How will sport keep pace with current scientific and biological
advances? Is the possibility of the "bionic athlete" that far away
and is this notion as bad as it might first appear? Questions such
as these and many others are posed and examined by the contributors
to this volume. Some are sceptical of future developments in sport
and demand radical reforms to halt progress, others are more
optimistic and propose that sport should adapt to new advances just
as other realms of the cultural sphere have to.;This book provides
the reader with an insight into the moral and ethical value we
place on sport in today's society. Challenging and demanding, its
contributors urge us to think again about current sports practices
and the future of sport as a cultural phenomenon.
