Bigger, Stronger, Faster

documentary

Anabolic steroids make your muscles bigger and give you quicker reflexes. That's the good part. In some people they also grow extra hair, shrink the testes, give them roid rage and, in athletes, an unfair competitive advantage.

So, what to do? Dunno. They seem like a bad idea to me but folks do lots of things that are a bad idea...like hang-gliding, ice climbing, etc...and we let them. Athletes in competition are a different story. It's gotta be 1-in...all-in. Do we really want our athletes to be grotesque freaks? Aren't they already?

Tough issues, nicely drawn here. This doc was informative but amateurish. Worth it.
