Want to use EPO? Ask Andreas Munzer.

I realize he died in 1996 but I was always led to believe it was from the use of Masteron and diuretics.

Here is the official account as reported in Anabolic Insider - I have never read this account before and it is interesting as some have been asking about EPO - this also shows his exact cycle pre contest;

March !996 Munzer dies at 31.

After departing from a flight that took him from the US back to Germany, popular pro Andreas Munzer went into severe physical distress and died later at a local hospital from almost complete and total organ failure.

Some preliminary reports alleged that Munzer, a known steroid abuser, was taking a drug to thicken his blood (EPO - Erythropietin) in order to appear more vascular on the posing stage. Like blood doping, EPO promotes supercompensation of glycogen in the muscles. Cosmetically this is appealing to bodybuilders because they can appear as full as possible.

Sadly doctors believe that Munzer allowed himself to become too dehydrated in the process of using the drug. The interactions with other drugs he was taking, coupled with the long flight just made it worse. After landing and beginning to drink water again, his blood could not recover fast enough and it caused extensive organ failure.

Early reports that the 31 year old Munzer's stomach exploded were false.
However, total organ failure, particularly congestive heart failure, causes distorition of body proportions and a distended belly.

Here is what Munzer was taking before he died, minus the EPO;

10-6 weeks before the competition daily:
2 injects of testoviron at 250 mg
1 inject of Parabolan
30 tablets Halotestin
30 tablets of metandienon
20 IU GH
20 IU insulin

( I wonder if they mean mgs instead of tablets?)

5-3 weeks before comp daily:
3 injects Masteron
2 injects Parabolan
30 tablets Halo
50 tablets Stromba
2 injects Stromba
24 Iu GH
unknown insulin

2-1 weeks before comp daily:
2 uinjects Masteron
2 injects Stromba
40 tablets Halo
80 tablets Stromba
24 IU GH
unknown insulin
unknown IGF

Also prior to competition:
Aldactone, Lasix.

Ingested daily throughout the year:
Ephedrine, AN-1, Captagon, Aspirin, Valium, Clenbuterol, theyroid hormone.

His cycles cost him $6900 per month.



For those who knew this already I apologize - but I felt that others like myself may enjoy reading the facts.

Quite interesting. In fact, that's the only time I've seen EPO shown as having a semi-legitimate purpose for BB's. I was always confused when people asked on these boards. I couldn't think of a single reason whatsoever to use it. Now I have one reason, anyway.

it looks like a lot of gear, but figuring the winny tabs were low dose... it doesnt come out to too much mgs afterall, but still... thats a fuckload of gear. cool post though bro... thx for the read

I just got it on good authority that the article is bogus and it was not EPO that killed Munzer - this came from a very trusted bro at Atomical Muscle:

"Munzer died of internal bleeding in the stomach, from a genetic ulcertive disease that ran in his family, what was said by the medical examiner to cause this condition to kill him, was over use of the anti cortisol drug cytadren. Yes he had eventual complete internal organ failure because he bleed to death. IMO the anabolic insider is often misleading."



so I will never believe Anabolic Insider again
