Doping in Cycling: Interdisciplinary Perspectives provides an
up-to-date overview of the knowledge about doping and anti-doping
in the sport that has dominated doping headlines for at least two
decades. It critically addresses overarching questions related to
doping and anti-doping, and topical issues being raised in the
agenda of policy-makers at the global level. The book features
cross-disciplinary contributions from international leading
scholars in sports sociology, history, philosophy, psychology and
criminology, and even beyond human and social sciences. Split into
three parts (the use and supply of doping products; threats on
cycling and opportunities for anti-doping; and issues,
controversies, and stakes), it covers topics such as changing
patterns of drug use in professional cycling, the impact of
scientific advances on doping in cycling, whether cycling teams can
prevent doping, whistleblowing on doping in cycling, and how to
improve the credibility of the sport. This is a vital resource for
researchers, students, policy-makers, anti-doping organisations and
sports federations, and an important read for anyone involved in
elite cycling.
