Shortly after it was reported that US bodybuilder Cedric McMillan wouldn't participate in the 2022 Arnold Classic, he confirmed the decision by dying of 'roids-unrelated causes.
American bodybuilder Cedric McMillan has died at the age of 44, after years of health complications caused by Covid-19, and a road accident.
I doubt that McMillan suffered years of health complications caused by Covid-19
, since the WuFlu only recently became popular, and he contracted it in 2021. The cause of his death has not been made public. But in the past year, three well-known bodybuilders have gone to wear their posing pouches and baby oil in the great muscle-off in the sky, two of whom died from disclosed heart problems.
After 2020, however, he was largely unable to compete after being plagued by health problems including a serious bicycle crash, heart problems and Covid-19. In a November 2021 interview with Generation Iron, McMillan said he was "almost dead" from his heart problems in July of the same year.

. Today, it's not from steroid (ab)use
