    Oral steroids are much harder on your internal organs as they have to go through your digestive system. But you do get much faster results by injecting into the blood stream. Ultimately though they have to be filtered by your Liver and Kidneys. Either way the liklyhood of hormones causing damage is very slim. That would take years and years of constant use. I wouldnt be surpised though if Opiates or some form of pain killer has taken its toll as these can have a greater side effect when stacked with other drugs.

    I hope he is ok. As much as I am not too much of a fan I never like to see a guy hurt or ill.

    OK not hating on Brock here but my guess would be damage to the heart because of prolonged steroid use.

    Yes, you clearly are hating on him.

    He is diagnosed by real doctors with mono; you decide, with both your medical degree and experience with the situation, that they're wrong and it's actually steroids causing a heart problem.

    I also would suspect something to do with steroids during his intake years with the WWE.The fact that Shane McMahon recently met with White arouses suspicion as well.

    Not a shred of your "suspicions" is based in any FACTS whatsoever. Vince McMahon plus Brock = Steroids? How so? Last i looked Brock was diagnosed with mono and some other undisclosed illness and yet you in your infinite wisdom resort to supposition using some absurd maths to come to this earth shattering conclusion? I mean honestly are some of you guys serious? Seeing as your soooo clued up on hormone abuse why not expand on some notable cases of hormone abuse that have resulted in a condition such as Brocks. I eagerly await your answer.

    I didn't mean to insult your literacy or diagnostical superpowers.

    Steroids used for performance enhancement are actually quite safe; it's why hormone replacement therapy is so common now. Most of the dead wrestlers died as a result of combining steroids, cocaine to party a night, painkillers to get through the pain and for fun, the APAP/Tylenol in percocet, vicodin, and the like does killer damage on the liver in high doeses when alcohol is added, (they'd be almost better off with pure opiates like morphine or even heroin), alcohol and benzos (Valium, Xanax, etc) to sleep off the cocaine, and meth to start the day. Obviously most only use 2 or 3, but all of those are pro "wrestlings" dirty little (not-so) secret.

    Brock has said that he took "too many damn pain pills and drank too damn much" but he was never known to have a serious problem like Angle.

    Not to mention if it was indeed steroids with Brock, it would be strange to manifest itself now; regardless of how much you think he has used in his life, for the past 5 years he has been under more scrutiny and testing than anybody. And anybody who says "passing a test is easy and works all the time," I will hunt you down and hold a gun to your head until you research anti-doping techniques and success rates.

    WTF. Lesnar, Carwin, Nog etc all falling through. This is getting ridiculous.

    I hope Brock recovers. I want to see what he can achieve.

    If Brock had a problem with drug abuse it would have been evident by now. Tons of those guys in the WWE and OVW are on high doses of Opiates. There on a slew of pain killers that can have any adverse effect when combined with other drugs be it recreational or PED's. Im not interested in any speculation about Brocks health or state of affairs. But labelling baseless claims just because Vince turned up at the UFC is ****ing ridiculous. ( and passing a **** test is easy :D You just have to know how to cycle on and off and what hormones they test for) Bottom line is even in BB circles theres a massive lack of knowledge as to what people put into their bodies.Guys inject stuff and dont even know what it is. All they know is it apparently give them muscles.
