In the pursuit of more muscle, enhanced strength, sustained
endurance and idealised physiques, an increasing number of elite
athletes, recreational sport enthusiasts and body-conscious
gym-users are turning to performance and image enhancing drugs and
substances (PIEDS). In many instances, such use occurs with little
regard for the health, social and economic consequences. This book
presents a nuanced, evidence-based examination of PIEDS. It
provides a classification of PIEDS types, physical impacts, rates
of use, user profiles, legal and sporting status, and remedial
program interventions, covering both elite and recreational use. It
offers the perfect guide to assist students, government policy
makers and sport managers in understanding the complex issues
surrounding PIEDS consumption.
