I saw an advanced screening of this today and it was awesome! Holy shit, the intro was the best intro to a doc I have ever seen. Its a very fair look at the world of steroids.

Can't watch the trailer at work but I found an interesting article on the same topic a few days ago. Basically, it seems impossible to compete without supplements or some sort, and impossible to stamp it out. Fun read. I liked the line about how 'competitive sports starts where healthy sports ends'.

When you make the rules, it's easier to skirt the rules if you use drugs(supplements) they aren't looking for.
