As the concerns about the fate of bodybuilders rise, several IFBB athletes take center stage to address and warn against the risk of unrestricted steroid usage, particularly among the youth. Notably, bodybuilding icon Greg Doucette has also been putting consistent efforts to create awareness about the harsh effects of steroid abuse on athletes.?

He dedicated yet another YouTube video to the matter. The athlete was irked by the fact that despite the drastic cases, young fitness enthusiasts have not toned down on their usage. The pro took the example of Oliver Froslin, an enthusiast in his early 20s, already on steroids.

Revealing the latest ?victim? of anabolic steroids, the Canadian bodybuilder talked about Froslin?s steroid history in his early 20s. He acknowledged that even before he started using PEDs, Froslin looked shredded. The latter, according to Doucette, overused the popular bodybuilding drug, Tren.?

As a result, the young fitness influencer gained 30 lbs of muscle in no time. But Doucette asks, ?He put on a ton of muscle, about 30 pounds but at what cost?? Speaking of the drawbacks, Froslin suffered severe acne and even his mental health took a hit. The online sensation with over 700k followers on Instagram finally decided to terminate his Tren usage. But this did not mean that he was planning to come off clean.?

The Dubai resident shared a post on his social media that read, ?Me now on TRT & happiness VS last year Tren & Depression. Be careful?not worth anything unless u happy.? This provided a glimpse into Froslin?s current PED usage, which involves Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT).

However, the note also hinted at the fact that the influencer was depressed despite having an ideal physique. Likewise, soon after the news of Joesthetics? passing away surfaced, Doucette shared his insight on the state of bodybuilding today.?

The IFBB professional had previously expressed his admiration of the late fitness icon, Jo Lindner, in one of his YouTube videos. However, after his death, Doucette was deeply saddened and reflected on the tragic scenario of the community. He mentioned that steroids might not be the direct reason for Jo?s demise, but there is a possibility that it might have influenced it at some level.

Joesthetics had once admitted his association with PEDs. Referring to this, Doucette said, ?Let?s not use this to place judgment on him or others but let?s use this time to reflect on our own journeys in health and fitness.? Even though the late bodybuilder was highly concerned about his health, life did not turn out as expected.?
