Three years of resolute weightlifting had not gone as planned for this scrawny 18-year-old. But it was 1980 and a legal prescription for the magic elixir, anabolic steroids, was just $20. Now he would transform himself while away at college and return home with trophy-winning strength and a body like a Greek god--a Charles Atlas magazine ad come to life.

That didn''t go quite as planned either. This revealing memoir recounts an athlete''s experiences with performance enhancing drugs at a time when the public and law enforcement knew little about them. Venturing into the "steroid underground," the author used and sold them, was featured in muscle magazines, went under a surgeon''s knife and faced interrogation by a federal marshal.

Industry Reviews

"Frattasio tells the story of taking and selling steroids during the 1980s, a period when steroid prescriptions were legal and law enforcement ignored their use. Writing from the perspective of the average athlete, he describes the different drugs he took and their effects, how he was featured in muscle magazines, faced interrogation by a federal marshal, and other experiences"-ProtoView.
