There are few, if any, aspects of contemporary sport that do not
raise ethical questions. From on-field relationships between
athletes, coaches and officials, to the corporate responsibility of
international sports organizations and businesses, ethical
considerations permeate sport at every level.
This important new collection of articles showcases the very
best international scholarship in the field of sports ethics, and
offers a comprehensive, one-stop resource for any student, scholar
or sportsperson with an interest in this important area. It
addresses cutting-edge contemporary themes within sports ethics,
such as gene doping, as well as introducing classic ethical debates
that define our understanding of sport, sporting conduct and sport
in practice. The Ethics of Sports is arranged into seven thematic
sections, each of which includes an introduction by the editor that
highlights the key themes and places each article in context, and
offers suggestions for further reading.
The Ethics of Sports sheds new light on a wide range of issues
within contemporary sports studies including doping, disability,
gender and ethnicity; the practice of physical education and sports
coaching; sports media; sports business and sports medicine. It is
essential reading for all students with an interest in sport or
applied ethics.
