The movie, Bigger, Faster, Stronger, written by Chris bell, Deals with another realm of drug abuse: the use of steroids by athletes. For far too long now, drug abuse has been pretty much narrowed down to illegal street drugs (Heroin, Cocaine, etc) or prescription drugs. Bell tells of himself and his two other brothers, raised in a good home with loving parents, that chooses to bulk up by using metabolic steroids (such as the kind that way too many athletes are/have been using for far too long). Bell tries to understand just why people have to use these substances.



This movie showed a lot of the real steroid problems and issues that everyday people have with it. It also shows the thought of doing the drug just because someone like Arnold Schwarzenegger. This film shows the effects of performance enhancing drugs up close and personal. I think every athlete should watch this movie and then see what life with steroids is really like, and then ask them what they think about using something to get by without doing any work to achieve it.
