This weekend I watched the documentary Bigger, Faster, Stronger*, which talks about the use of anabolic steroids as performance enhancing drugs and how they relate to the "American Dream." The director Christian Bell talks about how his childhood heroes Arnold, Stallone, and Hulk all came out saying they have used steroids. He also addresses the conflicting opinions in America on things like steroids, cheating, and what people will do to achieve success. One other issue he touches on is other types of legal "performance enhancers" such as laser eye correction, adderall, and anxiety reducing drugs.The director does a good job of investigating these issues, asking the right questions, being unbiased, and getting both sides of the story. I would recommend checking this out, I am sure I will watch it a few more times. You can watch it for free on YouTube broken down into 11 parts. Post thoughts to comments.
