On image-enhancing drugs.

Jason Myles of This Is Revolution is back on, talking to George and Alex H about his article in Damage on increasing steroid use.

Is the taboo on drug use completely gone?

Are we medicating to counter the side-effects of other meds?

How do issues such as steroids and trans reveal contradictory attitudes to the body?

Have the links between body, image, sex, and eroticism been erased?
