I found this old thread and wanted to put things in perspective. A lot of those deaths were due to heart disease. People see this and assume steroids are to blame.
Here is a list of soccer players, all young men, who have died of heart related issues, mostly heart attack and complications from enlarged heart.

There is actually way more than this but i'm getting lazy.
I also found at least 20 NRL players (Aussie football) who died of heart failure at a young age.
Tennis players....
23 years old - Violetta Degtiareva
24 - Mathieu Montcourt
There is a heap more but couldn't be fucked researching them individually.
American football (All of these guys were under 25)
Marcellis Williamson
Thomas White
Chris Waddell
McCollins Umeh
Garrett Uekman
Will Trevillion
Gary Tinsley
William Tierney
Fred Thompson
Dale Taylor
Eric Sorey
Matt Sklom
Steve Schoenecker
Brandon Rouse
Charles (Chuck) Ogbogu
Robert Lewin
Kelly Kent
Marcus Jones
Earl Hundley
Eddie Hanna
James Glenn
Tyrone Duplessis
Bernd Diettrich
Devaughn Darling
Chris Cooper
Jason Bitsko
Heath Benedict
So now you might say well all these guys were athletes, so they could have all been using steroids. So lets look at the general stats.
The general public stats for heart disease (UNDER 40)- The assumption is most are non athletes. Not all resulted in death.
In Australia
For hospitalisations in the 2013 and 2014 financial year, for those aged 20 to 40:
2,100 hospitalised due to ischaemic heart disease
1,045 hospitalised for heart attack
570 hospitalised for heart failure
In Merica

0.6% of 20-39 year olds have heart disease. (check out fatalities in link above)
So thats approx 1,950 000, who the majority would have probably never touched a steroid.
