Lots of great resources to check out there. Thanks! It's a few years old now but I found the book 'Run, Swim, Throw, Cheat' by Chris Cooper a decent primer on what the major groups of doping substances actually do.
Thanks! I’ll order it and get back to you once I’ve read it. I read the NFL player Steve Coulson’s book. Sad story but with regards to doping it isn’t so subtle. He talks about taking huge doses of anabolic steroids for 200 pages and how angry they made him. Protocols have evolved since then.
