Download or read book The Juice written by Will Carroll and published by Ivan R. Dee Publisher. This book was released on 2005 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Or are we overreacting? The fact is that the drug problem in baseball is being confronted with a poverty of information. How do steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs work, and what impact do they have on athletes and especially on baseball players? Are they a danger to the game or simply a harbinger of inevitable change? The drug problem is a fundamental issue not only for baseball but for all of sports and society. Athletes experiment while pundits point fingers, former players name names, and fans and observers express their contempt for some of the greatest players ever to take the field. All are operating with little real knowledge of the situation. In The Juice, Will Carroll, an acknowledged authority on baseball's medical problems, calls for a scientific, reasoned approach to the steroids problem. Shunning emotional judgments, he offers a wide-ranging investigation of the drugs, the athletes who use them, the scientific effects and side effects, the testing procedures, and whether drugs have had an impact on the game. He explores the grey area of legal supplements, reviews the law involved in the BALCO case, compares baseball's situation with that of the National Football League, and speculates on the next generation of performance enhancers that may well include gene therapy. In exclusive interviews he profiles the motivations and experiences of professional players, student athletes, drug creators, and those who advocate the legal use of steroids. Carroll has talked with hundreds of players, executives, owners, and experts. "I came to the process with an open mind and plenty of questions," he writes. "The issue of steroids is filled with complications. The characters are deep and interesting and flawed, even the good guys." Solutions are not as easy as they may appear. For a thoroughly rounded perspective on baseball's drug problems, The Juice is the most complete and authoritative book available. Will Carroll's column for Baseball Prospectus, "Under the Knife," has been called "essential reading" by Hall of Famer Peter Gammons. Based in Indianapolis, Mr. Carroll also hosts a weekly syndicated radio show. His first book, Saving the Pitcher, on the prevention of pitching injuries in modern baseball, has been lauded by doctors, trainers, and pitching coaches at all levels of the game. Book jacket.

Download or read book Steroids written by Rob Beamish and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-08-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sports fans or not, readers will be fascinated by this revealing examination of the pressures leading to the widespread use of steroids in sport and the negative, unintended consequences of their ban. From Baron Pierre de Coubertin's original objectives in establishing the modern Olympic Games to the increasingly widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs during the Cold War to the 1998 drug scandal during the Tour de France and beyond, Steroids: A New Look at Performance-Enhancing Drugs puts the social construction of steroids as a banned substance under the microscope and interprets the implications of that particular conception of steroid use in sport. Clearly written and highly accessible for all readers, this book addresses a pressing issue in professional and high-performance sport—the use of steroids—by placing it within the historical context of the ongoing desire to achieve the pinnacle of human sport. Topics examined in detail include the three major crises of Ben Johnson's positive test in the 1988 Seoul Olympics, the creation of the World Anti-Doping Association, and the House Committee on Government Oversight's probe into steroid use. The author provides a critical examination of the current ban on steroids, and boldly advocates a common-sense solution to the complex problem of steroid use in sport: the adoption of harm-reduction strategies and policies rather than outright proscription.
