Athletes with needles. What steroids do to the human body?

Injections of anabolic steroids a few decades ago have become a real temptation for people who dream to get a perfect body, not applying to this effort. Indeed, magic shots that for a couple of months can give a man of steel muscles without exhausting workouts and strict diet, sound like a real fairy tale, but as you know, free cheese is only in a mousetrap.

all kinds of bodybuilders and athletes who have decided to sit tight in the pharmaceutical "cure-all", also have to pay a price. In this article, we will tell you a couple of shocking stories about how hard it was for some people the desire to easily and quickly get a new perfect body with needles.

A woman who has grown not only muscles

In the modern world, the desire "to eat fish, and a needle catch," sin is not only men but also women. However, most beautiful women are not aware that in addition to sexual cubes press, "small chemical stimulus" in the form of injections of artificial testosterone is able to give the hapless lover of fitness is still a couple of unusual bodily transformations.

A good example of what happens to women who abuse steroids became a 30-year-old Englishwoman Candice Armstrong, whose love for banned drugs literally turned her into a man. Once thin cute blonde Candice, who did not planned to build a professional career in sports and just wanted a little "refine" his body, a couple of years of injections of anabolic steroids would not recognize even his own mother. Besides overinflated muscle, steroids gave the girl a hormonal failure, lush vegetation on the back, chest and face and another small detail. Due to the long abuse of testosterone Candice Armstrong without any operations literally grew a scaled-down version of the male reproductive organ.

Steroid rage wrestler Raging

Some people for abusing steroids have to pay something far more valuable than the outer ugliness. So, Canadian wrestler Christopher Michael Benoit, nicknamed Mad paid for his love of steroids with their lives, as well as the lives of his wife and seven sons. In June 2007, in an attack of the so-called "steroid rage" (side effects of anabolic steroids associated with an excess of testosterone in the body) Raging killed his wife and child, and then hanged himself at home in a sports simulator.

Ultimately, the investigation concluded that the main cause of the double murder and suicide fighter has become a progressive psychosis because of steroid abuse and transferred several head injuries.

Syntol and exploded biceps

Another death directly caused by doping, was the death of a Brazilian man, whose biceps literally imploded due to abuse of injections Synthol. In fact, Syntol does not belong to the category of steroids, and unlike anabolic steroids is, so to speak, one for the most lazy. This mixture of oil, alcohol and lidocaine sometimes inject themselves bodybuilders to muscle at the injection site appeared more bulky and large.

Syntol abuse often leads to tearing of muscles and other injuries, but for a Brazilian men desire to show the huge biceps proved fatal. When the man, whose biceps after regular injections Synthol reached 90 cm in diameter, was in a small car accident, doctors, arrived on the scene, were really shocked. Although the accident directly itself and not caused the Brazilian to serious injuries, siphoned oil mixture, alcohol anesthetic biceps could not stand even the lightest shock, and January 25, 2010 a man died in the hospital from blood loss after his hand literally exploded inside .
