t1000:
Brisbois, who admits he used steroids during his bodybuilding days, quit in 1993 after his friend and fellow competitor Mohammed "Momo" Benaziza died in his hotel room down the corridor from Brisbois after they competed in the Holland Grand Prix contest.

Postmortems blame Benaziza's death on abuse of diuretics. Bodybuilders use these prescription drugs to lose water in the last few days before a contest, in the process allowing themselves to appear hard and ripped.

"I quit," said Brisbois, 43, who now owns a wine shop in Orlando, Fla. "I had no choice. The sport's crazy. Too much drugs. If I was in it still, I'd be dead."

According to Jon Hotten, author of the book "Muscle: A Writer's Trip through a Sport with No Boundaries," bodybuilding promoters "understand that steroids are an integral part of the sport. They encourage this hyper-ripped and huge look of these guys."

In his book, Hotten said today's professional bodybuilders, some of whom compete at 300 pounds while standing less than 6 feet tall, show what a win-at- any-cost culture can produce.
