Sport and Drugs

"Sport and Drugs" offers a sharp and thought-provoking analysis of the doping problems in elite sport. It looks at the various definitions of the term 'doping', and looks at the arguments against the use of drugs in sport. Controversially this book argues that doping is a logical consequence of sporting values rather than an uninvited evil. Following this insight the book unravels the athletes' dilemmas and the unreasonable conditions anti doping expose them to in the cause of the good. It thereby paves the way for a new way of thinking about doping that is in line with the reality of elite sport and which goes to the root of the problem.
