Nasser El Sonbaty has died.

You having a bad day Rodja, or are you rude all the time, I was just trying to communicate my point of view, if it was wrong fine, that doesn't bother me, but I didn't come here to squabble with you. I don't understand what I did to provoke the response you're giving me. If I did something to offend you I'm sorry.

[Rodja]

I'm not offended; it's just odd that you seem to have some denial about the amount of shit that the pros ingest having any causation with an early death. He's had health, specifically kidney issues, for years and he's not the only prominent BBer from the 90's to die or have a major health crisis (e.g. Flex, DeMayo, Matarazzo, etc.).

[Eden]

I didn't imply, or intend to imply that what he didn't have an effect on his health, but it is my personal opinion that the things he did are over exaggerated in his cause of death. I am aware that what he did was dangerous, but my intention was that we all do things that impact our health. When I see the same amount of outcry when a normal person dies bitching at mcdonalds, as I do when a bber dies at steroids then I might change my stance. There seems to be a double standard of blaming Steroids, and the "chemical cocktail" they take, yet a blind eye is turned when an average person dies of a chemical cocktail of synthetic chemicals, and foods totally unnatural to humans that they consume.

To get a better idea, even the Golden Era dudes had heart problems just from long term d-bol use. Arnold eventually had to get two heart surgeries didn't he?

i've heard kidney failure, i've heard malaria. both are not confirmed. considering he lived in CA though, malaria seems like a stretch.

That one is reported to be congenital. Most of them, though, have lived long lives and are still alive today. It wasn't until GH/slin and diuretics came into play that shit got really dangerous.

RIP Nasser, and god be with you and your family.

I met Nasser one year and we got along real great, I even was telling about an article he wrote, about hating the weights.. He really dug that. Years later at the Emerald Cup, he still remembered my name. Great guy, great competitor and he will be missed.
