Body Hits: Sports Junkies

[Pseudonym]

Just a heads up... on Wednesday night at 9.30 on TV One is a documentary on supplements and steroids.

So, how many of us saw the Body Hits doco, and what did we think of it?

I was actually quite impressed. It seemed to give a fairly good overview of how certain supplements and steroids worked. My biggest complaint would be that it was only a 30min program, so it couldn't go into as much detail as I'd have liked. (But then, it was probably more than enough for the average Joe Bloggs anyway.)

I thought the bodybuilder they interviewed was pretty good. I'd been afraid it would be something like Testosterone Boys, where all the bodybuilders are shown as being image-obsessed and angry. Fortunately, this guy wasn't like that at all... I was quite happy for him to represent our sport. He proved he was aware of the risks he was taking, and knew what he was doing, and why.
