First of all bodybuilding is not just about being a pro and looking like Markus. There are many levels of bodybuilding, including natural bodybuilding which has a pro level as well.
Secondly, I assumed by steroids we were talking about "safe & effective" use. All drugs can be dangerous, toxic and even deadly if used improperly and/or abused. This includes OTC drugs like Aspirin. If someone uses an 17-Alpha steroid in high doses for an extended period of time they could have serious liver problems, i.e. cirrhosis, of course drinking alcohol can have the same effect.
Lastly, I do not know of any pro bodybuilder that died from steroid use. I know many cases where drugs they used for contest prep caused death, but not steroids (usually insulin or diuretics).
