A cycling mate of mine died a few years ago at 44 which is how old i am now due to to a heart attack caused by years of doping. At a bodybuilding gym i used to go to when i turned my back on cycling for a few years everyone was on gear and the really big guys loads of it and the now quite a few of the long term heavy users that would be about 50 are all dying from heart or organ issues and loads of the others look really old and fucked. So for some the cost of being massive is about 40% off your life expectancy.
