Have anabolic steroids ever directly killed someone?

Question

Im almost positive they never have. But since i read it on a forum that they never have nor have i ever seen it on the news or anything that anabolic steroids did directly cause death. Please provide a source otherwise dont bother replying. I'm writing a paper about steroids and have been looking for a source but havent found one yet. Thanks in advance.

good point. never thought about it like that. i guess this is a lost cause

Answer 1

Yes, they have. I suppose you could move the goalposts by trying to redefine 'directly' but the practice can be dangerous or even deadly. It appears you're pretty close-minded on the subject and it's doubtful you'd listen to anything to the contrary, even from a medical professional. Nonetheless, attached are two summary pages and a link to a description of one of the more obscure possible effects. And next time you ask people to do your homework for you, it might help to take a less arrogant tone.

Answer 2

Depends on what you mean by "directly killed." If you mean someone took a dose, then keeled over dead, I doubt it. However, there is reasonably good evidence that anabolics cause/contribute to hepatocellular (liver) cancer, but there would be a "long" interval between using the steroid and death. Steroids have other bad effects that conceivably could increase, if not directly cause, death

Answer 3

you will never find a story on steroids killing someone because its not like you can overdose on them.What you will find are the "reports" of prolonged steroid use may have caused this or that.mostly propaganda if you ask me.
