About The Author

Ardit Xhafaj is a retired drug kingpin from Albania who’s travelled throughout Europe and developed a lifelong fascination with fitness and working out thanks to his tough life experiences that left him no choice but to grow strong and fit in the face of adversity. Because of multiple emigrations, he’s been able to come in contact with people of various descents and backgrounds – ingraining him with the values and traditions of every culture he came across. While he’s eventually settled and not on the run anymore, he’s been able to channel his passion into writing.

The book, “Sniff Protein, not Cocaine!”, is an autobiography penned down by Ardit Xhafaj – detailing all of his life experiences, love for the gym, his uncompromising love and dedication for his family and parents, the time spent in prison, his drug-dealing endeavors from the past, and his growth and success as a person. It is an incredible story of resilience, redemption, and personal transformation.
