The health and fitness industry has experienced a meteoric rise
over the past two decades, yet its slick exterior conceals a darker
side. Using ethnographic data from gyms, interviews, and social
media platforms, this book investigates the growing consumption of
image and performance enhancing drugs (IPEDs), the motivations
behind their use, and their role in masculine body image.
Addressing a gap in the literature, Nick Gibbs also interrogates
both the offline and digital drug supply chains with important
insights for IPED harm reduction practitioners, law makers and
policy advisors.
