3/5 When I was writing the book in the early 2000s — and, no, I never used – anti-aging clinics were still relatively new. Now, they're everywhere. As the Journal reports, a Florida company called @thebiostation is giving out testosterone almost indiscriminately.

2/5 The book was about Dan Duchaine, whose Underground Steroid Handbook launched an era of abuse. His life was a cautionary tale of optimism and avarice. But now, a new generation is taking Dan's dangerous hucksterism out of the shadows.

Cheers to #TheWallStreetJournal for its front-page piece today about the explosion in testosterone therapy, as well as its all-too-often-glossed-over side effects. It's just striking how little has changed since I wrote my book, Steroid Nation, in 2002. https://t.co/o5jvlsb4Gj

RT @michaelkruse: Good stuff here from @shaunassael for @POLITICOMag. https://t.co/ida9ntswhz

I'm thrilled to return to @POLITICOMag with this https://t.co/lLSKitDjF5 deep dive into the '68 election, and how Richard Nixon recruited an unlikely celebrity to woo Black voters. Wilt Chamberlain was pilloried for endorsing Nixon. But now, he may be on the cusp of vindication.

6/6 You can hear it all by going to the "Sports Explains The World" page on Wondery+. Or, for extra content, and more me, hear it on my website... Thanks (literally) for listening... https://t.co/mOmYfehDYB

5/6 We also go to the 1990s, and shows how Wilt's infamous boast that he slept with 20,000 women overshadowed everything else he'd done. Peter returns to put Wilt's stats into a modern context, and the two of us debate why the NBA turned its back on him.https://t.co/mOmYfehDYB

4/6 * I trace Wilt's years in Los Angeles, and how a second NBA championship — compared to the 11 won by Russell — failed to bring him the respect he felt he deserved. https://t.co/mOmYfehDYB

3/6 * I delve into Wilt's isolation as a Black conservative in the 1960s, and the friendship with Richard Nixon that led to a starring, ill-fated role, at the 1968 Republican Convention. It's a political time capsule that feels surprisingly relevant today https://t.co/mOmYfehDYB

2/6 * Brand new analytics, developed with the help of my buddy and go-to stats guru Peter Keating, which show that Wilt was even more dominant than his 68 personal records suggest. We put the debate about Wilt vs Bill Russell into a whole new light...

1/6 I'm thrilled to be able to share this three-part podcast I wrote and produced about the life and times of Wilt Chamberlain that's airing now. If you're wondering how it's different from anything else that's been done on Wilt, well, there's me. And... https://t.co/CSROuF8rR4

A tourist's view of #Coronation. No one is lip syncing Frozen. But still feels over the top in a geriatric, Macy's Day Parade kind of way. WIlliam and Harry are the Liam & Noel Galligher of Buckingham Palace — with William doing Noel's parts. https://t.co/8PwhkfiKDr

This awards stuff never gets old. The piece on my website at https://t.co/g1mqKIRZkK. https://t.co/TkyTnZK5PN

This @appletv train wreck of @mets @nationals reminds me of the time it thought it was a good idea to ram @U2 into my playlist.

How did @AppleTV get this so wrong?

Apple TV Shut up with the plugs.

Hey @Airbnb. How about waiving your fees for any rental properties in #UkraineUnderAttaсk. https://t.co/6r8qxeL5ms
