The debate around the role of drugs in sport is vibrant. There is a
wealth of evidence from the hard end of science, telling us how
drugs work, how drug testing works, and how many athletes have
fallen foul of the system. The evidence from social science is
still building momentum. For example, what makes an athlete use a
performance enhancing substance? "To win" simply fails to explain
the drug use behaviour we see among athletes. This book provides a
foundation for anyone trying to understand the drugs in sport
problem beyond the hard science by looking at the "people factor"
from different perspectives. After building a case for the social
science of drugs in sport, it is examined from the ethical,
sociological, economic, legal and psychological points of view. The
book concludes with a definitive statement about what researchers,
policy makers, sports administrators, athletes and fans can do to
achieve a social science of drugs in sport that puts people firmly
in the centre of the debate. This volume was published as a special
issue of Sport in Society.
