Doping has become one of the most important and high-profile issues
in contemporary sport. Shocking cases such as that of Lance
Armstrong and the US Postal cycling team have exposed the
complicated relationships between athletes, teams, physicians,
sports governing bodies, drugs providers, and judicial systems, all
locked in a constant struggle for competitive advantage. The
Routledge Handbook of Drugs and Sport is simply the most
comprehensive and authoritative survey of social scientific
research on this hugely important issue ever to be published. It
presents an overview of key topics, problems, ideas, concepts and
cases across seven thematic sections, which include chapters
addressing: The history of doping in sport Philosophical approaches
to understanding doping The development of anti-doping policy
Studies of doping in seven major sports, including athletics,
cycling, baseball and soccer In-depth analysis of four of the most
prominent doping scandals in history, namely Ben Johnson,
institutionalized doping in the former GDR, the 1998 Tour de France
and Lance Armstrong WADA and the national anti-doping organizations
Key contemporary debates around strict liability, the
criminalization of doping, and zero tolerance versus harm reduction
Doping outside of elite sport, in gyms, the military and the
police. With contributions from many of the world's leading
researchers into drugs and sport, this book is the perfect starting
point for any advanced student, researcher, policy maker, coach or
administrator looking to develop their understanding of an issue
that has had, and will continue to have, a profound impact on the
development of sport.
