Syrian bodybuilder dies during tourney
HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times
Mumbai, November 06, 2011

Syrian bodybuilder Mahmoud Ibrahim Alhdidi, 29, who was to participate in the Men's World Amateur Bodybuilding Championship in Mumbai, died on Friday night of a suspected cardiac arrest during the weigh-in. Tournament organisers and Indian Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation general secretary Sanjay More confirming the news. "He fell unconscious yesterday due to dehydration and was rushed to a hospital in suburban Malad, where he was declared dead for suspected heart attack," said More.

Over 180 bodybuilders are competing in nine different categories in the tournament, the preliminaries for which were held at the Bhaidas hall in Vile Parle (West) on Saturday. The finals will be held at the Andheri Sports Complex on Sunday.

Bodybuilders usually go on a crash diet a week before the competition to bring their weight down to permissible limits and even stop drinking water during that period. An eyewitness told Hindustan Times on condition of anonymity that Alhdidi was unwell even before he came to the weigh-in and had to be brought on a wheelchair. He fell down and sustained a head injury during the weigh-in and was taken to the hospital after he started vomiting and fell unconscious, added the eyewitness.

Alhdidi was to participate in the 75kg category. Syria has sent a seven-member contingent for the competition but efforts to contact the manager or other players proved futile.

While the organisers maintained that dehydration was the cause of death, the police are not willing to rule out the possibility of overdose of drugs used to reduce weight rapidly.

"We have not given a clean chit to anybody as yet. We have sent samples of the supplements in the athlete's room for examination. The body has been sent for post-mortem and we will be able to ascertain the exact cause of death only after we get the reports," said Ramrao Pawar, additional commissioner of police (north region).

Really? Could you please post that sad news?

I think when you show up to weigh-ins looking pale white, and need to be dragged around in a wheelchair. That's a pretty good sign that you need to drop out of the competition. Was it really worth it?

in my opinion no.

damn 3 in one show? maybe these europeans have better conditioning then americans due to the drug difference .

Everyone is saying the Europeans go pretty crazy with their diuretics. Whether or not that's true, I'm not sure.

 

[Cork]

Of course that **** isn't worth it. Did he think he was going to die? I doubt it. Such a shame.

North Americans have better size due to drug difference. I don't want to start a continent battle here, but if american BB's are competing at +120kg and europeans at barely 95-100, that's not genetics or training or diet.

When Flex Wheeler visited my country in 2007 he said that our biggest mistake is that we measure AAS in milligrams instead of grams...

That's the problem with this sport, the people that succeed are the idiots that hardly care for their health.

That would be why it is BY FAR the worst sport to try to make a career out of.

I agree only with the second part. I mean, Haney walked away injury free and healthy, Levrone is healthy, Jay apparently looks healthy, etc. Of course, much of them are gone: Luke Wood, Andreas Muntzer, etc, but your statement suggests "the guy who use mores drugs, wins".

That's exactly the "point" my non-bodybuilding friends have against me. And that's pure bull****.

I expected a response like this, but that is not what my statement suggests. My point is not that the guys who use the most drugs, make the best bodybuilders. My point is if you want to make it as one of the top bodybuilders in the world, you have to be willing to put your health and life at risk. Anyone that argues long-term AAS abusing is perfectly healthy is in denial.

Guys like Haney and Levrone may have walked away from the sport healthy (as far as we know), but they still took that risk to be at the top. This is why Jay Cutler wanted to retire at a young age in his mid-thirties, but he doesn't seem to want to give it up.

 

[mvsf1]

^^ Ok, I should be sure about your point. Yeah, of course, if you are a pro, your health would be in risk. Even most amateurs health is in risk. Again, I agree with your second statement, making a career from BB would probably would bring "side effects" and yeah, that's a shame.

 

[mvsf1]

Yeah, I've heard that before. Of course he was kidding, but drug abuse is more common in the US than in the European Union, as of today.

Funny how you guys starting yapping about American vs European BBers and whos on what drug and dosage.... when the guy who died is a Syrian and for the past good 6 or 7 years, IFBB World Championships have been dominated by Arabs!!!!!!
