Editorial Reviews

Review

"covers all aspects of these drugs and the serious problems they have created.... Highly recommended" -- Book Report

"examines the development of synthetic testerone...and the ongoing coverups of sports organizations" -- American Libraries

"recommended" -- Choice


Product Description

There may be over three million steroid users in the United States today--teenage athletes, TV wrestlers, police, many others-and most of them acquire the drug on the $4 billion a year black market. Perhaps the fastest growing segment of users is young women 13 to 18. An expert here lays out the historical factors, the synthesis of testosterone, early clinical experimentation with steroids, the formulation of false dogma by the medical community, sports organization coverups, the limitations of testing for steroids, and addiction and treatment programs.
