But his wife claims he was stuck on the waiting list for help with addiction for two years.

Ahhh, the joys of socialized health care!

Who did he think he was, a Mandelbaum? Sad.

He does look great in that photo, though.

My knowledge of steroids is limited but the concept of “addiction” here seems incorrect to me.

I mean, if I really, really liked veal parmigiana I suppose I could claim addiction. But this is just gluttony or simple lack of self-control. And if I wanted it to end and killed myself, then it’s simple suicide. I don’t think “addiction” is the right term.

Huh?

She said: “Mark started using steroids in the build up to our wedding - they’re legal in Ireland and neither of us realised the danger of them.

Idiots! A man did not die from being addicted to pills. A man killed himself. There was no reason involved.

He might have been in better shape for his wedding if he and his wife took vows BEFORE the four kids. Priorities?

Steriods aren’t addictive.

Vanity is.

Not to be insensitive to this woman's loss, but it looks like the steroids also helped her bulk up in, how should I put it, in "certain areas", as well.

Just pointing that out.

James Mason starred in a movie about cortisone abuse. I saw it years ago, liked it, but not sure if it holds up.

Nope..!

when he was off testosterone the body’s endogenous production has been shut down for some time. It requires time to restart.

depression during that time is extremely common, apparently he read very little about it before he got into it deeply.
