Drug Education for Teens/Steroids, v. 10 (cc)

Everybody strives to be a winner, and on the playing field, most athletes do this by exercising and eating right. Unfortunately, steroid use by high school athletes trying to take a shortcut and gain an edge is gaining in practice. In Steroids, students examine the use of illegal anabolic steroids and steroidal supplements, profiling case studies that provide a comprehensive overview of the detrimental effects these drugs can have. Vivid animations and expert testimony shed light on what is happening to the mind and body of a steroid user, whose quest to look healthier and more fit ends up doing just the opposite.
