"After ten years of taking performance-enhancing drugs, I'm absolutely fine," Larry said.

In recent times, many young competitors have died in the sport of bodybuilding, which has caused great concern in other competitions. And no wonder, always last week even died professional bodybuilder Cedric McMillan, who was 44 years old. However, as early as early November, Arnold Schwarzenegger was already claiming that a return to "healthier" bodybuilding was needed.

In the past decade, the bodybuilding world has lost many competitors, many times more than other sports. Most American football players die at a much older age than bodybuilders, despite a multitude of problems. Even in MMA, compared to professional bodybuilding, premature death is rather the exception.

And it is the sudden deaths in the sport that have made other anabolic steroid users think about their use and the impact on their health. Former professional bodybuilder, Seth Feroce, for example, said:

Steroids will kill you. You get the idea. They're gonna fucking kill you. They kill you. You're playing with fire and we all know it. Not many people say that. Of course, they don't say it like I do, but that's the reality.

However, one of the best strength athletes in the world, Larry Wheels, has become concerned about his health, and he's also doping. He even made a video about this problamatique in which he talked about getting tested to see where he stands health-wise.

"Everything is fine! I'm shocked, after ten years I can't believe it, well I guess I don't abuse as much as I thought. From what the doctor said - perfectly normal healthy heart. I was afraid of what the answer might be, afraid of what the health of my heart might be. I didn't want to hear the doctor say, "Larry, you need to stop lifting. Larry, you have poor heart health." So you can imagine what a relief it was today to hear that it was a perfectly normal, healthy heart.

This is a message to anyone who might be using PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) and who has decided not to get checked. You may not be as lucky as I was. The problem is that if you wait too long and have symptoms, chest pain or an irregular heart rate, then it may be too late." said Larry.

What do you think about doping substance use?
