Page "Doping in sport" Paragraph 40

Returning to America, Ziegler tried low doses of testosterone on himself, on the American trainer Bob Hoffman and on two lifters, Jim Park and Yaz Kuzahara.

All gained more weight and strength than any training programme would produce but there were side-effects.

Ziegler sought a drug without after-effects and hit on an anabolic steroid, methandrostenolone, ( Dianabol, DBOL ), made in the US in 1958 by Ciba.
