‘Spiral of Denial’ Provides Analysis of Steroids in Professional Football
[January 4th, 2009] by Millard Baker
“Spiral of Denial: Muscle Doping in American Football” is a new book about anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs in American football written by writer Matt Chaney. Chaney is an admitted steroid user who experimented with anabolic steroids when he played collegiate football for Southeast Missouri State in 1982. His master thesis analyzed the media coverage of anabolic steroids and performance enhancing drugs in American football in the 1980s and 1990s (”Excerpt: ‘Spiral of Denial’ reveals culture of steroid abuse in football,” January 3).
Professor Charles Yesalis, a top steroid expert, gives the book a glowing review.
Before you read this book, make sure you can handle the truth about drugs in football. Why? Because Chaney lays it out for all to see. He thoroughly documents the widespread problem in NCAA football and the NFL. He details the lies, obfuscation, and denial on the part of coaches, athltes, sport journalists, politicians, and, of course, us the fans! Oh, one other thing: This book is one hell of a read.
Excerpts from the book currently appear in the New York Daily News website.
