(*Question*) - Is being bigger, faster, and stronger really all that important? (*Answer*) - Well - (When it comes to the world of competitive sports) - Yes. Indeed. It is important. (But, there's a price to be paid for this if one decides to take the steroid route) Through plenty of fascinating investigative research - (journalist) Shaun Assael takes a close-up look at America's most deceptive and treacherous drug addictions of them all as it stands today (2007) in the form of steroid use. For the past 30 years this performance-enhancing drug has not only been there to entice every professional athlete looking for a leading edge - But, it has also made its way into high schools where jocks (and jockettes) are, literally, pumping up, big-time. So - If the subject of steroid use (and abuse) in sports strikes an interest in you - Then - Yes. This book is certainly well-worth a read.
