bigger stronger faster

Bigger, Stronger, Faster is a fine documentary on the topic of steroids in the USA around a family of 3 male sport fans who decide to consume them in order to gain muscle. There is a resemblance with some of Michael Moore docs. The structure of this piece of journalism investigation is well formed and takes into account many relevant interviewers for and against the use, from the government, sports organizations and sportsmen. A pass through American history and how the use of steroids is well within American sports for a long time, how there are still discrepancies on what is legal and illegal when using steroids and how these are in used by almost all of pro sport people playing the game of stopping taking them at a certain moment in time so they are not caught by the doping test, Carl Lewis and Arnold Schwarzenegger included. Bottom line: everybody does steroids, if the drug company gives a cut to the government = the drug is legal. Alcohol and smoking kill hundreds of thousands yearly, while steroids produces reversible effects on the taker, yeah, and some people died while they used them, but the cause of death was another sickness they had. Score: 8.
