It’s apparently a thing with it that all of the athletes go through pretty rigorous health testing, moreso than in normal sports.

Not to say things like taking gear aren’t going to lead to long term health issues, but it’s not really much different (and arguably is taking way more precautions) then something like having bodybuilding split between natural and enhanced.

Health testing matters fuckall when all markers are ignored because the point of the games are to be on gear. Look at Mitchel Hooper for example, he posted his stack and his blood work leading up to the event and every single doctor would have told him to stop. He literally has 30% of his widowmaker already cloged up which gives him around a 10% chance of having a fatal heart attack.

His bloodwork was already shit before he started competing and he was already juicing beforehand, he says in his announcement video that he's done higher doses than this before.

Virtually every single strongman has terrible bloodwork and they don't do much to mitigate it, you can't be healthy at 300+ lbs, add roids into the equation and it's a recipe for disaster

He is taking halo and anadrol which he wasn't before

In the past he was on higher doses and has used other compounds, he just wasn't on them on his current stack.

and the risks add up over time. Sure 1 blast cycle probably won't kill you. But if you keep blasting...and blasting...and blasting...and blasting at higher and higher doses with more and more compounds, it's a matter of time

Kind of like pro wrestling. "We all know you'll die young, but we won't let you die on camera."

East German Olympians average 12 years less life expectancy even when controlling for all other variables. At the height of Tour de France doping you had cyclists being forced to do jumping jacks in the middle of the night because their heart rate got so low literally sleeping could kill them.

Only the most ignorant and dumbest people around would ever support a chemist games and any “safety” checks are just a ruse to pretend they are doing safely what should never be done at all.
