Disgraced! The Dirty History of Performance-Enhancing Drugs in Sports

Unfortunately, just as at the pro level, many college athletes will do whatever it takes to win--even if it harms their bodies. This book profiles some of the big-name athletes whose lives were changed irrevocably because of scandals involving performance-enhancing drugs. Their stories are powerful cautionary tales for young student-athletes--and anyone interested in the state of contemporary sports.

Book Review: College Athletics
"Boys will like this series and I like the fact that it doesn't glamorize the use of steroids. Middle school boys often suffer from body image issues and need to see the facts about what steroids can do to their bodies."
