From turn-of-the-century horseracing to the monolithic anti-doping
attitudes now supported by sporting organizations, the development
of anti-doping ideology has spread throughout modern sport. Yet
heretofore few historians have explored the many ways that
international sport has responded to doping. This book seeks to
fill that gap by examining different aspects of sport's global
efforts to respond to athletes doping. By incorporating cultural,
political, and feminist histories that examine international
responses to doping, this special issue aims to better articulate
the narrative of doping. The work starts with the first mention of
doping in any sport. It examines not only the first efforts to ban
doping but also the athletes who sought performance enhancers.
Focusing on specific framing events, authors in this issue examine
how history of doping and how it has indelibly marked the sporting
landscape. The result is a work with both breadth and focus. From
stories of Japanese swimmers to Italian runners to American
jockeys, the work spans the range of doping history. At the same
time, the authors remain focused around one single issue: the
history of doping in sport. This bookw as published as a special
issue of the International Journal of the History of Sport.

This seventh volume of "Research on Managing Groups and Teams"
examines the effects of status on individuals and groups. At the
most basic level status describes the rank of individuals or groups
within a specified context. It refers to the prestige hierarchy
which determines, which individuals or groups are afforded honor
and respect and are, consequently, given opportunities to influence
outcomes. The authors in this volume consider both the role of
status within groups and how the status of groups within their
larger context affects members and overall group effectiveness.
Consequently, the works presented here consider the relationship
between the status of individuals and groups, the treatment they
receive, and their participation within their immediate
environment; the link between exhibited behaviors and status
conferral; and the emergence and effects of status rivalries within
and across groups, including challenges to existing status
hierarchies. This book will be of particular interest to
individuals interested in understanding the effects of status on
individuals and the groups and organizations in which they are
embedded.
