Anabolic Steroids and the Athlete

📖 The Scoop

A sports M.D.'s presentation--first--of all documented medical data on anabolic steroids and human growth hormones by athletes and--second--the available practical knowledge on this subject gained from athletes, trainers, coaches, parents, and others. Also, information about several other anabolic drugs and growth hormones--human chronic gonadotropin is another--is reported along with the opinions of those personally involved.
No other book presents this information. Over 300 scientific journal articles form the data base. It is the authoritative source.
These steroids and growth hormones are the hottest current sports topic. Their use, for good or ill, is on the rise but athletes often make decisions based on inadequate information. There is even a chapter on the dollar cost.
This is the book with answers to what people need to know: should I use steroids and growth hormones or not? are they legal? are they quasi-legal? do they have any long-term effects? how can you tell? will they improve performance? what are the side-effects? what does it cost? who uses them? what do they say about them?
