Opis

This book examines the alcohol-tolerant ethos that pervades contemporary sport. It argues that sport should be aware of the potential for alcoholism and provide the right type of support for athletes. Drawing on original case studies, it calls for a nuanced understanding of the relationship between bad behaviour and underlying causes.
