Drugged Athletes,The Crisis in American Sports

The book entitled Drugged Athletes, the Crisis in American Sports, is an excelent read. It has many interesting, intreguing, and sometimes sad parts to it. First off, the drugs most athletes used. Most used Anabolic Steroids to up their strength. Some others used cocaine and marijuana to ease the pain of modern sports injuries, mostly life or carreer threatening injuries. The drugs do eventually ware off, but while they are in affect, they do cause many troubles in the sports they're in. They do cause more bad than good, in most cases. In a select few, nothing happens but the best, like the abuser becoming better at most all catagories for athletic play. They become faster, stronger, and sometimes, even smarter. This is an excellent book to read. I rate this 4 stars.
