At the recent event of Mr Universe2011 held at Mumbai, a Syrian bodybuilder Mahmoud Ibrahim Alhdidi died of the suspect cardiac arrest in his room at the hotel. He was participating in the Mr Universe World Championship in Mumbai. Its an international bodybuilding competition. According to the post mortom report he died due to the sudden heart faliure.
According to the fellow participants he had not eaten anything for more then even before his weight check for the category and he dint even have the water from the last two days resulting the dehydration. he took some weight loosing pills also to reduce further to compete in a lower weight category. He was set to participate in the 75 kg weight category but he was trying to go for the 65+ category and trying to reduce 3-4 kg for that.
He was one of the 300 participants competing from 90 countries around the world and was just 28 years old. The police and the organizers are waiting for the chemical analysis and the autopsy report to find out the supplements he had taken before his death.
Now the point is about the supplements taken during the weight loss program. do they have proper guidelines about the food supplements and the steroids they were taking during the competition? These food supplements, most of the times have been proved fatal for many other bodybuilders and most of them end up having problems with their organs at the later stage of life. Cant this sport be health and clean? why do we need to push our hormones and our organs to perform beyond their limits? We can even compete with the natural form of the body and that to within the limits and with out having pressure physically or mentely.
Friends my suggestion to all of you is that dont blindly follow anybody who is recommending you to the short cuts of having a blast in your muscles, Eat healthy and do your exercises, this will help you a lot, other wise what you earn now as a professional and having all this stuff you will end up spending all your earnings at the later stage of life on your medical bills..
