"Gym Candy"
A great book to use for S4S and drugs section is called "Gym Candy" by Carl Deuker. Deuker uses athletics and anabolic steroids (various types of steroid usage) in a football player. It is great. My kids enjoyed this read aloud for Alcohol, Tobacco, & Other Drugs section. The player is conflicted with the stresses of trying to live up to his father's expectations, being the best running back on the team, and getting a college scholarship. He ends up compromising his integrity. (This book could also apply to a PE class).

The students, especially guys, seem to be interested in that topic. I'll have to use this book with my students. Although I don't believe we have many students who use steroids.
