anyone remember don long?

[freakazoid]

he was an ifbb pro and a big mother,he needed a kidney transplant and finely got one but i just saw a pic of him in a bb mag and holey f--k he is like 180 lb. makes you think,anabolics at the degree pros use can really f you up.whell at least he is doing well now,doubt well ever see him at a show again but who knows.

Do you really think only the anabolics fucked his kidney up? I know few pros and let me tell you they eat like shit and drink like fish and just keep popping pills to stay lean, I'm pretty sure the anabolics is not what fucked him up.

Maybe all the protein those freaks eat does it.

he actually admitted in an interview in a bb mag that he thought steroids greatley contributed to his kidney problems.of course thats not the only thing,but do you honestly think had he not done them,he would have needed a transplant?

I read he had a genetic predisposition to it(something like one kidney was under sized to the other...) I've seen a picture of him with one of my friends at an airport he was one big Mofo

I remember when he was a 19 year old teen competitor, kinda skinny. There was one particular year when he exploded in size...

Freak, hey bro not saying they did nothing but truly how many times have you heard that someone who eats healthy and does not drink in excess and also take numerous other rec. drugs needing a transplant. I bet there are numerous bro's on the board that have been on for years though they may not aadmitt it cause of some abuse they may take but if you take care of yourself and eat good and not to much fat and drink a lot of water yuor odds of getting fucked up from roid are slim. I feel that most of us will live longer due to the test and HGH just don't fuck around with 100 of other bullshit drugs. Later

agree w/you for the most part bro ,but he already had inhearited probs w/kidney.and i am sure you realise most pros will basicly do anything that they can get aholt of that will cause growth.were talking year round cycles with grams of test.$60-$100,000 a yr in anabolics,growth hormone,ect.the average rookie like most of us could never really comprehend the amount of aas these guys use.as you said some of these guys part there asses off and still make the top 10 and never have any magor health probs.but i wish don well and am curious to see if he can make any type of comeback.

i know lots of people who have never used anabolic who have contracted cancer and various other ailments... who knows what caused his kidney failure... could have been any number of htings.

 

[trial0r]

people have renal failure all the time without any drugs at all. im sure they contributed, but he was definitely predisposed to it to begin with. he underwent dialyisis for a more than a year i think until his sister donated a kidney to get him to the top of the waiting list.
