In the past, the issue of doping in sports was of interest only to
aficionados of elite sports. Nowadays, it is a matter of intense
public scrutiny that spans the worlds of health, medicine,
politics, technology, and beyond. This book illustrates how the
issue of doping has evolved beyond the world of elite sports into
an arena of public health. The book draws upon multi-disciplinary
perspectives from applied and professional ethics, biomedical
science, history, philosophy, policy studies, and sociology. The
essays - written by a group of leading international experts - are
the product of a colloquium of the International Network of
Humanistic Doping Research held at Aarhus University in Denmark.
Their scope ranges from conceptual analysis and case studies to
policy critique. Each of these disciplinary perspectives, it is
argued, is necessary to understand the problem of doping "in the
round." The topics include: the ethics of genetic technologies, the
justification of dope-testing regimes, the relations between sports
doping and the recreational use of drugs for body shape and image
enhancement, and the formation and critique of policies that
reflect the diversity of social issues in doping.
