"Sport and Drugs" is a concise introduction to the relationship between doping and sport. Drug taking in sport is widely seen as a dangerous risk that challenges both health and the notion of fair play. Numerous scandals led to the establishment of the World Anti Doping Agency, which is almost unequivocally supported by international sporting organisations. Yet these same organisations, were often reluctant to sign the Anti Doping Code. There seems to be a schism between the ideal of elite sport as pure and fair competition and the reality in which sport essentially is about winning at any price. Verner Moller offers a clear analysis of the doping phenomenon in sport against the wider background of drugs in society. He points out paradoxes in anti-doping and challenges us to consider why we do not question the use of drugs in everyday life that we condemn the use of in sports. The book examines anti-doping arguments and offers an overview of the history, practice and future of drugs in sport.
