The Anti-Doping Crisis in Sport: Causes, Consequences, Solutions
£23.40
The sense of crisis that pervades global sport suggests that the war on doping is still very far from being won. In this critical and provocative study of anti-doping regimes in global sport, Paul Dimeo and Verner Møller argue that the current system is at a critical historical juncture.
Reviewing the recent history of anti-doping, this book highlights serious problems in the approach developed and implemented by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), including continued failure to accept responsibility for the ineffectiveness of the testing system, the growing number of dubious convictions, and damaging human-rights issues. Without a total rethink of how we deal with this critical issue in world sport, this book warns that we could be facing the collapse of anti-doping, both as a policy and as an ideology.
The Anti-Doping Crisis in Sport: Causes, Consequences, Solutions is important reading for all students and scholars of sport studies, as well as researchers, coaches, doctors and policymakers interested in the politics and ethics of drug use in sport. It examines the reasons for the crisis, the consequences of policy strategies, and it explores potential solutions.

Really good account of anti-doing in the real world. Good analysis and critique of the code. Much more interesting than the topic would suggest
Only issue is the spelling and grammar. Someone didn’t proof read this very well. Incorrect names and odd spelling mistakes, albeit infrequent, still quite annoying

Bought this because my son plays football. A thoughtful account of a major headache for sport. I definitely recommend it. More readable than I expected, with loads of case studies to prove their point. Maybe a bit one-sided for some people, but I really do think it will make everyone reassess their views.
