Three seconds in to the trailer BELOW and I already brought it back to the beginning, just to see it again. The clip is for BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER*, a new documentary about America’s love/hate relationship with steroids and cheating in sports. You may not have heard, but there’s been some recent controversies about certain home run kings and certain Hall of Fame pitchers who’ve been accused of using drugs to extend their careers and out-perform the competition. In light of these recent scandals, this film should do well at the box-office. It was made by Chris Bell, who seems like he’s had his own run-in with the drug. And if I’m not crazy, that looked like Ben Johnson being interviewed for a second there, who shamed my Canadian motherland back in 1988, when it was revealed his gold-medal finish in the 100 meters was tainted by steroids. He ended up racing horses for money. Tsk, tsk.

the guy is an asshole no doubt about it but this movie shouldn't have to suffer because of him. it has jsut a valid point to make and frankly i want to hear it. steroids destroy humans and competition. i mean it is just cheating and makes people vulgar depictions of their former selves. it's not right and i disagree and any movie that argues this i'll want to see.
Left wing needs a lying dickhead on his soapbox as much as the right so i think we need to cut moore a little slack for playing an alternative at least.
I am aware he didn't direct this as well the argument just cropped up.
