Connor Murphy was the aesthetics era’s showman — the shirt comes off, the Omegle chat gasps — and his file closed on his own account: he told Kenny KO he used performance enhancers including SARMs, testosterone boosters and the growth-hormone secretagogue MK-677, while denying classical anabolic steroids. SARMs and GH secretagogues are PEDs on any anti-doping list: confirmed, scoped to what he named, with his steroid denial noted alongside it.

The timeline

Lifting from 13, an NPC Men’s Physique competitor by 2016, and at his 2017 peak self-reporting around 205 lbs (93 kg) at 5’10” (178 cm) — about 188 lbs (85.6 kg) fat-free at our 8% read, FFMI 27, past the ceiling. The community debate that ran for years ended the usual way: partially, in his own words, after the physique was already gone.

Gone, because the second half of his story is the sadder one: a public spiral through extreme fasting, spiritual crisis content, and a physique that shrank by 50-plus lbs — a reminder that the pressure driving young men to enhancement doesn’t discharge when the videos stop getting views.

Verdict

Confirmed — for the named non-steroid PEDs by his own admission, with the math suggesting the list may have been longer and his denial on the record where it belongs. The site’s file on him reads less like a gotcha than a case study in what the aesthetics economy does to its stars.
