The book addresses a series of key aspects of contemporary
anti-doping policy. At the broader philosophical level, questions
are asked about whether the scale of anti-doping activity and the
intrusiveness of anti-doping policy in the lives of athletes is
proportionate to the problem of doping. Aspects of existing
anti-doping practice are also explored at the level of
transnational organisations such as the EU and WADA and also at the
level of the personal choices that need to be made by athletes and
doctors in relation to doping control. Other contributions examine
the complex issue of assessing the extent of doping and also
understanding the factors that motivate athletes to use
performance-enhancing drugs. The analyses provided by academic
contributors are complemented by three contributions, from the
World Anti-Doping Agency, UK Anti-Doping and the International
Tennis Federation, which provide insights into the strategies
designed to reduce the prevalence of doping in sport and the
management of anti-doping processes. This book was published as a
special issue of the International Journal of Sport Policy and
Politics.
