Want to see inside the world of steroids and supplements and how it all became the monster industry it is today? Ever wondered what happens when you dedicate your life to finding another perfect drug for cutting fat and staying younger. Then check out Steroid Nation. The seedy underworld of the gym rats who started it all is exposed as the offshoot of the slimy drug traffickers we've come to know since cocaine hit the scene in the 1980s. The life of Dan Duchaine, The Guru, is all laid out for you, from how he came upon his first steroids and continued to use them and any number of other drugs he could find, until his death after suffering several strokes and twice serving time for distribution. All the people he met, including several prominent athletes and other dealers that have been in the news lately, are tied together to create one complete work in Steroid Nation that will surely serve to only be an initial chapter in the ongoing saga of illegal drugs that help athletes--and non-athletes--maintain a level of fitness unattainable without intense hard work over long periods of time, if at all.
