Doping in Sports and the TCC Library

Reports of athletes and performance enhancing drugs have reached into all major sports. Baseball, hockey, football, and cycling are often in the headlines, but the problem extends into other sports as well, and from high school and college students to professional athletes. Side effects of steriods, the most common of the abused drugs, include heart and liver damage, strokes, and increased irritability and aggression. The TCC Library collection contains a number of resources on this timely subject.
