Description
Faust's Gold: Inside the East German Doping Machine has been updated to reveal the shocking truth behind the country's secret "State Plan". In the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of unsuspecting athletes were given massive doses of anabolic steroids, leading to remarkable success at the Olympics but also devastating long-term health consequences. This revised edition draws on the revelations of criminal trials, where coaches, doctors, and officials have confessed to ruthless medical experiments. It also explores recent cases of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, the BALCO scandal, and international cycling. A disturbing and thought-provoking account of the dark side of sports, Faust's Gold is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the world of athletics. With new insights and updates, this book provides a comprehensive look at the East German doping machine and its lasting impact on the world of sports.
