1. Mahesh Khokarale
Mahesh was an instructor in one of the Worli, Mumbai’s gym and breathed his last back in 2009. He was not a user of steroid but an associate revealed that he may have used for a competition.
Even a trainer who was fit enough and not a regular user of steroid couldn’t fight back when Malaria hit him. As per the doctors, he had already affected his liver and went into coma after he was diagnosed of Malaria.

2. Muhammad Ahmed
A young boy, Muhammad Ahmed died of kidney and liver failure which was a result of steroid abuse and wrong nutrition. His death sent a shock among all the fitness lovers.
3. Kiran
Bangalore based Kiran died in March 2017 due to the use of anabolic steroids. Doctors refused to treat him because of the kind of steroids he used. His trainer was also booked by the police who inspired him for the use of such steroids and also injections to get the desired body in 6 months.
The instructor had reportedly taken Rs 25000 for the 6-month pack from him to give the results.
4. Rajesh Kumar Gautam
Delhi based Rajesh Kumar Gautam lost his hips due to the use of same anabolic steroids. The young boy had to undergo hip replacement surgery later.
Talking about the case, doctor Sudhir Kapoor told India Today-
“These protein supplements need to be taken with utmost care and that too only after consulting an experienced medical professional. Before launching into a heavy protein diet, a person has to undergo blood and urine tests to ensure if he or she is absorbing it or not.”
He cautioned:
“Those who blindly consume diet supplements to improve overall fitness should learn a lesson from this. There are gyms mushrooming all over Delhi, and diet supplements are freely available at pharmacies. These supplements should be sold only on the prescription of a registered medical practitioner.”
5. Ali (Pakistan)
26-year-old, Ali who was the son of Pakistan’s prominent politician, Siddiqul Farooq died at his house.

Later on, he developed Liver cancer and died. His medical examiner said that the use of anabolic steroids was the direct cause of his death.
The medical examiner Lisa Hashmi in a statement said, “This should come as a clear message to all the people in the fitness industry, who risk their lives by using excessive steroids for the sake of developing heavy physique.”
