If you’re of a certain age, the steroid era of baseball was your childhood. It was a time of massive home runs and captivating record chases. It was a time before the term “performance enhancing drug” slipped into the mainstream. Icarus, a new documentary that premieres on Netflix today, is a look at the rampant use of steroids in sports. How many people turned a blind eye? How many big names helped foster it? From Lance Armstrong to a plethora of Olympic athletes, Icarus shows you just how prevalent juiced athletes were. Add it to your documentaries to watch list.
