It's amazing the number of influencial people that have existed. If it weren't for articles like this, many of those names would be lost and forgotten.

While Bob Hoffman had the greatest influence on Olympic weightlifting, bodybuilding, and other strength sports in the sixties, Doc Ziegler had the greatest impact. Doc was a pure scientist who became fascinated with strength development. His innovations did more to alter the course of this aspect of physical training that any other individual, before or since.

Nice article.
It was nice to hear about other things than just his creation of Dianabol in this article. He sounded like quite the character.
Though about Dianabol a quote from a wiki article about him:

Very interesting stories. I'm still hoping for a interview of Starr by Rip.
Great read. Second Leonidas.
Came across this interview with Dick Smith also talking about Doc ziegler

While reading this article, I realized that Doc was a true scientist. He did things for the sake of learning and turned down money to do it. Nowadays, many of us are so driven by money that the opportunity to create, find or do something great gets flushed down the toilet if it doesn't make a buck. I wonder how many "Zieglers" are out there today?
