The health and fitness industry has experienced a meteoric rise over the past two decades, yet its slick exterior conceals a darker side.

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.
