This book is essential reading for any parent, coach or physician who is confronted with a teen or young man or woman who is at risk of using anabolic steroids or other performance enhancing drugs. Dr. Thomas O'Connor, a US Board Certified Internist, is recognized worldwide as an expert in the use of these drugs. A record-holding powerlifter and weight trainer himself, he has focused his medical practice for nearly 20 years on men's health, testosterone replacement therapy and anabolic steroid recovery. In this book, he shares his clinical experiences along with heavily researched evidence based knowledge to send a warning-- especially to parents of young men (and women!) who may be tempted to use these drugs at an age when their developing bodies are likely to suffer the most long lasting health effects. Although young people are the fastest growing user group in an estimated 4 million users of all ages, the consequences of using these drugs are still not widely understood by parents, coaches or even physicians. In spite of the growing PEDs epidemic, these serious consequences receive little attention either in our media or by our government . There, the problem has been defined as one primarily involving pro athletes and Olympians when the truth is that this group comprises but a fraction of users, and that, unlike the typical user, pro users are carefully monitored by team physicians and thus less likely to over-use and suffer the most devastating consequences.
