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.
