| Sommario/riassunto: | This book examines the use of steroids which can be medically useful in small, prescribed doses, but are too often abused in sports alongside other performance-enhancing drugs. Young athletes are informed about the risky effects of abusing these drugs to combat the allure of being perceived as a better player. This volume helps portray the dangerous consequences of this type of drug abuse. |
