Former American Gladiator Nitro, who likes to use the decoy name "Dan Clark" as he wanders the lowly earth, will publish a book next month, Gladiator: A True Story of ‘Roids, Rage, and Redemption. You can read all about his struggles with man-boobs and shrinkage at Page Six (or just buy the book, although, yeah right), but to me this is less a reason to mock the guy’s genital deterioration than it is an EXCELLENT excuse to point you to this clip of Nitro guest-starring on season 2, episode 19 of Ellen! They made such a wacky, chemically imbalanced romantic pair. I’m shocked it didn’t work out.
Just me, or does anyone else always hear ‘rrhoid, as in hemmorrhoid, instead of ‘roid?
Huh.
If this doesn’t save the embattered publishing industry, nothing will.
American Gladiators admit to steroid use? That’s so funny I don’t need to say nuthin’
Funniest headline ever.
Better him than Turbo. Mmmm…Turbo.
I always think ‘hemorrhoids’ too, but then I figure they have the same side effects so it doesn’t really matter, does it?

I applaud his courage for getting his story out there. Hopefully it will help some people.
As for your headline, EW, you’re pretty tasteless. When did you become TMZ?
I had
‘rrhoids an I had rage because of it.
Buns
I always had a crush on him. Him and Zap.
O gosh. Thanks for including that final sentence; I didn’t even doubt that he was referring to the H-roids until you cleared things up for me. I was all like, “Hemorrhoids make your testes tiny?”
Again, thanks.
Popwatch wow, really. Who wrote this a 7th grader? XSE Drake is completely right, since when DID you become TMZ?
He’s not writing this book for people to laugh at. He’s writing it to get it out there the dangers of using drugs. I don’t know HOW the author didn’t come to realize that. This is a serious book, he didn’t spill his guts for you to get cheap laughs.
He has some serious courage to even WANT to put out there, his personal business. This is something he could’ve kept quiet about and NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN A THING.
I really hope this book is successful, not just because I’m a fan of his, but so that it really educates the young athletes out there, like myself, that using drugs to get better is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, and can have life-threatening, life-altering, and even embarassing side-effects.
He’s as much my hero as he was when I was watching American Gladiators growing up back in the day. Nothing is going to change. He’s still the Nitro I grew up idolizing.
