Not shocking for me

Rick Rude a Fit Wrestler
was in the bathroom of his Hotel
Room , his wife in the bedroom
he took some anabolic steroids
and died from from a Massive Heart Attack.
http://www.tradingcarddb.com/Images/...58098-97Fr.jpg
around 8 to 10 years before his sad death in 1999, aged 40
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rude
The reason I loved him
Rude appeared on both WWF Raw is War and WCW Monday Nitro on November 17, 1997.
which proved to public -- one was not Live
one of them he had a tash


If you can not be bothered to get a Trainer
to Professionally advise you
you are playing with Death.


I am shocked if Amazon pays them

Sounds like death by stupidity to me

Kizzy 07-03-2015 01:10 PM

I remember buying some as a teen as my sis took it back and went mad with the chemists for selling them to kids.
Then pro plus got really popular in the 90s too.

Livia 07-03-2015 01:45 PM

Another ****wit out of the gene pool.

Kizzy 07-03-2015 01:50 PM

Wow... that's savage, what a disgusting thing to say.
There are those on this forum who admit to taking substances that are at best unidentified and at worst illegal, and that's met with almost fanatical hero worship.
I am constantly surprised on this forum.

I said virtually the same thing as LT and you're on my case. What are you, my conscience? I don't need a ticking off from you thanks.

And surely everyone with half a brain knows it's dangerous in large quantities.

I was addressing both of you, if I meant you directly I'd quote you.

So... How does that then make him any more stupid than a kid who takes pool cleaner?
Caffeine is in many things and is maybe why he felt it was 'safe'.

Crimson Dynamo 07-03-2015 02:21 PM

the Hard Rhino label warned the powder “can be dangerous if abused” and that “failure to follow safety guidelines can result in serious injury or death.

Kizzy 07-03-2015 02:27 PM

It says that on paracetomol, what's your point?

He made an error like many teens do, why that preempts such heartless comments I don't know.

I agree,and I think the key word here is; 'overdose'; "an excessive and dangerous dose of a drug."

It's no different to playing 'Russian Roulette' with a half loaded gun -- Sooner than later your luck runs out.

Niamh. 07-03-2015 02:31 PM

It was stupid of course but most of us were a little stupid when we were 18, I know I thought I was invincible back then. Poor kid and his family :(

Let's just hope nobody close to you is ever as 'stupid'.

I don't care what Niamh says... do you feel validated because a moderator backed your skewed view?
(No offence Niamh)

Anyone can die my misadventure in rivers or by substances 18 or not.

I wasn't backing anyone, that's just my opinion :laugh: I still feel sorry for the poor kid and his family. Maybe that stuff shouldn't be so readily availible online like that. Even if it had to be sold at chemist, they could atleast speak to people who buy it and tell them the correct amounts to take and properly warn them about the risks of overdosing
