According the the University of Western Ontario, the side effects of steroid use include the following:
- aggressive behaviour - "Roid Rages";
- paranoia, edginess, impatience, mood swings, headaches, nosebleeds;
- increased blood pressure and heart rate;
- increase in injuries - tendon problems;
- inhibiting natural growth (height);
- prolonged and heavy use results in liver damage and hardening of the arteries that can result in heart attack or stroke.
This is what guys like Chris Benoit live with (if he was, in fact, a heavy steroid user). And I'm sure much of this is visited upon their families. Although most of this may have caused much of the misery the family may have suffered over the long term, it is very likely that it was "roid rage" that ended it all.
