In Response To: Why did Mike MacDonald stop competing? (Myles Kantor)

After the triceps tear MacDonald actually got back up to about 600# again in training and did official lifts of 500# at 198#, missing an attempt at 565# and also did 560# at 220#, missing an attempt at 580#...so it was not likely the torn triceps, although he said his lockout was affected on that side. The real reason, as he once described to me, was the steroid issue. He was convicted of selling steroids and had to pay some large fines. He decided never to use steroids again, and felt that the drive to be the best would force him to use such to stay competative. he felt the temptation was to great and didn't want any more trouble with the law. He has done some raw tested meets on ocasion, but never got back into lifting seriously, except for periodic training sessions.
