Is there a high incidence of cancer in body builders? Recommended protein intake for people who work out is 150g+ protein per day.

I’d imagine the common steroid use would be a bit of a confounding factor

Heart and kidney problems due to steroid (ab)use is the leading cause of early death of bodybuilders. I don't think there is much data about natural bodybuilders at old age.
