JAKARTA: Ade Rai says he wants to make a movie to raise awareness of the side effects of steroids.
'Steroid abuse is just as harmful as drug abuse ' just as deadly,' the bodybuilder said in Bali, as quoted by tribunnews.com this weekend. 'In Indonesia, there are already cases of death from blood cancer and
kidney failure, all triggered by steroid use.'
The athlete said he was inspired by documentary The King of Size, screened at the 8th annual Bali International Film Festival, about a 40-year-old man who took steroids to increase his muscle mass for a
bodybuilding competition.
'It has become a poorly kept secret that many bodybuilders are on drugs,' he said.
