Anabolic Steroids Increase Risk for Heart Disease in Young and MiddleAged Men
July 07, 2017 CardioSmart News
After analyzing test results, researchers found that steroid users had significantly weaker hearts than those who never used steroids. Among steroid users, men that currently used anabolic steroids had significantly worse heart function than past users.

Authors also found that steroid users had significantly more plaque build-up in their arteries than non-users. The longer men reported taking steroids, the worse their arteries were. Plaque build-up is a sign of heart disease, which is the No. 1 killer of men and women in the United States.

Did this guy contribute anything to humanity? Off the top of my head I could think of nothing.

So no big loss there. We won't miss his toxic portrayal of masculinity. I give his death a plus for the world.
