Non-Fiction Memoir
Aggressive, explosive, and boasting awesome athletic
ability, Dan Clark rose to tremendous fame as Nitro on
American Gladiators. He quickly emerged as the most
popular cast member and became a reality television
superstar. But a twenty-year affair with steroids led to a
life of pissing blood, smuggling drugs, destroying hotel
rooms, getting arrested, growing breasts, and lying bloodied
in the street after a vicious fight with his best
friend. This is Clark's riveting, fiercely candid account
of his life, career, and steroid addiction. From an
upbringing defined by tragedy and a difficult search for
identity to tales of performing center stage at Madison
Square Garden and bedding Playboy Bunnies and porn stars,
Clark explores the price of fame, the pressure of stardom,
and how the whole steroid-fueled fantasy finally
imploded. What began in high school as a way to speed up
recovery from injury rapidly turned into an all-consuming
addiction. With selfdeprecating humor and a trove of
incredible stories, Clark provides an eye-opening report on
the dangers of steroids both obvious and hidden -- and
offers his thoughts on why steroid use remains a persistent
problem today. More than just a pulpy exposé,
Gladiator is a triumphant story of self-discovery and
redemption.
