inflated and he worked out well, thats why he was drafted so high. Did you ever see Gaines adams, he wasn't doing steroids, he got by on length, not strength. and speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever see Gaines adams, he wasn't doing steroids, he got by on length, not strength. and speed I'm just pointing out that an enlarged heart is one of the consequences of steroid use. I don't know for sure he did but if that was the cause of his enlarged heart it's a warning for kids. JMO BTW, in the future could you make sure your open and closing quotes match. It makes it harder to respond to you when they don't. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
