Book Description
Drug abuse in sports is not a new phenomenon. It has been prevalent for many years and has been a significant threat to clean, fair competition. Public attention and media exposure has brought what was once a behind-the-scenes problem into the open. The tragic, untimely deaths of superb athletes has brought this taboo issue into sharper focus, and has made the general public gradually aware of the dangers of anabolic steroids and their alarming impact on the sports arena and society in general. Although initially confined to weightlifters and bodybuilders, anabolic steroid use and substance abuse has spread to virtually all areas of competition. The insidious nature of anabolic steroids is that their side effects are not as immediately evident as with recreational drugs. Thus the true long-term results are not recognized for the dangers they present, both physically and psychologically. These very accessible and addictive drugs, combined with the additive or sport-performance enhancement of 'ergogenic' drugs, present an ominous threat to our youth, having the potential to turn them into walking time bombs. This book documents and discusses the health aspects and ethical concerns surrounding this issue. -- from Foreword.

For Westwood junior Brynn Cadence, high school drama is taken to a whole new level when she discovers the dead body of a classmate on the football field one Friday night. When she tells the police she saw a masked figure fleeing up the bleachers, they dismiss her and label the death accidental. With no one believing what she saw, Brynn’s internal walls start to go up. But there’s one wall she has no control over—the one that separates her and Kyler Fellan’s gym lockers. That’s right, Brynn opens her locker only to find herself face-to-face with the shirtless abs of the school’s star football player and resident flirt. While not an unwelcome surprise, Brynn knows she should leave her fluttering feelings for Kyler on the locker room floor in order to focus on exposing the truth of her classmate’s death. But Kyler’s top jock status has made him privy to some potentially useful gossip, making him a helpful and trustworthy partner in her investigation. As two find themselves delving deeper into the case, they are inevitably drawn closer to each other—even if that isn’t safe for either of them.

Why many of us will live past 100--and enjoy our extra years.

A thyroid support program to avoid the many dangerous effects of thyroid deficiency. A sensible approach to anti-aging exercise--plus 25 ways to defeat the aging effects of stress.

Steroid Man
Author: Adam Frattasio
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476626472
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Three years of resolute weightlifting had not gone as planned for this scrawny 18-year-old. But it was 1980 and a legal prescription for the magic elixir, anabolic steroids, was just $20. Now he would transform himself while away at college and return home with trophy-winning strength and a body like a Greek god--a Charles Atlas magazine ad come to life. That didn't go quite as planned either. This revealing memoir recounts an athlete's experiences with performance enhancing drugs at a time when the public and law enforcement knew little about them. Venturing into the "steroid underground," the author used and sold them, was featured in muscle magazines, went under a surgeon's knife and faced interrogation by a federal marshal.
