Provided the coroner here is correct (and I have no reason to doubt he is), it's a stunning revelation. We've seen, in recent years, the devastating effects of steroids on athletes (in particular, professional wrestlers, whose deaths have made national headlines) and it's truly mind-boggling to think that Bruce Lee himself may have died as a result of steroid injections (my own slipped disc put me in traction for more than a week, and it's an injury that has continued to plague me literally every day of my life since). I'd read about the removal of the sweat glands from his armpits and thought it an odd kind of operation to have (having no idea that it was common among users of steroids). Be all of that as it may, Bruce Lee remains one of my heroes; what I learned from him changed my life for the better.
