I heard about this guy before - any truth here? I have not seen any reports on steroid use directly causing serious circulatory issues, especially the kind described in the article. I can understand a severe infection causing circulatory problems that unchecked would result in both legs being amputated, but I am wondering how realistic this is (unsanitized gear, clots from improper injection, existing health probs, etc)

found a little more info. Apparently steroids are blamed for hardening of the arteries and he did have a clot.

Blood clots eh? Didn't know gear could clog the pipes.

It is entirely posible that the guy only did one cycle. It was probably something
like a gram a week of the original Ttokkyo sust, which was known to contain
some sort of bacteria that caused more than it's fair share of health issues.

But still, you have to read between the lines here. How many people die annually from using acetominaphin? I don't recall right off hand, but it seems like
it is somewhere around 50,000. Considering all the people that use gear, both
for recreational/athletic purposes and HRT, one guy losing his legs isn't really
surprising. Look at some of the posts you see here. Posts like: My ass is swelled
up, bright red, and has hurt like hell for 2 weeks. I cant even walk. Should I see a doc or will it just go away?

just look how stupid he was after he learned juice supposedly caused his 1 leg to get cut off, than thinking it was the juice still did it and they wacked the other. so how stupid was this guy when he was doing them recklessly before. and how about him claiming peeple would look in his eyes and get scared he was so raged. i personally dont think the prob was from the juice, and if it was it was his dumb ass knowing years before and still doing them.
