Athletes are always aiming to be faster, better, stronger. New
techniques to enhance their sporting performance have increasingly
been linked to use of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) and other
hard-to-detect substances like performance-enhancing drugs. This
book offers a timely analysis of the new challenges posed by this
phenomenon in the anti-doping community. The authors present the
first comprehensive perspective on the rapidly shifting doping
scenario and reflect on use, regulation, policy, and market
structure of NPS used in sports. They highlight the challenges with
the list of prohibited substances and methods in and out of
competition. They also evaluate how methods to detect new drugs
present an ongoing battle for doping control as they have to be
adapted constantly. Topics covered within the chapters include:
Contamination of Sports Supplements with Novel Psychoactive
Substances Untested Supplement Use Among Athletes: An Overlooked
Phenomenon? International Drug Control: Protecting the Health of
the Athlete Analysis of New Chemical Entities in a Sport Context
Emerging Drugs in Sport establishes a clear benchmark on the policy
discussion, drawing from available evidence and sources, including
athletes' personal experiences, to generate a fact-based resource
that informs a research as well as wider audience. The book is
essential reading for those working in anti-doping, substance
misuse, sports, ethics, and human enhancement. It also is useful
for policy-makers, legislative personnel, and other professionals
with an interest in protecting clean sport. "Doping is one of the
greatest threats to the integrity of sport. We must never be
tempted to turn our back on the problem and hope it will disappear.
The benefits and values of clean sport have never been more
important to the world. That is why this book with its wide-ranging
approach is so valuable." Thomas Bach, President, International
Olympic Committee "Physical activity is vital to a healthy living,
which is why doping is not just an assault on fair competition, but
also on health. I strongly commend this book for compiling advanced
knowledge on performance-enhancing drugs and promoting health
through sport." Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General, World
Health Organization
