According to this article, Force Factor is a natural supplement that is a blend of naturally occurring ingredients that helps one gain muscle, increase blood flow and oxygen to the body, boost strength and endurance, and improves the immune system. Basically, it does what steroids do, but Force Factor is legal. I find that there are many products on the market that target male athletes who want to “beef up”. I feel that our neoliberal society’s views on competition drive men, and women, to the extremes in order to succeed and become the best at their sport. Sometimes, male athletes who participate in power and performance sports are driven passed their limits and turn to steroids and other performance enhancing substances to perform at higher levels. There have been many popular athletes who have been discovered to be using performance enhancing substances due to the stresses of competition. With the discovery of athletes using steroids, I feel that competition and the drive to succeed have overshadowed the class and integrity of many sports.
