Known as the “Brazilian Skipper-Kalle”. Arlindo de Souza has died at the age of 55, a British newspaper The Sun news.
De Souza became famous in his home country when he showed off his massive biceps on television. They were 29 inches in circumference, but they hadn’t been obtained with just rye bread – or even with conventional doping agents.
“Kippari-Kalle” had spiked his biceps full of synthol, i.e. a dangerous oil mixture. Thus, the “muscles” did not make him stronger at all.
De Souza died during Christmas week of kidney problems. According to relatives, his lungs began to fill with fluid and his heart stopped.
Doctors had warned de Souza about oil spikes before. According to them, they could have led to the amputation of the hands.
