Bigger, Stronger, Faster*" isn't all hand-wringing and doomsday scenarios. Bell tries to impose a little sanity on the hysteria surrounding artificial hormones, piercing the political posturing.

Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) is indicted for legislating shamelessly on behalf of Utah's supplement industry; California Democrat Henry Waxman, who chaired congressional inquiries into steroid use in baseball, couldn't be more uninformed.
